Abstract
Measurements showing improved RF video transmission are presented over a test-bed which replicates parts of a commercial hybrid fibre-coax (HFC) network using an optical fibre specifically engineered for fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) featuring +3 dB higher stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) threshold. Results validate improved system performance and increased reach for use in PON and FTTH architectures
