Abstract
When will optical fiber CATV replace coaxial CATV? A study of current literature shows that the time is not yet, although optical fibers have been used for supertrunks and other special purposes. The purpose of the author is to examine some of the calculations which can be used on optical CATV systems as well as some of the improvements necessary for widespread use of optical CATV systems.
