Cisco uBR7246VXR wired router Fast Ethernet Black

The Cisco® uBR7246VXR Universal Broadband Router is a service-enabling, communications-grade cable modem termination system (CMTS) that offers high reliability, modular scalability, and significant investment protection. Because of the Cisco uBR7246VXR's (Figure 1) support for a broad range of features, cable operators can cost-effectively deploy solutions that address a wide range of density, performance, and service requirements, and feel confident the router also will support future networking needs.

The Cisco uBR7246VXR is qualified for DOCSIS ® 1.1 and 1.0, as well as Euro-DOCSIS 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0. The product is also PacketCable ™ 1.1-qualified. Beginning in Cisco IOS ® Release 12.3(13)BC, the product supports PacketCable ™ Multimedia (PCMM), enabling cable operators to deploy unique, next-generation multimedia services on their communications-grade CMTSs. Beginning in Cisco IOS ® Release 12.3(33)SCD, the product is full DOCSIS3.0 and Euro-DOCSIS3.0 compliant.

The product further supports the CableLabs ® OpenCable ™ DOCSIS Set-Top Gateway (DSG) specification. DSG enables cable operators to transport upstream and downstream video traffic directly through the CMTS instead of through a proprietary, standalone video infrastructure. Incorporating out-of-band (OOB) messaging in DOCSIS digitally modulated carriers, cable operators can consolidate cable modem and set-top box (STB) data traffic on a shared DOCSIS channel.

As operators evolve their traditional infrastructures to an IP Next-Generation Network supporting IP data, voice, and video traffic, the CMTS must support advanced routing protocols and offer advanced automated intelligence. The Cisco uBR7246VXR evolves the CMTS into an intelligent broadband edge platform that delivers highly competitive service bundles. The product enables cable operators to capture the full potential of their cable spectrum and DOCSIS hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) networks. The product supports up to 10,000 subscribers.
