Rather than centering upgrades around modems and CMTS equipment, MSOs must turn their attention to the physical layer: connectors, cables, cabinets and passive components that are often overlooked until failures occur. Moving to DOCSIS 4.0 does not just require a simple swap of components. It needs a full plant transformation that requires system-level thinking from the start. This eBook explores the key differences between DOCSIS 3.1 and 4.0, explains why operators must rethink their network foundation instead of stacking new technology onto old infrastructure, and outlines the critical products required for a successful upgrade. In this free eBook, you’ll learn: - Why “business as usual” is a risky mindset - 5 assumptions that slow DOCSIS 4.0 progress - How Belden supports a successful network upgrade - The essential products for DOCSIS 4.0 deployments #### PLEASE SUBMIT THE FORM BELOW ![About\_Us\_Landing\_Page\_Photo](https://go.precisionot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/About_Us_Landing_Page_Photo.jpg?width=360&height=360&name=About_Us_Landing_Page_Photo.jpg) ###### About PrecisionOT Precision Optical Technologies, Inc. is a systems integration company focused on end-to-end optical networking solutions, network design services and cutting-edge product development advancements.
