Cable Guru Tom Bumgardner sheds light on CATV

Tom Baumgardner is a smart guy….sometimes obnoxiously so! We playfully refer to him as Mr. Know-it-All in the office because of it. (No doubt about it, if I were to be on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, he would be my “phone a friend.”) Tom reached into the archive of knowledge and spent a few days this week at Wikstrom Telephone doing some RF Training for some of their technicians.
The Agenda included:
1.     Basic RF Design, Cable loss, slope, tilt, insertion loss, etc.
2.     Channel assignment, frequency charts for analog and digital channels
3.     Best home wiring practices
4.     Headend components and design
5.     Distribution- e.i. RF Distribution, target signal levels, CNR, BER, MER, amplifier input/output levels
6.     Connector and Cable Prep good practices
7.     CMTS and DOCSIS standards and practices
Mr. Lundeen was good enough to snap a few action shots of Tom doing his thing! If you are interested in this type of training, please let us know.
