Cable TV (CATV)
CATV technology sends radio frequency signals through fixed optical fibers or coaxial cables to your TV set instead of the traditional television method of broadcasting via radio waves in which a television antenna is required. FM radio programming, high-speed Internet, telephony and similar non television services may also be provided through the same wire.
CATV involves distributing a number of television channels collected at a central location to subscribers within an area by means of a branched network of optical fibers and/or coaxial cables and broadband amplifiers, which enable a much better quality of reception.
