Abstract:
Circuitry of a hybrid fiber-coaxial network may comprise a first transceiver configured to connect the circuitry to an optical link, a second transceiver configured to connect the circuitry to an electrical link, a first processing path, a second processing path, and a switching circuit. In a first configuration, the switching circuit may couple the first transceiver to the second transceiver via the first processing path. In a second configuration, the switching circuit may couple the first transceiver to the second transceiver via the second processing path. The first transceiver may comprise a passive optical network (PON) transceiver and the second transceiver may comprise a data over coaxial service interface specification (DOCSIS) physical layer transceiver. The switching circuit may be configured based on the type of headend to which the circuitry is connected.

Claim (Index 21):
A system comprising:\n a first transceiver configured to connect to an optical link; a second transceiver configured to connect to an electrical link; a first processing path; a second processing path in parallel with the first processing path; and a switching circuit, wherein: in a first configuration, the switching circuit is operable to couple the first transceiver to the second transceiver via the first processing path when the first transceiver is coupled to a headend using an external PHY interface; and in a second configuration, the switching circuit is operable to couple the first transceiver to the second transceiver via the second processing path when the first transceiver is coupled to a headend without using the external PHY interface.
