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 31):
A method comprising:\n selecting between a first configuration of a switching circuit and a second configuration of the switching circuit according to a type of headend to which the system is connected via an optical link, wherein: in the first configuration, the switching circuit couples a first transceiver to a second transceiver via a first processing path; in the second configuration, the switching circuit couples the first transceiver to the second transceiver via a second processing path; in the first configuration, the first transceiver is coupled to the optical link using an external PHY interface; in the second configuration, the first transceiver is coupled to a headend without using the external PHY interface; and the second transceiver is configured to connect to an electrical link.
