Backup power system for cable television networks

Abstract

A power backup system having a series of equipment operating together to back up a nodal branch of a cable TV network, which has been affected by a power failure, from another nodal branch with normal power flow, or from an auxiliary generator. A cable TV network includes several nodal branches, which include a variety of active equipment and components that are responsible for providing the signal to users at the appropriate levels and parameters. Through the interconnection of the different circuits, energy can be redirected from an area with electrical supply to an area where there is a power supply deficiency, and applying a good equipment positioning strategy, an integral backup system in which each branch supports the others in the network. The equipment for this system is compatible with other existing equipment and perfectly operational on its own, which enables a wide range of possible network configurations.
