Haw. Code R. § 16-131-40 - General
The following performance standards shall be adhered to by all cable systems:
(1) The frequency
of the visual carrier shall be maintained at 1.25 MHz
+ 25 KHz above the lower boundary of the cable
television channel, except that, in those systems that supply subscribers with
a converter in order to facilitate delivery of cable television channels, the
frequency of the visual carrier at the output of each converter shall be
maintained at 1.25 MHz + 250 KHz above the lower
frequency boundary of the cable television channel;
(2) The frequency of the aural carrier shall
be 4.5 MHz + 1 KHz above the frequency of the visual
carrier;
(3) The visual signal
level at the picture frequency for each desired television channel shall be at
least 0 dBmv (1,000 microvolts referred to 75 ohms), except when overload
occurs at which time attenuation may be used to provide acceptable picture
quality, and shall be maintained within:
(A) 3
dB of the visual signal on either adjacent cable television channel (except for
secured channels); and
(B) 10 dB of
the visual signal level on any other cable television channel (except for
secured channels);
(4)
The voltage of the aural signal shall be maintained between 14 and 18 dB below
its associated visual signal level;
(5) The peak-to-peak variation in visual
signal level caused by undesired low frequency disturbances (hum or repetitive
transients) generated within the system, or by inadequate low frequency
response, shall not exceed five per cent of the visual signal level;
(6) The frequency response for any single
channel shall be within a range of + 2 dB (except for
secured channels);
(7) The ratio of
visual signal level to system noise shall not be less than 40 dB;
(8) The cross modulation ratio on any channel
shall not be less than +46 dB nor shall there be any visible cross modulation
products produced on any channel carried by the cable system;
(9) The terminal isolation between 50 MHz and
300 MHz provided for each subscriber shall not be less than 25 dB except that
the isolation between separate television and FM broadcast terminals for the
same subscriber shall not be less than 15 dB. In the case of multiple sets
operating from a single drop, the isolation factor shall be 18 dB;
(10) The spurious electromagnetic radiation
shall fall within the limits prescribed by the Federal Communications
Commission in
47 C.F.R. section
76.605(11) (1989) which is
made a part of this chapter;
(11)
The system shall be designed for continuous operation;
(12) The system shall be designed to operate
within performance standards though the supply voltage may range from 105 to
130 volts;
(13) The system shall be
designed to transmit National Television Systems Committee monochrome and color
signals over the system operating frequencies; and
(14) The system shall be designed to have
system level maintenance in both headend equipment and in main trunk or
trunks.
