The SCTE standards program provides an ANSI-accredited forum for the development of technical specifications supporting the cable telecommunicationsindustry. The work program includes: data and telephony over cable; application platform development; digital video; emergency alert systems; network monitoringsystems; cables, connectors and amplifiers; and construction and maintenance practices.
The SCTE Project Register contains a complete list of SCTE projects, including historical documents, and their status. It also contains a cross reference list ordered by Subcommittee number, submission schedules for ANSI, and graphs showing submissions and actions by year. Questions on the program should be submitted to standards@scte.org.
