Summary
Since the first publication in 1983, the various editions of NCTA Recommended Practices for Measurement on Cable Television Systems and SCTE Measurement Recommended Practices have served as a defacto standard for measurements on operational cable systems, whether made by operators, regulators or independent consultants.
This Fifth Edition includes updates to content in the Fourth Edition, especially references to FCC rules, signal leakage and proof-of-performance testing in digital systems, new tutorials, and more.
