Today, cable MSOs are migrating to a “fiber deep” approach that pushes fiber all the way to the local access node.  They’re doing this to support the next-generation distributed access architecture (DAA) in which the PHY function is distributed from its traditional location in the head-end out to the local access point, a process known as Remote PHY, or RPHY.  With RPHY
