OpenCable Specifications
Technical specifications publicly available for manufacturers to reference are provided in PDF format only. Issued specifications undergo changes through the Specification Change Process.
Consistent with current practice, Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) are considered to be part of the applicable specification, even though they may not yet be included in a published version of the Issued specification. Therefore, for the purpose of compliance testing, CableLabs considers the current version of the specification to consist of the most recent issued version of the specification as it appears on CableLabs' Web site, and any applicable ECNs. ECNs are considered mandatory for Certification/Qualification in the Certification Wave or effective date as indicated in the ECN.
Once ECNs are incorporated into the specification and the next version of the specification has been published, those incorporated ECNs will be removed from the public Web page and archived in DocZone. The public Web page will state if there are no ECNs for a particular project.
