I've always thought 55 dBmV was the maximum upstream power level cable modems are capable of. Tonight while speaking to a Time Warner / Road Runner tech. support guy, he said he'd seen numbers up to 65 and that his DOCSIS monitoring software showed anything up to 58 as green, up to
62 as yellow, and above 62 as red (I may be off by 1 in those cutoffs, but roughly that, and all the numbers were >55).Anyone know what the story is? Was I wrong about 55 dBmV being the limit? Are newer cable modems capable of higher upstream power levels? Are numbers >55 some quirk of the DOCSIS monitoring software?
Thanks in advance, -WBE
