Cisco uBR7225VXR Universal Broadband Router
The Cisco uBR7225VXR universal broadband router, part of the Cisco Cable Modem Termination
System (CMTS) solution, allows high-speed data services to be packaged similar to basic cable
television service or video fare.
The router is based on Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) and supports data
and packetized voice connectivity over a bidirectional cable television and IP backbone network. The
Cisco uBR7225VXR universal broadband router typically concentrates traffic from DOCSIS- or
EuroDOCSIS-based cable interfaces and cable modems (or set-top boxes with integrated DOCSIS or
EuroDOCSIS cable modems) on the cable television network and presents that traffic to local and remote
IP hosts. For cable plants not fully upgraded to support two-way cable transmission, the router works in
conjunction with dial-up access products to support upstream traffic from DOCSIS-based cable
interfaces connected to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). The router supports both
6-MHz North American channel plans using ITU-T J.83 Annex B operation and 8-MHz Phase
Alternating Line (PAL) and SEquential Couleur Avec Memoire (SECAM) channel plans using ITU-T
J.83 Annex A operation.

Cable interface line cards that interface to the cable television network. The Cisco uBR7225VXR
card set includes varying upstream-to-downstream interface ratios with differing bandwidth and
modulation schemes supported, as well as the capability to dynamically perform complex spectrum
management and operate in a 6-MHz or 8-MHz channel width environment.
