DS0 RF outputs the downstream after it has been processed by the Cisco uBR7100 series integrated
upconverter. This is an RF signal suitable for output to a combiner.
DS0 outputs the downstream as an IF signal. This signal must be output into an external
waveconverter before sending it to a combiner.
US connects the upstream cables to the upstream ports. If an upstream port is not being used, it
should remain unconnected.
