Abstract
A CATV system having an aggregator node and at least one compact node. The aggregator node receives downstream signals from a head end and sends upstream signals to the head end. The at least one compact node receives downstream signals from the aggregator node and send upstream signals to the aggregator node. The at least one compact node sends the downstream signal received from the aggregator node to a subscriber positioned in the upstream direction relative to the compact node.
