DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS cable modem with M-Bus for
smart metering
The TDS 10 from Kathrein is a DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS
2.0-compliant cable modem for installation rail mounting. It
is designed to transmit data for remote meter reading. The
TDS 10 automatically identifies if the protocol is DOCSIS or
EuroDOCSIS allowing easy commissioning without requiring
manual intervention.
The design has been specially optimised for installation in
meter cabinets. The form of the housing and the mounting
material fully meet the requirements for installation rail
mounting components.
The TDS 10 features an M-Bus master and is equipped
with three M-Bus clamps which allow connection of up to
30 M-Bus clients (slaves). The clients are fed through the
M-Bus; polarity is not to be taken into account when they
are connected.
The M-Bus is a robust two-wire bus designed for remote
reading of the following reader types:
- Heat meters
- Water meters
- Electricity meters
- Gas meters

interface (address: port: 192.168.100.1:81)
The M-Bus can be designed as a tree or star structure.
Normal telephone cables or category 5 cables can be used
as cabling.
M-Bus data transport:
The headend queries meter data over the TDS 10 on
TCP-Port 3007. The cable modem transacts the commands
and the corresponding M-Bus protocol to the M-Bus over
the serial interface. The received M-Bus data from the
addressed meter is then transmitted back to the headend
over the Ethernet interface (TCP) without interpretation by
the TDS 10. In co-operation with the respective providers,
this new modem opens the doors to totally new business
models for cable operators.

TDA 10-CS, similar to picture
The TDA 10-CS from Kathrein is an interface converter for
bidirectional conversion of the M-Bus protocol into CS-Bus
protocol and vice-versa.
The Kathrein TDA 10-232 is an interface converter for
bidirectional conversion of the M-Bus protocol into RS 232
protocol and vice-versa.
The TDA 10-232 interface converter types are designed
for interface conversion, extend the connection options of
the TDS 10 on other interfaces beyond the M-Bus and are
constructed for installation rail mounting. Different TDA 10
interface converter types can be connected to an M-Bus so
that various interfaces can be operated with a
TDS 10. When connecting the interface modules, observe
the number of load units (M-Bus clients) that are limited by
current drain. A TDS 10 can feed up to 30 load units.

DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS cable modem
with four 65 VAC monitoring inputs
TDS 10-PWR
The TDS 10-PWR from Kathrein is a DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS
2.0-compliant cable modem for installation rail mounting.
It is designed to transmit data during the monitoring of up
to four remote-feed power supplies (65 VAC). Voltages are
measured cyclically and can be read out. If voltages fall
below a user-defined alarm threshold, an alarm will go off.
Different correction factors for various curve forms (sine,
trapezium, rectangle, etc.) can be entered into the MIB for
correct display of voltages.
The TDS 10-PWR automatically identifies if the protocol
is DOCSIS or EuroDOCSIS allowing easy commissioning
without requiring manual intervention.
The design has been specially optimised for installation
in installation cabinets. The form of the housing and the
mounting material fully meet the requirements for installation
rail mounting components.

Remote reading of four AC voltage values over the
existing cable network

Ethernet interface (local service interface)

Connection of up to four power supply lines using screw
terminals (USV) with 65 VAC


(L, N, PE)



LEDs for:
Downstream carrier search, modem ready for data
traffic, Ethernet connection ok, measurement size alarm

Measurement of up to four AC voltage signals (polling,
cycle time < 5 seconds)

Display of measured values in Kathrein-MIB with
integration of SCTE-HMS-MIB for alarm thresholds

The measured value is the rectified mean, using the
correction factor for a sine wave (default). Many other
curve forms with appropriate correction factors are
available at a moment‘s notice.

The earthing inputs “E” and the input “PE” are
connected internally to the unit’s secondary ground
