Standards Categories
Member organizations develop standards through their technical representatives who serve on committees and subcommittees across SCTE Standards Categories, which are focused on specific areas of cable technology. The technical subcommittees are the consensus bodies for development and the Engineering Committee of the SCTE Board of Directors supervises the overall standards program. Learn more about each of the categories, their subcommittees and the standards that they develop to find those relevant to your company’s products and services. Get involved to make sure your organization is keeping up with the latest cable technologies. Join the SCTE Standards Program.
