The ISDB-C technology standard is used in Japanese cable networks.

The DVB-C standard EN 300 429 describes the framing structure, channel coding, and modulation for digital multiprogram television distribution by cable. It describes a system based on the MPEG-2 system layer ISO/ IEC 13818-1, which is harmonized with the transmission standard for satellite, with the addition of an appropriate forward error correction (FEC) technique.
