If this was my own project I wouldn't try to handle it unless I had the proper test equipment which I no longer have. If this were a paying job and large enough it just might prompt me to shell out the $3200 for it. There is no way I would want to select amps and adjust them without it.
Then too we keep referring to this as CATV when it really isn't, at least in the traditional sense. I understand Verizon uses Motorola set top boxes but I have on idea if the DOCIS specs are the same as traditional CATV so I wouldn't know what level is within limits for the return carrier, whether there is only one, or do they do something entirely different.
If this were a cable company you could get some help but I doubt Verizon would even know what you are talking about.
