This is not correct. DOCSIS is an MPEG stream over QAM or QPSK modulation and there is nothing about it that is compatible to any flavor of PON. In fact if you look at the various CableLabs standards you'll see DPoE ( http://www.cablelabs.com/dpoe/specifications/index.html) which lists how a DOCSIS system can inter-operate and provision an PON system. If you look at
Jay may be referring to something I alluded to earlier, what Calix refers to as RF overlay. The RF signal from the traditional cable system is converted to 1550nm and combined onto the PON before the splitter with a CWDM module. Certain model ONT's split the 1550 back off and convert back to an RF port.
