Coaxial Cable Home Network (CCHN) Modem is a device that connects users to an internet service provider (ISP) via a coaxial cable.
With the increasing use of Coaxial Cable Home Network Modem, the Indonesian government through Regulation of the Director General (PERDIRJEN) No. 3 Tahun 2021 from the Ministry of Communication and Digital (KOMDIGI) has established passive optical network testing standards to ensure that these devices are safe, efficient, and do not interfere with each other.
This regulation is intended to ensure that all Coaxial Cable Home Network Modem circulating in Indonesia must ensure their quality, safety, and compliance with applicable regulations through testing standards.

Coaxial Cable Home Network Modem Testing Standard
Before being used or marketed in Indonesia, Coaxial Cable Home Network Modem devices must meet several established technical requirements. Here are some of the standards that must be met:
Power Supply
Coaxial Cable Home Network Modem can be supplied with either AC or DC power. For devices with an AC power supply, the device must operate normally with 220V of approximately 10% and 50 Hz of approximately 6% frequency. In the case that the device uses an external power source, such as an AC adapter, that supply must not affect the device’s operability.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
EMC measurements on CCHN Modem are divided into two, namely, emission and immunity measurements. The following is an explanation of the measurements.
- EMC Emission: Measurements for OLT devices and ONT/ONU devices refer to SNI ISO/IEC CISPR 32.
- EMC Immunity: Measurements must meet the requirements of SNI ISO/IEC CISPR 35.
Electrical Safety
The electrical safety assessment of FSO telecommunication equipment must meet the requirements specified in IEC 60950-1 or IEC 62368-1. FSO telecommunication equipment operates with SELV, referring to voltages that do not exceed 42.4 V peak or 60 V DC.
Interoperability Interface Requirements
The CCHN Modem must have an interface type under the following interoperability requirements:
- Coaxial Interface: The coaxial interface shall use a type F connector (IEC 60169-24) with an impedance value of 75 Ohms and through one of the protocols used between the MoCA or ITU G.hn interface.
- Ethernet interface: The interface must conform to the protocol type 100BASE-T (IEEE 802.3ab-1999). Verification can be done via a plug test.
Testing Method
Testing of the CCHN Modem is performed by or based on test methods developed and validated by accredited test centers.
Coaxial Cable Home Network Modem Certification Process in Indonesia
For Coaxial Cable Home Network Modem to be used legally in Indonesia, certification from DJID is required. Here are the steps to get it:
Pre-testing the device
Before official testing, the device must be pre-tested first using measuring equipment such as a spectrum analyzer.
This helps ensure devices meet technical standards before being tested in authorized laboratories.
Testing at an official laboratory
After passing the pre-testing, the gadget will be sent to an assigned official research facility for experience testing according to the guidelines stipulated in the Regulation of the Director General of the Ministry of Communication and Digital No. 3 Tahun 2021.
Issuance of certificates
After the device passes testing, an official certificate will be issued by DJID. This certificate is a requirement to market the device legally in Indonesia.
Tips to ensure standards compliance
- Learn the latest regulations: Make sure you understand every detail of the Regulation of the Director General of the Ministry of Communication and Digital No. 3 Tahun 2021, including technical requirements and test methods.
- Perform pre-testing: Before official testing, perform pre-testing to ensure the device meets standards. If you don’t have a measuring instrument, use the DJID certification service, which provides pre-testing services.
- Counsel a master: If this is your to begin with time looking for certification, consider utilizing the services of experienced DJID certification administrations.
