SCTE® a subsidiary of CableLabs®
SCTE is the non-profit professional society that trains, certifies, and sets the technical standards for the people who build and run cable broadband networks. Founded in 1969 and a subsidiary of CableLabs since 2021, it runs the only ANSI-accredited standards program for the broadband industry, issues role-based professional certifications, delivers online and hands-on technical education, and hosts SCTE TechExpo (formerly Cable-Tec Expo), the largest cable telecommunications event in the Americas. In short: if a technician splices a fiber, proctors a DOCSIS install, or writes a Remote PHY spec, SCTE is usually the reason there's a shared playbook.
