When written, CableLabs is a single word with both “Cable” and “Labs” using uppercase initial letters. Please refrain from using variations such as “cablelabs,” “Cablelabs,” or “CABLELABS.”

Here you’ll find our logo variations along with guideline for their usage. Make sure to maintain a minimum of 0.3125 inches / 30 px clear space around the logo. This area must be void of any text or graphics. The logo should never be distorted, skewed, blurred, altered or otherwise adjusted in shape, font or color.

CableLabs works to ensure that all announcements containing its name, logo or any reference to the organization, its subsidiaries (Kyrio and SCTE), specifications and members maintain an image that is consistent with our mission statement, trademark and usage agreements.

CableLabs defines an announcement as any material (print, electronic, video or audio) designed to facilitate media coverage or directly inform audiences (customers, investors, partners and press).

• CableLabs must approve all third-party announcements that include reference to the organization or its employees and reserves the right to approve, deny and edit content, in part or in whole.
• Quotes from CableLabs will not promote the vendor or the vendor’s product in any way. Quotes can refer to the “need” that is met by the product or the vendor.
• Other third-party marketing requests for support for items that will be publicly visible for a significant period, such as marketing materials (websites, product collateral, customer listings, etc.) require additional approvals.
• Specifications must cite CableLabs’ trademarks according to the CableLabs Trademark Guidelines.

Certification announcements via press release or blog post require the following additional criteria for consideration:

• Identify the certification wave in which the vendor participated
• Cite the product model number
• Identify whether the product was “certified” or “qualified”
• Cite products that have been designed according to CableLabs’ specifications using the phrase “manufactured in compliance with the XYZ CableLabs Project specification”

Definitions:

• Certification: Product complies to the specification as determined by the Certification Board for Retail Sale.
• Qualification: Product complies to the specification as determined by the Certification Board for Cable Operator Purchase.
• Wave: CableLabs scheduled certification wave number when vendor-submitted product was tested, or when a product will be tested in the future.

All announcements (press releases, blog posts, videos, etc.) related to or referencing CableLabs, its projects, CableLabs’ certified/qualified products, CableLabs’ non-certified/qualified products, products based on CableLabs’ specifications, or quoting CableLabs employees must be reviewed at least seven working days prior to their release by CableLabs.

Notice: If the vendor company does not clear the announcement with CableLabs, the company’s legal counsel may be notified with CableLabs’ concern about making misleading statements. Non-clearing announcements may result in CableLabs not accepting a device for certification.
