belegt

English translation: uses frequencies up to 455 MHz, frequencies up to 455 MHz are used

German term or phrase: belegt
Context:
Das Kabelnetz ist bis 455 MHz belegt.

I can't find a translation for this which fits hence attempted translation: "The cable network is occupied up to 455 MHz."

Is there something better for this (I also considered "assigned" but that doesn't seem to fit either)

Explanation:
Thanks for the additional input. I think 'to use' is good candidate in your case. My first impression was that belegt was to say 'no more available frequencies', but that's not the point.

Thanks, I also had the same initial dilemma as you but I agree - I think the author just means "used" here

neutral  Klaus Herrmann: I think you irritation stems from the fact that "belegt/Belegung" can have a long list of valid translations. For another example, look at:http://www.proz.com/kudoz/746104. You can argue that classification is not Belegung, but it's a perfect fit.

  -> Danke. Hier ist das Kabelnetz aber mit 67 Kanälen bis 455 MHz belegt. Wenn es nicht der Fall wäre, würde ich nicht das Wort als "assigned" verstehen. Man kann im Netz ja auch eine Bandbreite für 125 Kanäle haben und nur 67 Kanäle verstreut belegen!
