Are you insane?

The DOCSIS specs say 58dBmV, for QPSK, 55dBmV for 16QAM. Those are absolute max.

Higher certainly isn't better, 42 is no worse than 52.

Not sure what you're doing now but hope it isn't cable modem support. Read http://www.cablemodem.com for specifications, then give it some safety margin and you'll realise how crazy that is.
