Equipped with the same base feature set as the CX100, the CX150+ is fitted with a built-in DOCSIS 2.0 compliant Cable Modem that is capable of linking up with a Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS). Cable modem emulation provides valuable statistics pertaining to the upstream and downstream paths and related servers for video, internet and VoIP traffic, Triple Play Services can be verified on either the RF and/or LAN interfaces while the unique pass-through mode provides true modem emulation and Ethernet traffic statistics. The Remote View option allows viewing of the return path monitoring results from a CX180R headend system.
Equipped with the same base feature set as the CX100, the CX120+ boasts the industry’s first Upstream Signal Generator with FEC capabilities as an option. This unique feature is used to characterize the HFC return path for CW, QPSK, QAM16, QAM64, or QAM128 transmission while QAM analysis is made possible when the unit is used in conjunction with the CX180 handheld or CX180 head end monitoring solutions. The TDR option pin-points Opens, Shorts and other impedance abnormalities quickly. Equipped with the Remote View option, the CX120+ is able to remotely retrieve on demand return path QAM test results performed at the headend by the CX180R system.
A next generation CATV installer meter to characterize and measure Analog and Digital video signals. For Analog carriers, Peak Video level, single or dual channel Audio levels and Carrier to Noise measurements are possible on NTSC, PAL, or SECAM video formats. Digital QAM16/64/256 carriers with or without deep Interleaving are measured accurately with MER, BER and Constellation diagram results being reported. Tilt, Quick Test, and Forward/Reverse ingress scan are standard features. The built-in Ethernet port supports Triple Play test features, such as, VoIP Call emulation with MOS scoring, Web-browser, IP connection testing, remote control, test results upload/download, and system management. WiFi connectivity tests can be performed using a USB WiFi adaptor.
This palm size, light weight TDR is an ideal tool for co-axial and twisted pair cable fault location. The One-touch Automatic Fault Locating (AFL) feature quickly identifies cable faults within a distance range of 4,000 meters or 12,000 feet, while the graphic display simplifies viewing of detected impairments. Velocity of Propagation (Vp), attenuation and cable range can be easily programmed via the unit’s user friendly interface. Four Alkaline batteries provide up to 30 hours of continuous autonomy and an auto power off mode extends the battery life for months of normal daily usage. A transflective LCD with backlight enables operation under any lighting conditions.
An all-in-one, super-tech installation and maintenance tool for next generation CATV networks. It can be used at the headend for return path ingress scan and return path QAM analysis. Enhanced ingress monitoring in both the forward and reverse paths is possible across a 50dB dynamic range. Adjustable Resolution Bandwidths, measurement dwell times and attenuation provide spectrum analysis capabilities all optimized for CATV signal types and bandwidth. Similar to the CX150+, a DOCSIS 2.0 Cable Modem or an advanced USG are available as hardware options at time of order or as field upgrades. Remove View software option is also available on CX180+.
This rack mount headend system completes the requirement of DOCSIS 3.0 deployment where higher QAM on the return path becomes necessary and mandatory. The compact 1U rack mount chassis supports simultaneous and continuous ingress scanning of all 10 ports at a fast sweep rate of 200ms and dual ports are available for return path spectrum, QAM, MER, BER, and Constellation analysis. The unique system architecture is an affordable entry solution which can be scaled easily for future network expansions. The system is completed by a controller software package offering 3D graphics for detailed analysis of ingress, alarm detection/generation and trouble ticket management. A server option coupled to the system is capable of storing 30 days of ingress monitoring data for reference.
The CX180F is a rack mount monitoring system to check the performance of analog and digital channels being transmitted downstream or towards customers across a CATV HFC network. Equipped with three test ports, key signal parameters including level, BER, MER, and Constellation are scanned continuously and non-intrusively. Advanced spectrum analysis across the entire operating frequency band, detects ingress which can lead to signal impairment and/or failure. The ReVeal CX180F controller/server package which forms an integral part of the system, continuously checks for signal values that exceed user defined thresholds. Out of tolerance parameters trigger alarms which inform and alert the headend operator of problematic links and service.
