VePAL CX150-D3+ CATV networking testing system

Equipped with the same base feature set as the CX100+, the VePAL CX150+ D3+ CATV networking testing system 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). With an embedded DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem, the CX150-D3+ supports full upstream and downstream 8x4 channel bonding, IPv6 addressing and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption used in next-generation DOCSIS 3.0 networks.

Cable modem emulation offered by both units 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.

Wireless connectivity has been enhanced: field technicians have the option to upload test results via Bluetooth, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi or 3G UMTS connections (in addition to USB memory stick and FTP capabilities already supported).

Benefits include: intuitive presentation of measurements with test graphics; high-resolution colour touch screen viewable in any lighting conditions fitted with protective cover; robust, handheld chassis.

Features include: frequency analysis from 5 to 1000 MHz; supports Annex A and B signal formats; comprehensive SLM features including single channel measurement, system scan, tilt, and installation check; measure power level of NTSC, PAL and SECAM video signals; carrier-to-noise (C/N), adjacent channel measurement ratio; MER and Pre/Post BER measurements of QAM carriers with Constellation diagram and Histogram; forward and reverse path ingress scan to detect noise and/or CSO/CTB interference.
