Make the First Visit the Only Visit with Extended, Future-Looking Test Capabilities

May 29, 2018 — As network technology evolves, VIAVI Solutions help techs easily adapt to new test needs. As fiber goes deeper into the HFC network, techs can encounter situations that require testing optical levels, or making clean, reliable fiber connections. DSP meters now support VIAVI fiber tools, including the MP-60/80 USB thumb drive-sized optical power meter, and the P5000i fiber scope.

Many networks are opting for higher spectrum efficiency in the return band and turning up OFDMa signals. In addition to a wide array of DOCSIS 3.1 measurements, cable modem statistics now include an indication of the presence of an OFDMa signal, its frequency range, any exclusion zones, and transmit power.

As networks evolve with technologies to provide customers with higher speeds, the home network remains relatively unchanged. Susceptible to craftsmanship faults or damaged/bad cable/components, the home network can be a source of interfering leakage or ingress on the return band. Techs can proactively clear the home network for high bandwidth services with a pressure test in which high level signals are injected to accentuate leaks for simple detection with their DSP or ONX meter.

Features and Benefits

• Fiber ready with P5000i Fiberscope and MP-60/80 Optical Power Meter Support
• Upstream OFDMa analysis, including OFDMa upstream cable modem sweeping
• Simplified home coaxial network troubleshooting with home pressurization testing – Home Leakage Test Kit

With DSP Series meters, techs are empowered to meet challenges brought by network technology advancements. Equip them now to be ready for what’s next. VIAVI DSP Series meters offer the value you need to outfit your entire fleet. Visit here for more information and talk to your VIAVI representative today.

And if you’re going to ANGA COM this year June 12 – 14, in Cologne, Germany be sure to stop by our booth #7/B31 to see how VIAVI can make any network evolution easy.
