Test Equipment

Featuring the latest technology, the DS2831 affords outstanding performance to the CATV engineer. Its RF features are based on a portable and true spectrum analyzer with 80dB of dynamic range, detecting impairments before it affects the customer. A host of new applications help HE/HUB and field engineers perform in-service measurements and locate interference. The in-service upstream persistence mode (any frequency band, max span 206 MHz) reveals interference under bursty signalling.
