ViewTEQ Power Meter and Light Sources ViewTEQ’s VPM-26 is a reliable, easy-to-use optical power meter for accurate measurement of six calibrated wavelengths: 850, 980, 1300, 1310, 1490 & 1550nm. With a measurement range of -50 to +26dBm, it is particularly suited for performing measurements on CATV optical transmitters, EDFA’s and fiber nodes. When used with a VLS-1310, VLS-1550, or VLS-13/15 Light Source, it allows precise measurement of optical loss. Other nm wavelength configurations are available.

NEW! – PathTrakâ„¢ RPM3000 Monitoring Module for PathTrak Return Monitoring System The new RPM3000 card was specifically designed for MSOs to efficiently and proactively certify, monitor and maintain their DOCSIS® 3.0 networks and use the JDSU LivePacketâ„¢ Technology to demodulate LIVE DOCSIS upstreams. This allows the RPM3000 to reveal linear and non-linear impairments within the carrier such as group delay, microreflections and laser clipping, not just simple ingress! This allows operators to:
• Determine the root cause of impairments before a truck roll using traditional spectrum and LivePacket™ technology
• Demodulate inserted out-of-band QAM carriers from DSAM to troubleshoot adjacent carriers or test for new carriers
• Eliminate the need for traditional standalone QAM/spectrum analyzer for troubleshooting return paths
• Get carrier health updates in real-time for live troubleshooting, unlike stale CMTS data. JDSU Click here for more information
Low-Cost MPEG Monitor Cable operators are constructing increasingly complex systems for distribution of digital television programming, and Triveni Digital’s StreamScopeâ„¢ RM-40 addresses the resulting need for low-cost, remote MPEG monitoring.
RM-40 units placed at various points throughout a network validate critical parameters of MPEG streams, assuring that the program streams are valid as they move through the equipment chain or from one site to another for distribution. The RM-40 accelerates not only isolation and troubleshooting of anomalies, but also the repair of problems when they occur.
Both capabilities are critical in maintaining network integrity and viewer satisfaction. Triveni Digital Inc. Click here for more information

The Megger MIT410-TC and MIT430-TC The Megger MIT410-TC and MIT430-TC insulation resistance and continuity testers have been designed specifically for use within the telecommunications industry. Unique telecommunications-related features include a soft canvas carrying bag with shoulder strap and rugged snap hook to attach to a tool belt, and a “bed of nails” test lead set. The model MIT430-TC offers extensive results storage capability for later recall and Bluetooth download capability for wireless transfer of stored results to a PC. The instruments allow the user to determine the condition of the insulation of the twisted copper cable pair, which could cause problems for services such as voice, video, and data or VOIP. When the insulation becomes weak or brittle, causing cracks or exposing copper within the cable, or water ingresses into the cable, the insulation resistance test will identify these situations immediately.
