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 JDSU’s new RPM3000 card was specifically designed to enable MSOs to efficiently and proactively certify, monitor and maintain their DOCSISÂ® 3.0 networks. The PathTrak RPM3000 card gives you the ability to measure and display unequalized MER and constellation – on live upstream DOCSIS channels and QAM test carriers generated by field meters! This works with quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) and QAM channels (all DOCSIS symbol rates). RPM3000 cards can also measure and monitor the upstream spectrum between .5 and 85 MHz. The PathTrakâ„¢ RPM3000 is compatible with all existing PathTrak hardware via free field upgrades which include software and firmware upgrades.
