Spirent’s Cable Services Module provides comprehensive capability to test the breadth of the services provided by a Cable MSO. Features like Spectrum Analyzer as well as QAM and Signal Level Analysis in a single platform enable reduced time and capital equipment costs.

With the Cable Services Module, the technician can rapidly validate Service Performance issues as well as accurately pin-point impairments in the forward and return path. The Cable Services Module allows the field technician to administer Single Channel and Multi-Channel tests using a very intuitive user interface all enhanced by a High-Resolution Touch-Screen LCD. A modular platform allows testing of cable services like MoCA, DOCSIS 3.0 as well as Ethernet and Wi-Fi using the same base unit.

    Benefits
