Fluke TS100 Metric Cable Fault Finder
An easy-to-use fault locator, cable and wire manager and tone generator. This easy-to-use, competitively priced tester is three tools in one -- a fault locator, a cable & wire manager and a tone generator with SmartTone™ technology. From just ONE END of any two or more conductor cable you can measure up to 3,000 feet (915 meters). Easily find the distance to opens or shorts on electrical wire, telephone wire, security wire and coax. Results appear as a distance reading rather than a waveform, so it's perfect for technicians unfamiliar with Time Domain Reflectometery (TDR). Find and fix cable problems without pulling new wire or blindly cutting into walls. Intermittent faults are easier to find because the unit constantly measures while "On".

VeEX CX 100/120/180 Series CATV Expert
VeEX™ CX series are next generation test solutions designed for analog and digital cable TV networks
supporting VoIP, WiFi, and Internet service. Analog and Digital SLM, ingress noise sweep, deep interleave
support, and QAM constellation analysis are among many standard features. Enhanced optional features
include QAM16/64/128 Upstream Generation (USG), Reverse Path QAM Analysis, and DOCSIS 2.0 Cable
Modem emulation. A high capacity LiIon battery pack provides extended autonomy for a full day use with
only a single charge.
An all-in-one, super-tech installation and maintenance tool for next generation CATV networks. It can be
used at the headend for return path ingress scan and return path QAM analysis. Enhanced ingress
monitoring in both the forward and reverse paths is possible across a 50dB dynamic range. Adjustable
resolution bandwidths, measurement dwell times and attenuation provide spectrum analysis capabilities all
optimized for CATV signal types and bandwidth. Similar to the CX150+, a DOCSIS 2.0 cable modem or an
advanced USG are available as hardware options at time of order or as field upgrades. Remote View
software option is also available on the CX180+.

VoipFuture Smart RTP Monitoring
RTP Monitoring is the real-time analysis of media streams and their individual packets. Data from actual VoIP calls can
be gathered anywhere in an IP network, allowing to track the quality of RTP streams during transit.
The quality of VoIP calls is more likely to vary than the quality known from the old TDM world. A shared packet-switched transport
with many complex devices and networks simply has many problem sources. This becomes evident as the amount of traffic
increases. Keeping the IP network under control is thus vital to the flawless operation of any VoIP service. The VOIPFUTURE system
provides all the relevant information required for VoIP network management.
The probes generate quality data records (QDR) for every 5 s segment of every stream on a monitored link. Examples of the
detailed in-call information contained in each QDR include:
Jitter & packet inter-arrival time histograms,
Packet loss & burst loss histograms,
Used DSCP code points and
Indicators for different impairment types, e.g. network
overload
