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.
Equipped with the same base feature set as the CX100, the CX120 boasts the industry’s first Upstream Signal Generator with FEC capabilities as an option. This unique feature is used to characterize the HFC return path for CW, QPSK, QAM16, QAM64, or QAM128 transmission while QAM analysis is made possible when the unit is used in conjunction with the CX180 handheld or CX180 head end monitoring solutions. The TDR option pin-points Opens, Shorts and other impedance abnormalities quickly. Equipped with the Remote View option, the CX120 is able to remotely retrieve on demand return path QAM test results performed at the headend by the CX180R system.
