The SDA-5000 is used for HFC network testing and deployment
of digital video, data, and traditional analog services. It is part of a system
sweep solution. The SDA-5000 is a small, lightweight hand-held field CATV Sweep
Analyzer for diagnosing and eliminating problems quickly in CATV system
equipment. Ideal for aligning amplifiers, testing performance of both forward
and reverse path networks, finding and fixing sources of reverse path ingress,
measuring signal quality, and fulfilling FCC and CENELEC proof-of-performance
requirements.
