Trilithic Introduces New Find-and-Fix Option for the 860 DSPi Field Analyzer

INDIANAPOLIS (November 14, 2011) - Trilithic, an industry leader in broadband test and measurement solutions, announced today a new test suite option for its 860 DSPi Field Analyzer. The LD-1 Linear Distortion Suite enables technicians to track down and efficiently troubleshoot linear distortions that can seriously degrade the digital signals running on modern cable networks.

The new LD-1 Suite solves many of the common issues technicians often face when encountering linear distortion-related problems, such as manually looking for bad passives, split cables and loose or corroded hardware. Paired with the Frequency Domain Reflectometer (FDR), this new find-and-fix option quickly and accurately determines the distance to all types of cable faults that cause microreflections and in-channel linear distortions. Using this test suite, technicians can identify and analyze the distortions, pinpoint the location of the defect causing the problem, and restore two-way service immediately.

Some of the benefits of the LD-1 Suite for the 860 DSPi include: more efficient troubleshooting without the need to swap out hardware or inspect miles of plant; enabling the technician to work independently, without the need to wait for further information from a server application or return maintenance system; and immediate restoration of two-way service at subscriber expectations, with the minimum mean time to repair (MTTR).

The LD-1 Linear Distortion Suite is available to install on all current 860 DSPi devices with a DOCSIS 2 or DOCSIS 3 8x4 modem. To see a demonstration of the 860 DSPi Field Analyzer and LD-1 Suite, visit booth #554 at the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo in Atlanta.
