Acterna / JDSU / WWG LST-1700 Home Wiring Test System
The Acterna / JDSU / WWG LST-1700 Home Wiring Test Kit (HWTK)
helps identify and locate potential problems with home wiring prior to
activating new advanced digital services.
Extensive testing shows that one of the
main challenges to successfully offering new, digitally based services is
the existing wiring in the customers home.
Digital services, including audio, video, Internet, and telephony are less
tolerant than traditional analog services of
frequency response problems, reflections, group delay, and ingress caused
by inferior componentry or poor craftsmanship. Will
the existing wiring deliver the quality the customer demands? Should the
network provider or homeowner plan to rewire when
digital services are activated? You need tools to help answer these
questions quickly and accurately because replacing
wiring makes new service activation costs high, often limiting the
acceptance of new services.
The Acterna
CLI-1750, used in conjunction with the Model LST-1700 Signal
Transmitter, helps identify and locate potential problems
with the distribution network and home wiring prior to activating these
new services. The Wavetek
/ Acterna CLI-1750 and Acterna / JDSU LST-1700are
compact home wiring testers capable of measuring not only routine power
levels, but also digital average power, leakage,frequency
domain reflectometry (FDR), and sweep, which can be useful for a wide
range of trouble shooting from installation to
characterizing existing wire. The instruments superior user interface
and performance can reduce the installation time and
repair cost.
Highlights:
- Complete solution for installers eliminating the need
for multiple meters or testers.
- Combination signal level meter, leakage meter, and
home wiring tester.
- Easy-to-use, portable, and economical.
- Comprehensive tests to verify the quality of an
installation.
- Icon-based user interface for ease of operation in
all languages.
Applications:
- Signal levels are checked to verify proper levels
arriving at the tap and at the house.
- Frequency response is measured to verify proper
losses and to uncover any roll-off or sharp changes in response.
- Frequency Domain Reflectometry test (FDR) reveals
precise location of sources of reflections and degree of severity.
- Reverse Ingress Scan test shows the presence of
noise, or ingress, generated in the house that hampers reverse
communication for all customers sharing the node.
- Leakage test finds potential points of ingress, as
the source may not be in operation while the installer is at the
house.
Features:
- Signal Scan mode shows all channel levels at once.
- digiCheck(TM) digital signal average power
measurement option.
- Sweep and FDR mode finds cable, component, and
craftsmanship-related faults.
- Frequency agile leakage detection and measurement.
- Pass/fail check ensures FCC compliance and reduces
subscriber call-backs.
