DSAM 6000 JDSU Communication Analyzer

Features:

• DSAM-6000 Digital Service Analysis Meter
• Sweep, digital video, analog video, DOCSIS® IP, and PacketCable™ VoIP test available in one meter
• Manages and displays sweep files via the web using immediate data synchronized over DOCSIS RF
• Full 4 to 1000 MHz frequency range
• Forward sweep option allows sweeping of analog, digital, and DOCSIS carriers
• Compatibility with existing JDSU Stealth Sweep™ Systems, assuring non-interfering forward and reverse sweep operation compatible with today’s digital carriers
• Rugged, lightweight design withstands rain, cold, heat, bumps, drops, and other accidental mishaps
• Network maintenance is a critical element in achieving the quality of service (QoS) necessary for cable operators to compete with alternative communications providers
• One core requirement of any cable network maintenance plan is to ensure that a system’s broadband frequency response in both the forward path (downstream) and the return path (upstream) performs as required.

Applications:

• Comprehensive Analog and Digital Testing on the Forward Path
• Return and Forward Path Testing and Maintenance
• DOCSIS Service Testing
• Voice Over IP (VoIP) Testing
• Sweep
• Sweepless Sweep Mode
• Enhanced Downstream Spectrum

JDSU has a long history of integrating the high-level functions and advanced technology necessary for maintaining cable networks into scalable hardware and software platforms. Coupling the innovative Signal Analysis Meter (SAM) with award-winning Stealth Sweep technology (Patent No. 5,585,842), JDSU delivers sweep meter solutions unequalled in their ability to perform advanced tests and measurements. These capabilities were integrated into the SDA-5000 series of products, which soon earned its current industry-lead position.

JDSU introduced the DSAM (Digital Service Activation Meter) when DOCSIS standards pushed the industry to adopt a common technology for delivering flawless high-speed data and IP services. This award-winning, landmark meter integrated JDSU’s well-known Service Analysis Meter (SAM) functions with DOCSIS cable modem and PacketCable multimedia terminal adapter (MTA) elements and a PC-based management and file system.

Now, JDSU has introduced the next Wavetek Field Meter, the DSAM-6000 Digital Services Analysis Meter. Recognizing that maintaining cable networks requires more than sweep, JDSU combined the DSAM’s video, audio, and data test functions with the SDA’s downstream forward path and upstream return path sweep functions and created a rugged, multitechnology handheld that performs in the harshest environments.

Because it uses the SDA's powerful Stealth Sweep technology, the DSAM-6000 can be used with existing SDA rackmounted sweep gear, SDA-5500 and SDA-5510, located at headend and hub sites. Additionally, the DSAM-6000 meters can sweep side-by-side with SDA-5000 meters. Therefore, major modifications are not required when DSAM-6000 meters are added to a department’s pool of meters.
