VeEX VePal CX350 is a portable, fully integrated
test solution for legacy Analog and Digital Cable TV
networks supporting the next Generation DOCSIS/Euro
DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem.
Industry's first integrated test solution supporting legacy Analog CATV signals, high definition DVB-C carriers and DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem emulation/measurement in a single instrument. Standard features include a high performance Signal Level Meter (SLM), forward/return path ingress measurement, deep interleaving support, and QAM constellation diagram and diagnostics. Optional features include a QAM+FEC Upstream Signal Generator (USG), a Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) optimized for troubleshooting 75ohm CATV cables, A Return Path QAM Analyzer, and Advanced Signal Measurements which include an Adaptive Equalizer On/Off function to troubleshoot MER/BER problems produced by micro-reflections and related frequency and impedance impairments. A high capacity LiIon battery pack supports a full day operation on a single charge whilst a high contrast full color TFT touch-screen with user selectable "skins" allows viewing in a variety of lighting conditions.
