Description

The MX-RFSG1800 is a Compact Portable Signal and Sweep Generator. This small, handy and inexpensive device can be carried by every technician. It presents a fast and simple tool for creating RF test signals. Commonly used by CATV field and headend technicians where systems are beginning to upgrade their RF plant to 1000 MHz, 1200 MHz and even 1800 MHz.

The device is a highly integrated RF signal/sweep generator specifically designed for Cable Telecommunication Technicians working in the HFC environment. Its small size, portability and battery power can easily assist the technician to quickly identify network issues when performing network bandwidth upgrades, equipment, or plant performance and proofing.

By injecting this signal source into the plant with this device, it allows the user to insert RF signals at higher frequencies (up to 1800 MHz). This allows the technician the opportunity to verify and validate the coax and passives downstream are capable of properly passing higher frequencies.

This allows the technician to “Proof” the network by recording the signal performance at the end of line. The device also provides an excellent solution for troubleshooting missed or defective network equipment, or other anomalies such as “suck-outs”, “roll-off”, and other signal ailments and impairments.
