Intended use MX-RFSG1800
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.
