Handheld CATV/QAM Analyzer Intended for both Analog and Digital TV Signal Analysis

January 19th, 2012 Posted inGAO Comm News

Toronto, Canada – GAO Comm has announced the release of its handheld CATV/QAM analyzer which is intended for both analog and digital TV signal analysis. Digital TV index measurement includes channel power, MER (modulation error ratio), BER (bit error rate) and constellation diagrams for 16/ 32/ 64/ 128/ 256QAM/ ITU-TJ.83 Annex A/B/C modulation types. Analog TV index measurement includes C/N, V/A, Tilt, Limit and trunk voltage.

This versatile CATV/QAM analyzer, model A0N00014, offers a spectrum analysis function, CM statistic function, Ping function and bandwidth testing function. It operates at a frequency range of 5 to 1000 MHz and features fast spectrum analysis, auto/limit test function and channel and spectrum scanning. The compact analyzer runs under Linux operating system, has a built-in Web browser and communicates with a computer via a USB port for simple data communications and storage. Its cable modem testing mode is compatible with DOCSIS 1.X, 2.0 and 3.0. It is powered by a 4.8 V 2.1 Ah rechargeable battery providing more than 6 hours continuous operation when fully charged.

This handheld CATV/QAM analyzer belongs to GAO’s family of CATV Meter & Instrument. This line of products includes CATV analyzers which is ideal for analog TV channel testing, digital channel power testing and analog TV image monitoring, Handheld Signal Level Analyzer Featuring CATV Testing which tests CATV signal levels in both channel (SCAN) and frequency (SPECTRUM) modes, and Portable CATV Signal Analyzer which measures CATV TILT and trunk cable voltage accurately and also tests DVB-C digital signal features including average peak power, MER, BER, C/N, EVM and provides constellation diagram.

Network Tester Combines the Functionality of Both a TDR and DMM into One Unit

January 12th, 2012 Posted inGAO Comm News

Toronto, Canada – GAO Comm has launched its handheld network tester designed for the installation and maintenance of xDSL networks The advanced network tester integrates the functionality of both a Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) and a Digital Multi- Meter (DMM) into one unit.

This full-featured compact network tester, model A0060002, performs network layer testing including Ping, IPconfig, Tracert and Route, cable length testing, PPPOE dialing, attribute revision, and wiring diagram testing to validate cable link sequence. The network tester also conducts DMM tests such as AC or DC voltage, loop resistance, line capacitance and line insulation.  It tests 4 pairs of non-shielded cables and 4 pairs of shielded cables including CAT5, CAT5E and CAT6. The easy–to-use tester measures the cable length and locates breaks and faults within a maximum distance of 150 m.

This portable network tester offers fixative IP scanning and Web browsing for LAN test and has a memory capacity of 20 MB to store test results. It can be powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery or a 9.6 V DC adaptor. The embedded software can be upgraded to the latest version through LAN or USB.

This network tester belongs to GAO’s family of Network Testers. This line of products is suited for the installation and maintenance of networks and conduct network testing, cable testing and many other tests. The line also includes a Handheld Portable Gigabit Ethernet Tester which is widely used in BER testing of layer1, layer2, layer3, and RFC-2544. This family is ergonomically designed and easy to carry thus it becomes an ideal choice for technicians.

Cisco Compatible 10GBASE-SR X2 Transceiver

January 5th, 2012 Posted inGAO Comm News

Toronto, Canada – GAO Comm is offering its Cisco compatible 10GBASE-SR X2 transceiver which can be used in switches and modules that use X2 transceivers. It is an input/output device which plugs into an Ethernet X2 port of a Cisco switch or router to link the port with the network.

This high performance 10GBASE-SR X2 transceiver, model C015X201, is hot Z-pluggable and features up to 10.3 GBd bi-directional data links and RoHS compliance.

This fully integrated 10.3 Gbit/s optical transceiver module consists of an 850 nm wavelength optical transmitter and a receiver, XAUI interface, Mux and Demux with clock and data recovery (CDR). It uses an 850 nm VCSEL laser diode to achieve a transmission distance of up to 300 m over 50/125 multi-mode fiber (MMF). This transceiver also allows for MDIO and DOM (Digital Optics Monitoring) and has SC duplex connectors. Its optical interface is compliant with IEEE802.3ae and 10GBASE-SR. In addition, the transceiver is compliant with X2 Multi-Source Agreement (MSA).

This Cisco compatible 10GBASE-SR X2 transceiver belongs to GAO’s family of Cisco Compatible Transceivers. This line includes a wide variety of Cisco compatible transceivers with different wavelengths such as Cisco Compatible 10GBASE-LR X2 Transceiver which uses a 1310 nm DML laser diode to achieve a transmission distance of up to 20 km over standard single mode fiber, Cisco Compatible 10GBASE-LR XFP Transceiver, Cisco Compatible 10GBASE-SR XENPAK Transceiver, Cisco Compatible 1.25 Gbps CWDM GBIC Optical Transceiver Series and other similar products. GAO’s pluggable transceivers offer a convenient and cost effective solution for use in data centers, metropolitan area access and ring networks, and storage area networks. GAO’s portfolio of compatible transceivers offers a rich set of choices in terms of speeds, protocols, reaches and accepted transmission media.
