Description: Attention: please contact me prior to purchase to ensure I can meet your specific timelines and delivery expectations. I apologize in advance for this inconvenience as I currently travel quite a bit for work. JDSU SDA5000 SDA-5000 PATHTRACK/ Reverse Sweep /Qam Cable Meter LOADED. Condition is used. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail. Item will come with battery charger and battery. See below for description about this series of testers. This listing is not for the headend unit (SDA-5510), see separate listing for that unit. The Stealth Digital Analyzer (SDA) cable network measurement tools test a wide range of critical parameters, helping you prove and maintain your system’s performance. Advanced features include tools to support preventative maintenance programs for improving network quality. Applications include aligning amplifiers such as optical nodes, testing the performance of both forward and reverse path networks, finding and fixing sources of reverse path ingress, measuring signal quality (both continuous and bursty digital carriers), and fulfilling FCC and CENELEC proof-of- performance requirements. You can perform comprehensive troubleshooting and preventative maintenance tests with accuracy and ease using Acterna’s SDA products: • Quickly check frequency response, signal levels, hum, carrier-to-noise (C/N) ratio, depth of modulation, and monitor the general performance of the cable system • Perform tests without interfering with CATV subscribers' service • Evaluate system performance precisely and diagnose and eliminate problems quickly to maintain quality operation of your CATV system equipment. Acterna’s Stealth Sweep System consists of at least two major components: a headend transmitter and a field receiver. The SDA Family: Introduction NOTE: One benefit of the SDA products is the increased sweep speed provided by the new SDA Stealth Sweep and SDA Transmit operating modes. FIELD UNIT (SDA-5000) The SDA field receivers conduct a battery of signal level measurements, including a full scan of the cable spectrum to 1 GHz, in addition to performing sweep reception. A proprietary digital signal processing (DSP) technique measures hum and carrier-to-noise (C/N) ratio on modulated carriers. The receivers are streamlined, hand-held instruments weighing approximately 7.5 pounds. A 320 X 240 backlighted dot matrix LCD shows measurement data in both graphical and numerical formats. An extended- life Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery (typically 4-5 hours operating time) is standard. Features of the SDA-5000 • • • • Fast scanning and spectrum analysis for ingress and noise detection (catch bursty noise as fast as 5 microseconds) A desired/undesired TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) digital carrier analysis allowing you to see the quality and performance of cable modems and digital set-top boxes in the reverse path Simple operation through the expanded and redesigned Navigator interface Built in pre-amp for reverse path alignment and analysis that reduces the jumper cables and assorted boxes you must carry and simplifies alignment methods. The pre-amp also allows you to better see ingress and noise from high value test points These features address advanced services such as Internet, IP telephony, digital video, QAM analysis, and DVB. Acterna offers current Stealth customers upgrade paths for units already purchased. Quickly find entry points for ingress and noise • • • • • Fast peak detection circuits see ingress from even transient noise sources Programmable dwell-time in spectrum mode “Dwell” on each frequency longer to find more of the noise more quickly Zero span offers infinite dwell Fast spectrum scanning makes searching for ingress interactive, eliminating the wait for the trace to ‘acquire’ The SDA Family: Field Unit (SDA-5000) FIELD UNIT (SDA-5000) The SDA field receivers conduct a battery of signal level measurements, including a full scan of the cable spectrum to 1 GHz, in addition to performing sweep reception.

An extended- life Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery (typically 4-5 hours operating time) is standard. Features of the SDA-5000 include: The SDA Family: Field Unit (SDA-5000) Observe noise signals clearly with the built-in pre-amp. Instead of needing to guess about a signal that is just above the noise floor, the built-in pre-amp allows you to clearly see and diagnose noise Easily see the difference between meter-induced intermodulation and system intermodulation and CPD (common path distortion). A built-in low-pass filter strips away higher power forward path signals to examine just the reverse path Save money, connections, and time. Carry just one box with all the tools needed to find ingress Pinpoint return path problems by analyzing digital return path signals at any point in the field •D/U (desired/undesired) measures signal quality in-service and in- channel when you’re examining TDMA signals See data packet collisions View relative transmission levels for all the transmitters present in a cascade See how heavy network traffic is in a given amplifier cascade Level measurements allow you to align both TDMA and continuous digital channels Align return path amps more quickly and with fewer errors Adjust return path amplifier tilt and gain Display injection levels and absolute headend signal levels Calculate system gain and tilt automatically Reliably measure reverse sweep and level with an improved test point compensation setup Compensate for test point loss in complex two-way amps using improved, informative displays The SDA-5000 field meter also offers interoperability with Acterna’s PathTrak Performance Monitoring System. Interoperability is an exciting feature that enables you to solve return path ingress problems more effectively. Node spectrum data received at the PathTrak System can be broadcast to the field unit, allowing you to compare local (field) spectrum The SDA Family: Headend Units (SDA-5500 and SDA-5510) measurements with remote (PathTrak System/headend) spectrum measurements. New Features and Benefits of the SDA-5000 Faster forward sweep with all signals, including 64/256 QAM carriers • QAM digital analysis (OPT4) Improved interoperation with StealthWare CW loopback Sweep loopback Efficient, practical, graphical test point compensation configuration.
