Key Benefits
DSAM-6300
Digital Service Analysis Meter
To achieve service-differentiating quality and reliability, network maintenance
requires careful and consistent attention. While the broadband frequency response
test in both the forward path (downstream) and the return path (upstream) is a
core requirement of any cable network maintenance plan, maintaining cable net-
works requires more than sweep. The DSAM-6300 (Digital Services Analysis Meter)
combines best-in-class video, audio, and data test functions with the extremely
popular SDA sweep system’s downstream forward path and upstream return path
sweep functions in a rugged, multi-technology handheld that performs in the harsh-
est environments.
Because it uses powerful Stealth Sweep technology, the DSAM-6300 works with
existing Stealth Digital Analyzer (SDA) rack-mounted sweep gear (SDA-5500 and
SDA-5510) located at headend and hub sites. Additionally, DSAM-6300 meters
can sweep side-by-side with SDA-5000 meters. Therefore, major test infrastruc-
ture modifications are not required when DSAM-6300s are added to a department’s
meter pool.
• Improve workforce efficiency by letting technicians perform
complete maintenance and quality-verification tests on the
spot—one person with one instrument—including sweep,
digital video, analog video, DOCSIS®, VoIP tests, and more
• Streamline operations by managing and displaying sweep
files via the web and by immediately synchronizing data over
DOCSIS RF
• Minimize capital expenses—sweep is compatible with existing
JDSU Stealth Sweep™ systems, assuring non-interfering
forward- and reverse-sweep operations
• Improve technician competency with the Digital Quality
Index™ (DQI), an easy-to-understand, real-time indicator
that shows up to 90 seconds of digital quality history
• Stand up to rain, cold, heat, bumps, drops, and other
accidental mishaps with a rugged, lightweight design
