TraceSpan Eyes 16 DOCSIS Channels

TraceSpan Communications has introduced a DOCSIS 3.0 multi-layer analyzer designed to support 16 bonded downstream channels. The D-CABLE Xpert 5300 is a protocol analyzer intended to provide visibility into the DOCSIS network and equipment, including network topology as well as analysis for troubleshooting of DOCSIS product performance, standard compliance and interoperability. The modular and scalable analyzer is designed to support bonding profiles of up to 16x4, with options to expand to higher bonding profiles in future releases.D-CABLE Xpert is designed to capture and analyze the signals without using any DOCSIS chipset and with no effect on the data transfer between the CMTS and the modems. It features multi-layer probing capability for DOCSIS 3.0 PHY and MAC layer analysis from multiple upstream and downstream bonded channels simultaneously.
