JFW Industries Launches 32-Attenuator Assembly for Automated CATV Device Testing

JFW Industries has introduced the latest innovation for CATV device testing: the 75PA-131 F Attenuator Assembly, a state-of-the-art, 75-ohm test system designed to meet the demands of precise, high-frequency testing. Operating from DC to 1218 MHz, this assembly features 32 individually controlled step attenuators, allowing testers to achieve highly granular control over attenuation, adjustable from 0 to 95.5 dB in 0.5 dB increments.

The assembly is especially suited for complex CATV testing applications and comes in a 19-inch rack-mountable chassis. Each attenuator is equipped with dual F-type female connectors, totaling 64 ports on the rear panel, facilitating easy integration into existing test setups. This modular design ensures seamless scalability and flexibility for laboratory and industrial applications alike.

Key Features for Enhanced Testing Flexibility

The 75PA-131 F is engineered for both Ethernet and Serial remote control, granting users the option to manage the attenuators directly through networked systems. Additionally, the front panel keypad provides a manual control interface, simplifying network settings configuration and manual testing operations. The assembly also supports block formation, where groups of attenuators can be controlled simultaneously, a feature particularly useful for large-scale testing environments.

Key Specifications:

  • Attenuation Range: 0-95.5 dB with 0.5 dB steps
  • Frequency Range: DC-1218 MHz
  • Control Interfaces: Ethernet/Serial remote control, front-panel keypad
  • Connector Type: F-type female connectors (64 total ports)
  • Chassis: 19-inch rack-mountable, compact and robust
  • Impedance: 75 Ohm
