DAQTron, Inc., Atlanta, the worldwide leader in DOCSIS test systems, has unveiled the industry’s first DOCSIS 3.0 RF Protocol Analyzer (DP-360) for functional analysis of the upstream and downstream of Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) 3.0 signals. Through heavy use of FPGA technology, the DP-360 features four independent downstream and four independent upstream tuners with complete flexibility of channel placement; independent, real-time, upstream and downstream channel filtering on DOCSIS message types and MAC addresses; and full support for four or more bonded channels.

“The DP-360 is the latest in a long line of DOCSIS RF protocol analyzers from DAQTron,” said Joseph Kovacs, vice president of Marketing for DAQTron. “The DP-360 is already in use by leading DOCSIS equipment and product certification companies and is speeding up the identification and location of trouble spots by providing visibility into all layers of the DOCSIS network. This will also greatly assist service providers in troubleshooting their HFC networks as they deploy DOCSIS 3.0 bonded channel equipment into their plants.”

As a service to its valued customers, DAQTron is now offering a trade-in allowance to all ST-260C (the predecessor to the DP-360) customers. The DP-360 supports all of the features of the ST-260C which includes DOCSIS 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, and now 3.0.
