Product Information

We are an ISO 9001 certified company and follow industry best practices to ensure every product meets our meticulous quality standards. Hitron brings over 30 years of expertise to your home by designing and manufacturing innovative technology. Waterlogged coax will produce altered electrical characteristics which may render them useless or make them weird in some way.

With a multimeter, you'll be able to check for continuity and see how much current it has (or doesn't). Inspect Physical Connections: Check all connectors, cables, and equipment for any visible damage, loose connections, or signs of water ingress.Hitron products are trusted by North America’s most-respected Cable Internet Service Providers, including Comcast and Charter Communications. Accurate coaxial cable testing is vital for ensuring optimal performance and reliability in various industries that rely on these cables. By testing the cables, you can identify sections that have higher losses, allowing for timely replacements or repairs.

The flagship VDV II Pro cable verifier utilises TDR to accurately measure cable length and provide distance to fault information. A coax cable tester is used to test your coax outlets and cables for connectivity from your Cable Internet provider.

Signal Loss: Over longer cable runs, coaxial cables can experience signal loss, resulting in poor transmission quality. Perfect for homeowners, renters, cable installers, or field technicians who need a quick and accurate test to verify active coax outlets or wiring. Before moving on to more advanced testing methods, a visual inspection and continuity test can provide valuable insights into the overall state of the coaxial cable. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.

Hitron uses some analytics, targeting and advertising cookies provided by third parties, but Hitron does not collect Personally Identifiable Information (PII). It is particularly useful when testing coaxial cables for their ability to handle high-power signals. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. It measures amplitude, phase, and frequency properties to analyze the performance characteristics of the cable.

So, the next time you experience glitches in internet speed or problems with image quality, give your cables a thorough inspection to ensure they are working correctly. The tester and remote unit are designed for a quick and easy continuity test of patch cables or installed cables in a network.

Hitron Americas is a leading provider of DOCSIS test equipment for Cable Operators, Internet Service Providers and Carriers. An innovative cable tester for faults such as open, shorted and crossed pairs, (core/core or core/shield) connectors, presented by RS PRO. Individual LED displays for each modular cable RJ45 and coaxial BNC connection indicate any open or short wiring. Regular testing can detect and resolve issues before they escalate, saving time, effort, and cost in the long run.PO Box, Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan Republic, Bahrain, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, British Virgin Islands, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Cameroon, China, Colombia, Cook Islands, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Fiji, France, French Guiana, French Polynesia, Georgia, Germany, Ghana, Gibraltar, Greenland, Guadeloupe, Guam, Guatemala, Guernsey, Honduras, Hong Kong, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Jamaica, Jersey, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kuwait, Lebanon, Macedonia, Malawi, Maldives, Martinique, Mauritius, Mayotte, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, New Caledonia, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Oman, Palau, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, Qatar, Reunion, Russian Federation, Rwanda, Saint Lucia, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Senegal, Serbia, Seychelles, Sri Lanka, Suriname, Taiwan, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey, Uganda, Ukraine, United States, Uruguay, Vanuatu, Venezuela, Virgin Islands (U. Interference Mitigation: Coaxial cables can be vulnerable to interference from nearby electrical equipment or radio frequency (RF) signals. PATENT-PENDING TECHNOLOGY scans a specific range of frequencies to accurately detect valid Cable Broadband signals. The available color-coded remotes (sold separately) allow for up to four cables to be tested and mapped, displaying cable status via LED indicators - PASS, OPEN, or SHORT - that also identify the cable/remote location. From simple visual inspections to advanced tools like cable signal analyzers, TDRs, and spectrum analyzers, each testing method offers unique advantages in evaluating different aspects of signal quality.
