CTS 710

The ANSI standards for SONET specify requirements for the network element (ADM, multiplexers, terminals, etc.) interfaces. Installation, commissioning, maintenance and repair of the SONET network involves the challenge of testing to ANSI standards. The CTS 710 is ready for the challenge to assist with these and other testing needs. In one configurable, expandable and upgradable instrument you will find everything required to do your testing.

Configurable

The CTS 710 is a rugged portable test set designed not only for your current tasks; through its unique architecture, it will grow with you as SONET grows. When you require additional capabilities such as optical interfaces, jitter analysis, ATM testing, etc., you can add such functionality to your CTS 710. This upgradability is important due to evolving nature of the standards, test requirements and equipment capabilities.

The CTS 710 is part of a new generation of test sets combining various different functions in one instrument with the power to go beyond basic testing. The modular nature of the test set allows you to configure the instrument to your needs, without the cost of unwanted built-in capabilities. Starting with a low cost platform which addresses your basic SONET testing needs, you can expand its capabilities as desired with a growing number of options.

Easy to Use

The CTS 710 incorporates a number of new productivity features:

  • AutoScan - Graphically presents the incoming signal structure and allows easy instrument setup
  • Pass/Fail Testing - Automates following a written test procedure
  • TroubleScan - Highlights error, alarms and defects
  • Graphical Displays - For historical trend analysis
  • Online Help - For quick assistance with operation
  • Disk Drive - For easy storage of instrument setups, Pass/Fail Test and results

This instrument employs innovative hardware technology which reprograms itself, depending on the operational mode. Future demands regarding access and control of particular bytes are easily reprogrammed. Upgrades are distributed on disks.

"Because We take the time"... or why our shipping and handling charges are fair and reasonable but not necessarily cheap
1. The diverse and often heavy and fragile nature of the merchandise we sell requires custom packaging in almost every case. That means specially cut and fitted foam and resized or double boxes. Many items take more than an hour to pack properly.
2. We feel confident that virtually no one else selling on eBay provides safer packaging for comparable merchandise. That requires extra time, special care, and experience.
3. We clear customs, as required, and ship almost all of our items from the destination side of the US-Canada border for our US and Canadian customers. The time required to accomplish this is significant, as are trips to and queues at the post office for overseas shipments.

If you disagree, feel there is a mistake in the charges or wish to inquire about anything whatsoever related to this listing, please contact us before you commit to purchase.

Placing a bid or using Buy-it-Now indicates your acceptance of all terms and conditions outlined. So we may have an opportunity to address any concerns, we ask that you contact us before leaving non-positive general feedback or anything less than 5/5 in any detailed seller ratings category.
