Supports New ITU-T O.172 Conformance Test Set

The CTS850 is a versatile analyzer for Broadband Network Testing. It has a powerful, yet uncomplicated, menu structure which allows both the novice and expert user to accurately configure measurements on SDH and PDH networks very quickly. All measurement connections are conveniently located directly on the front panel close to the signal status LEDs and easy-to-read display.

A field-interchangeable optical module and a floppy disk drive for retrieval of stored setups and results complete the front-panel layout to create a "field-friendly" instrument.
