When paired with the rugged, battery operated RxT™ productivity test platform the RxT SDH/SONET Module tests SDH, SONET, PDH and T-carrier, circuits from 2.5 Gbps to 1.544/2.048 Mbps and 155M/622M ATM Networks. Both in-service and out-of-service configurations cover installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting applications.

Auto-configuration takes the guesswork out of configuring the instrument to the circuit under test. Experienced users will appreciate advanced features like overhead monitoring and control, APS timing measurement, and pointer test sequences. All measurements conform to industry standards, and circuit impairments are displayed in a variety of ways, giving operators insight into the possible causes of circuit impairments.
