The WST HYBRID CABLE CHECKER set consists of an SMPTE measuring unit and an SMPTE loopback. The hybrid cable checker is designed for testing optical power level in optical fibers and the continuity of copper pairs in hybrid cables. It combines an optical light source, optical detector, and copper wires checker.
It is ideal for testing large spaces of the SMPTE Hybrid System for Broadcast Infrastructure Networks. The ruggedised aluminium case makes the unit ideal for field operation. The Lithium rechargeable battery ensures long term working with minimum operating costs.
