T5300 In Stock

The Spirent T5300 is a Tech-X Flex NG2 device that offers a range of features for efficient networking setup and troubleshooting. This device incorporates common circuitry compatible with all WiFi protocols, resulting in a unified menu item for all Wi-Fi connections. Moreover, it includes circuitry specifically designed to support Wi-Fi Spectrum Analysis, which enables users to visualize power levels across the Wi-Fi spectrum within a defined frequency range. Functioning similarly to a typical spectral analyzer, the T5300 assists in identifying excessive activity in the Wi-Fi spectrum, aiding in the selection of optimal channels for connectivity in cases of poor Wi-Fi quality.

Designed with the intention of assisting in the setup and troubleshooting of home networks, the T5300 proves particularly useful for broadband services delivered via high-speed DSL, cable, and fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) architectures. Serving as a compact and versatile residential service tester, it caters to technicians who increasingly find themselves tasked with addressing networking issues within or near residential premises. This device allows for the isolation of problems on either the provider or subscriber sides of the network. By emulating various devices within a home network, such as a home computer, the T5300 can effectively perform tests to identify problem areas.

Beyond its primary functions, the T5300 offers an array of additional connectivity-related capabilities and statistics-gathering features. By utilizing detachable modules, the device can be expanded to support various protocols and devices. One such module is the MoCA/RF module, which facilitates in-home RF measurements and MoCA network testing. The T5300 also conducts Ethernet and IP connectivity tests via its 10/100/1G interface, allowing for seamless integration with Ethernet networks through standard transport devices like home routers, hubs, or Ethernet switches. Once connected, the device can join an IP network and conduct tests such as ping, traceroute, and internet web page access.

The T5300 is equipped with a Wi-Fi interface that enables Wi-Fi testing. Supporting 802.11 protocols, including WEP and WPA security, this interface facilitates synchronization with wireless devices. Similar to Ethernet testing, the Wi-Fi interface allows users to join a wireless network and perform IP-based testing to ensure connectivity and identify problem areas. Additionally, it enables the device to join video streams, measure video quality, and monitor channel changes over time, effectively emulating a set-top box (STB). By passively monitoring video communications between a home router and an actual STB, even while the video is being displayed on a TV, the T5300 provides comprehensive IP video analysis and quality evaluation.
