Hitron launches first-of-its-kind low cost DOCSIS signal sensor Hitron launches first-of-its-kind low cost DOCSIS signal sensor Hitron Technologies, the fastest growing DOCSIS customer premise equipment (CPE) manufacturer in North America, today announced the DSS-01 DOCSIS Coax Cable Tester, a low cost diagnostic tool designed to streamline self-installations. While cable service technicians have long carried professional signal meters, the DSS-01 is the industrys first signal tester priced and designed to be included with every subscriber self-installation package. A subscriber simply plugs the DSS-01 into a coaxial outlet and presses the button. Within ten seconds, the sensors LEDs will show whether the outlet is receiving a valid RF signal or not (as easy as ˜green is good, red is bad). This simple diagnostic will reduce the number of self-install support calls and unnecessary truck rolls.
