Case Studies
Case Study 1: U.S, Ohio
A leading Ohio-based cable operator used our coaxial cable testers to validate installations during a broadband expansion rollout. The testers enabled field crews to quickly detect impedance mismatches and faulty connectors, reducing call-backs by 32% and accelerating deployment timelines.
Case Study 2: U.S, California
A major broadcast studio in Los Angeles relied on Network Test Experts’ coax testers to verify coax runs across multiple recording rooms. By using TDR-based testing, the engineering team identified and replaced problematic cables before final equipment commissioning, saving over $20,000 in potential delays.
Case Study 2: U.S, Ontario
A Toronto construction firm integrating coaxial CCTV systems into a high-rise residential complex partnered with Network Test Experts. Our testers helped validate over 400 camera line connections during installation, minimizing downtime during inspection and improving contractor satisfaction scores.
