Looking for a leakage detector? Trilithic is offering a pretty good option, the Seeker CATV leakage detector. It’s designed for in-the-field cable TV leak locating and troubleshooting, and according to company officials is designed to be a high performance, frequency-settable leakage detector ideal for drive-outs and leak location and troubleshooting.

It has a large numerical measurement display, provides sensitive, stable measurements, is channel tag (News - Alert) compatible and can be used for data storage and upload for documentation.

In the words of company officials, “The New Seeker Leakage Detector is specifically designed for efficient distribution leakage management, displaying numerical measurements of leaks on up to ten selectable channels and emitting a tone proportional to leak strength.”

Another advantage is that it’s mobile or handheld, may be used in its mobile mount (included) for drive outs, or removed from the mount for leakage troubleshooting on foot with a rubber duck, or optional dipole.

The product is engineered to provide stable, repeatable readings, multi-frequency operation and leakage recording simplify leak location and documentation.

And it offers comprehensive coverage, it’s durable, simple to use and cost-effective, so what’s not to like?

Earlier this year TMC’s (News - Alert) Susan J. Campbell wrote that as much as we have come to rely on technology at home and in the workplace, we have also heightened our expectations on how any and all technology platforms should perform. Providers have high standards to meet in order to maintain a competitive edge, and when these expectations are combined with available communication channels, there is no limit to the results that can be achieved.  

Trilithic, Campbell wrote, is a provider in the communication test equipment space, offering robust solutions that enable optimal performance across any network. The company’s VTF series of frequency hopping filters are designed to offer the user the capability of turning over multiple octave ranges while also maintaining extremely tight tolerances on performance. When performance is optimized, the network and supported communications continue as expected.
