Cable signal leakage is an open invitation to cause disruption for customers and operators alike. For customers, signal leakage can cause negative experiences with online and voice services, poor picture quality and image freezing. This will undoubtedly lead to customer complaints and result in long hours of troubleshooting and high operational costs.

But there are bigger issues for operators than customer complaints that make monitoring and containing signal leakage critical. For operators, the most serious issue is the increased liability due to aeronautical interference.

Avoiding any trace of signal leakage keeps customers satisfied, keeps operational costs low, and keeps the world safe.

Interference caused by leakage beyond the FCC’s acceptable threshold standard must be controlled. You can control it by first detecting signal leakage and then monitoring levels. The usual cause for signal leakage is loose fittings, broken cables, or old and poorly connected fittings.

Ensuring that homes are tight can pay huge dividends for cable operators in improved service quality and reduced operational costs. To do it right, you need the right tools.
