"Made in USA" Now Designated on Product Details Pages Online

You can now see when a Suttle product is made in the USA by the newly added designation on the product details page of a product. Check out this example link to see for yourself.

HomePNA™ Coax Managed Ethernet Bridge Master

The Suttle HomePNAT Coax Ethernet Managed Bridge Master enables service providers to offer triple-play services in an MDU by utilizing the existing coax infrastructure. The CEM-2CMA device allows for the remote management of subscriber networks to administrate individualized service levels as well as minimize installation and support costs. It can also control up to 61 endpoints
(CES-2CMA) each isolated with a secure connection to the master.

HomePNA™ Coax Managed Ethernet Bridge Endpoint

The Suttle Coax Ethernet Managed Bridge Endpoint enables service providers to offer triple-play services in an MDU by utilizing the existing coax infrastructure. The CES-2CMA device is remotely managed through the
CEM-2CMA bridge master, to allow the service provider to administrate individualized service levels as well as minimize installation and support costs. Each bridge endpoint connection is isolated and only accessible via the headend bridge master (CEM-2CMA).

Cabling Pointers for HomePNA™ Installations

Due to the frequency sensitivity of the HomePNA signal there are a few things that should be considered when training technicians installing HomePNA over coax.

• Compression connectors are a must. Crimp connectors can damage the dielectric and have an uncontrolled connection to the shielding.
  (Side Note: Suttle TWiN Lock™ and SURE Lock™ connectors are 360° compression connectors that maintain complete contact with the cabling.)
• Make sure the dielectric of the coax is flush with the inner base of the compression connector (not protruding or recessed in relation with the inner base). This helps guarantee a solid connection.
• Use resistive splitters instead of standard type splitters whenever possible. With standard coax splitters, the port isolation is too high. If your only option on an install is to use a standard splitter the input must be left open (unconnected).
• Test, Test, Test - Insufficient testing is one of the leading causes of reported problems and often leads to excessive modification to home wiring, which is time consuming. Changing a connectors only takes a minute, but changing a cable can take an hour. A lack of testing leads to uncertainty and over time, creates a preference for un-necessary re-wiring.
