The Fluke DSX-8000 Cable Analyzer copper test solution features an 8 second Cat 6a / Class EA test time and 16 second Cat 8 / Class I/II test time and 12,000 Cat 6A internal memory with plots. This unit certifies twisted pair Cat 5e, 6, 6A, Cat 8 and Class I/II cabling with limits up to 2 GHz. The Fluke DSX-8000 reduces overall certification costs by up to 2/3, adding up to 10% to the bottom line of every job. While the fast test time plays a part, the system’s true strength is its ground-up design, reducing errors and streamlining certification. Full integration with the LinkWare Live cloud service lets the Project Manager remotely set up the testers, monitor job progress and even locate the tester from any smart device.
Fluke Networks’ new cabling certification system is designed to save you time and money in every phase of the cable testing job and to get to systems acceptance faster. The ProjX™ management system makes setup easy and foolproof. Enter the testing details into your Fluke DSX-8000 Cable Analyzer only once. Your techs are given the choice of only the correct tests for that job – especially valuable when the tester moves from job to job.
DSX models allow users to enter data many times faster through a modern smartphone interface instead of hunting and pecking with the DSX’s arrow keys. The Versiv’s Smart Loop™ feature lets you perform an OTDR test on two fibers at once and even allows bi-directional testing without moving the tester to the other end. The DSX can store up to 12,000 test results internally and up to 64GB on handy memory sticks.
The Fluke DSX-8000 Cable Analyzer is the second model in the
Fluke DSX Cable Analyzer Series.
