The Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer is the copper cable certification module for the Fluke Versiv family, certifying twisted pair cabling for up to Cat 8 / 2GHz as part of up to 40 Gigabit Ethernet deployments. Fluke Networks DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzers certify Cat 6a cabling in 8 seconds and complete certification at industry-leading speeds for any cabling system, including Cat 5e, 6, 6A, 8, or Class FA and I/II cables.
Fluke DSX2-8000 Unique Features
The Fluke DSX2-8000 certifiers speed up every part of the certification process, including test setup, improved interface guiding test limits, and easier operation for analyzing and troubleshooting failures without misinterpreting results. The LinkWare software allows users to manage their tests remotely from a PC, and the ProjX management software simplifies every step of certification from setup to acceptance, skipping over redundant steps and ensuring tests are performed correctly every time. The modular design of the Versiv allows for fiber optic loss tests, OTDR testing, and end-face inspection as well.
Features
- Versiv modular design supports copper certification, fiber optic loss, OTDR testing and fiber end-face inspection
- Unmatched speed for Cat 6A, 8, Class FA, I/II and all current standards
- ProjX system manages job requirements and progress from set-up to systems acceptance, making sure all tests are completed correctly
- Taptive user interface simplifies set-up, and eliminates errors
- Analyze test results and create professional test reports using LinkWare management software
- Graphically displays the source of failures including crosstalk, return loss and shield faults for faster troubleshooting
- Intertek Verified to TIA Level 2G – the most stringent accuracy requirement
- Copper cable certifiers endorsed by cabling vendors worldwide
- Built in Alien Crosstalk testing capability
- Compatible with Linkware Live - Linkware Live enables to easily track job progress, get real-time access to test results to quickly fix problems in the field, and easily transfer and consolidate test results from the tester to LinkWare PC Cable Test Management Software
