FLUKE DSX-8000

The Fluke DSX-8000 copper test solution enables testing and certification of twisted pair cabling for up to 40 Gigabit Ethernet deployments and will handle any cabling system, whether it is a Cat 5e, 6, 6A, 8 or Class FA and I/II. Certifying a cable is one part of a process that starts with system design and ends with system acceptance. The faster that process goes, the more profitable you’ll be.

Unfortunately, many things slow the process down – setting up the tester incorrectly, testing to the wrong limits, waiting for skilled technicians to analyse and troubleshoot failures, misinterpreting results and producing test reports that customers cannot understand. As part of the Versiv cabling certification product family, the DSX CableAnalyser Series provides accurate, error-free certification.

In the installation business, there are multiple teams, varying media types and multiple testing requirements. The difference between being profitable or not is just a few percentage points. The DSX certifies copper cabling and complies with all standards, including Level VI/2G accuracy, making jobs easier to manage and getting to system acceptance faster. It’s not just for the expert technicians and project managers. Individuals of various skill levels can improve the setup, operation, test reporting and simultaneously manage diverse projects.
