Overview

The DSX CableAnalyzer copper test solution enables testing and certification of twisted pair cabling for up to 10
Gigabit Ethernet deployments and will handle any cabling system whether it is a Cat 5e, 6, 6A or Class
FA. 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, there are a lot of things
that slow the process down – setting up the tester incorrectly, testing to the wrong limits, waiting for skilled
technicians to analyze and troubleshoot failures, misinterpretation of results, and producing test reports that
customers can not understand.

As part of the Versiv cabling certification product family, the DSX CableAnalyzer provides accurate, error-free
certification. In the installation business there are multiple teams, varying media types and multiple testing
requirements. The difference between profitability is just a few percentage points. The DSX certifies copper
cabling, complies with all standards including Level V 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 set-up, operation, test reporting, and simultaneously manage diverse projects.

 

Unique features:

  • Versiv enables users to accomplish more than ever with a cable tester, by accelerating every step of the testing
    process
  • ProjX management system eases tasks from initial set-up of a job to system acceptance. It eliminates redundant
    steps, and ensures that all tests are completed correctly the first time, and every time
  • Taptive user interface puts advanced data analysis and easy set-up and operation at the fingertips of of
    technicians of all skill levels
  • LinkWare management software provides unmatched analysis of test results and professional test reports
  • The DSX reduces the time required to fix cabling faults with Dedicated Diagnostics, a simple test that locates
    the problem

Performance:

  • Ten second Cat 6A test time contributes to the fastest way to gain certification
  • Graphically displays the source of failures including crosstalk and distance to shield faults for faster
    troubleshooting
  • Manage up to 12,000 test results with full graphics
  • Capacitive touchscreen allows quick tester setup with easily selectable cable types, standards and testing
    parameters
  • 1 billion links reported on LinkWare management software

 

Standards:

  • Compliant with proposed ISO (IEC WG9 Standard IEC61935-1) Level V accuracy requirements to 1000 MHz
  • Supports the complete suite of Resistance Unbalance standards needed for Power over Ethernet (PoE) – IEC61935-1
    & 11801-1-4, IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3at, ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-C.2
  • Next generation balance drafts – IEEE 802.3, TIA TR42.7
