Spec Sheet

The DSX CableAnalyzer Series 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. 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 cannot understand.

As part of the Versiv cabling certification product family, the DSX CableAnalyzer 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, 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 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
LinkWare Live cloud service lets the Project Manager remotely set up the testers, monitor job progress and even locate tester from any smart device
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 technicians of all skill levels
LinkWare PC 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:

Eight 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 Cat 6A test results with full graphics
Capacitive touchscreen allows quick tester setup with easily selectable cable types, standards and testing parameters
Over 1 billion links reported on LinkWare PC management software
