We invite you to look ahead
and leverage the unique
capabilities of our WireXpert
Cable Certifier.
The revolutionary WireXpert
represents a new revenue
opportunity. Whether you
are a cable manufacturer,
installer or the end user, the
WireXpert delivers cable
certification and network
assurance that pays back
on every level.
Bandwidth-demanding applications require
higher performance cabling and connectivity 1 - 2500 MHz
To achieve optimum network performance, proper installation is
critical and must be verified with a tester capable of measuring
higher frequencies with the highest level of accuracy.
T he WireXpert has a revolutionary 1 - 2500 MHz frequency measurement range. It has
been fully qualified and approved by major cable and connectivity manufacturers. With
certification testing up to Category 8 copper cabling, as well as MPO, SM and MM fiber optic
cabling, the WireXpert is ready for 40G and beyond. In fact, major cable vendors are using
the WireXpert in their labs for qualifying Category 8 cabling systems under development. As
a result, it is the only instrument you need to certify cables for today, and well into the future.
Cable certifying is all about speed and accuracy. The WireXpert engine lets you
deliver an industry-leading test time of 9 seconds for Category 6A. WireXpert
employs a novel measurement architecture that achieves extremely wide bandwidth
with superior measurement accuracy. Its unique RF measurement engine exceeds
level IV and level V requirements throughout the measurement frequency range.
Cable installers make significant gain in productivity with WireXpert‘s industry leading test
speed and ease of use. The Dual Control System (DCS TM) – featuring identical devices
for remote and main units – reduces the amount of walking required between drops amd
makes it easy to operate by two technicians or only one to decrease labor costs. The
systems’ ReportXpert generates complete, ultra-professional documentation of all testing,
for installer and customers’ records. And, lets you re-certify to new standards as they are
approved, without having to revisit the site for additional testing. In addition, you have access
to evolving, easy-downloadable software updates and enhancements for your WireXpert.

Patch-Cord Testing
certification levels emerge.
WireXpert offers an efficient way for quickly identifying and
recording the performance of patch-cords. With its fast and
accurate dual-ended testing, WireXpert‘s patch-cord test kits are
suitable for both manufacturing testing, as well as for incoming
inspection at end user premises.

WireXpert patch-cord test kits are available for testing CAT5e,

CAT6, CAT6A, and CAT7/7A patch-cords.

Copper Patch-Cord Adapter Modules

Industrial Ethernet Testing

WireXpert‘s industrial Ethernet cabling test solution comprise of

M12 adapter kits. Both channel and permanent link configurations
with M12 industrial Ethernet connector are supported.

Industrial Ethernet kit with X-Coded M12 interface is also available,

making it possible to effectively test 10-Gig ready industrial
Ethernet cables.

Industrial Ethernet Cabling Adapter Modules

MPO/MTP Testing

WireXpert‘s versatile MPO testing solution enables data center

IT managers to get quick and accurate assessment of the quality
of MPO links. The 5-second Autotest includes a detection of fiber
connection map and measurement of loss on each channel. A
typical test setup consists of WireXpert local unit with MPO power
meter adapter, and the remote unit with MPO light source adapter
attached. Alternatively, a multimode fiber adapter can be attached
to WireXpert local unit for testing individual fibers in MPO link. This
solution provides a fast and accurate measurement of MPO link
loss and testing against user configured limit.
