ProjX Management System Manages Complex Jobs with Ease.

Manage up to 12,000 Cat 6A Test results with full graphics

Managing the testing of multiple jobs with multiple teams, testers, and requirements is time consuming and a source of errors. Increasingly larger jobs make project organization more important than ever.

The new ProjX management system on the DSX CableAnalyzer Series copper cable certifiers provides individual project files for all job specific details to be saved under a simple name, eliminating the need to re-enter job specific details after starting a project.

This minimizes set-up errors or lost files when switching from one job to another or utilizing multiple testers on a single job. In addition, it provides test results by cable ID, merges any changes without duplicates and defaults to the last copper or fiber module installed.

ProjX management system provides real time status to completion on each job with a 0-100% scale and gives the operator the option to isolate any test requiring a second look and helps to assure nothing is overlooked.

The "Fix Later" selection creates a punch list or automatic to do list for correcting any workmanship issues.

ProjX enables project managers and crew leaders to be truly efficient.

Taptive User Interface Simplifies Set Up, Eliminates Errors and Speeds Troubleshooting

Capacitive touchscreen allows quick tester setup and supports all standards

Taptive user interface is easy enough for even the newest technician to perform tests across multiple media types and testing requirements.

The capacitive Taptive user interface makes all jobs easily accessible from the menu screen.

Touch the job you’re working on and the large display confirms the test that needs to be performed, animated instructions simplify setting the configuration making correct testing assured.

Leveraging the popular and multi-featured LinkWare PC management software application, DSX CableAnalyzer Series users can easily access the ProjX management system data, generate reports, and upgrade the software in their testers.

Project Managers have full capabilities to manage workflow and consolidate test results.

Users can provide the finishing touch by adding their company logo to the report and offer it unaltered to their customers for system acceptance purposes.

Keep your business tools simple, no matter which Fluke Networks copper or fiber tester you are using, LinkWare PC is the software package that reports it all.

LinkWare Live is a cloud-based service that lets you manage certification jobs anytime, anywhere, with anyone on any device.

With LinkWare Live, you can:

Keep track of every test on every job.  Get an overview of every project from any smart device.

Drill down to each individual test. Instantly receive notification of incorrect test setting or cable IDs.

Get it right the first time. Define cable IDs and test settings from your PC or tablet.

Then send them to the testers or Brother printers at the jobsite for mistake-free testing and labeling.

Keep your testers up to date. Standards can change without notice, and an out-of-date test report can mean hours of re-testing.

LinkWare Live automatically ensures your testers are running the latest.

Stop wasting time and gas driving testers back to the office.

Integrated Wi-Fi allows you to upload your test results straight from the job site to LinkWare Live.

Then download them automatically to the right job for fast report generation with LinkWare PC.

Avoid Project Delays. Track the last used location and monitor the status of all testers to ensure they are always calibrated and running the latest firmware.

Supports all Versiv models: DSX CableAnalyzer Series, CertiFiber Pro, OptiFiber Pro, and the FI-7000.

Electrically centered plug design is compliant with TIA Level 2G and IEC Level VI accuracy requirements to 2000 MHz with a future-ready design to support all hardware upgrades.

The DSX CableAnalyzer Series enables cable testing and certification for network deployments up to 40 Gigabit Ethernet – whether it is an existing Cat 5e, 6, 6A, 8 or Class I/II cabling system, the DSX tests to all industry standards.

The electrically centered test plug results in the Level 2G/VI accuracy required to support field testing to Cat 8 / Class I/II, 2000 MHz. The DSX exceeds the IEC Level VI and TIA Level 2G specifications assuring you of higher confidence in results over the full frequency range.

Higher performance cabling systems like Cat 8 require more precise measurement to ensure they are providing the noise immunity required by 25G and 40G applications.

Additionally, complex Alien Crosstalk link-to-link certification is simplified by integrating the measurement capability into each copper module up to 40GBASE-T testing.

The DSX is the first field tester to support balance measurements including Transverse Conversion Loss (TCL) and Equal Level Transverse Conversion Transfer Loss (ELTCTL).

TCL and ELTCTL are important measurements found in the cabling standards.

They define a minimum performance for balance, a key parameter to help determine noise immunity.

Industrial network owners/operators are especially interested in this property due to the higher level of electromagnetic interference (EMI) within the industrial environment.

Eight second Cat 6A test time and the fastest way to submit your certification results.

No tester offers so much speed for so many tests.

Complete copper certification to Cat 6A in 8 seconds or certify two fibers at two wavelengths in just 3 seconds.

Endorsements by cabling vendors worldwide assure that Versiv is the fastest way to project completion and system acceptance.

Quickly get a Pass or Fail result and easily review individual test parameters by value or drill into specific area on a graph.

Graphically displays the source of failures including crosstalk and distance to shield faults for faster troubleshooting.

The DSX reduces the time required to fix cabling faults with dedicated diagnostics, a simple 1 button test runs all tests and saves all data.

The graphical results screen allows you to look down the cable to see exactly where any cross talk, return loss or shield faults are located on any given link.

Previous testers had frequency limits of their diagnostic capabilities of up to 250 MHz only, but the DSX CableAnalyzer Series removes this limitation.

This common view is easily interpreted by novice and expert users alike to isolate and act on any failed results quickly and is stored with the test result for remote analysis.
