- Copper and fiber optic cable certification tester performs extended certification of high-speed networks to ISO and TIA Level III accuracy.
- Performs Category 6 autotest in 9 seconds and tests shielded and unshielded twisted pair LAN cabling (STP, FTP, SSTP, and UTP).
- Stores up to 250 qualification test results and downloads results to a computer for analysis and generation of network certification reports.
- Exceeds Level III accuracy at bandwidths up to 350 MHz that comply with industry standards including TIA, ISO/IEC, EN, ANSI, and IEEE.
- Talk features enable operators to communicate between the main and remote units.
The Fluke Networks DTX-1200 CableAnalyzer with smart remote
performs TIA Level III accuracy tests of copper cabling at
bandwidths up to 350 MHz that comply with industry standards
including TIA, ISO/IEC, EN, ANSI, and IEEE. The meter performs a
Category 6 autotest in 9 seconds. The meter includes one main
unit and one smart remote. The DTX accepts additional test
modules as network testing needs and requirements change,
including fiber and network service modules. The unit supports
coaxial adapters, custom limits, and talk between operators at
the main and remote units (headphones included). A wire test
can be performed to verify that cables are installed correctly.
The permanent link adapter provides repeatable accuracy and
Category 5e and Category 6 interoperability. The user-selected
test standard automatically determines the test parameters and
frequency range for the performed tests. Autotests can be started
from the main or remote unit. The fiber autotest performs a
dual-fiber, dual-wavelength certification test. The backlit,
passive color, LCD display has a diagonal measurement of 3.7
in/9.4 cm and a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels (W x H). Copper
and fiber testers are used by network technicians to
troubleshoot, maintain, and optimize performance of copper and
fiber optic cabling, hardware connections, and network settings
in enterprise networks.
The meter stores up to 250 sets of test results (graphical
Category 6), and can store up to 2,000 Category 6 graphical link
test results on a separately purchased 128 MB multimedia card
(MMC). An autosave function ensures that test results are
captured and saved. Results can be downloaded to a computer for
long-term records retention, or imported to the LinkWare software
for analysis and generation of certification reports to provide
evidence that the installation has been completed according to
standards and best practices (software and USB cable included).

A copper cable tester is a device for troubleshooting,
inspecting, and certifying copper network cabling. Devices range
from one-button tools for checking connectivity to complex tools
for certifying network installations. Three types of testing
include: (1) Verification---test whether a connection or cable is
functioning correctly; (2) Qualification---test a network's
ability to support specific speeds and functionality; and (3)
Certification---verify whether a network installation meets
industry standards. Cabling contractors, installers, and network
technicians use copper cable testers to set up and maintain
networks within a building or on a campus in corporate, academic,
manufacturing, and other enterprise network environments.
Fluke Networks manufactures tools for network infrastructure
installation, testing, certification, and troubleshooting, in
copper, fiber, and wireless networks, with its tools widely used
by contractors, enterprises, and communication service providers.
The company, which operates globally, is based in Everett, WA.
