All standards certifier WireXpert 4500

Cable Certifier up to 2500 MHz (Class D/E/EA/F/FA, Cat 5/5e/6/6A/7/7A)

Description

Detailed Description

The WireXpert 4500 sets the benchmark for high-performance cable certification. Engineered with reliability and user experience in mind, this rugged device features the innovative Dual Control System – DCS™, providing identical high-resolution color LCD screens on both the LOCAL and REMOTE units for efficient, one-person operation. Its future-proof technology safeguards your investment by supporting flexible adaptation to evolving cabling standards through a wide range of optional adapters. Whether certifying complex Category 8 copper links or advanced fiber optic installations, the WireXpert 4500 delivers laboratory-grade accuracy and professional documentation.

Applications

The WireXpert 4500 is the ideal tool for:

  • Data Center Installation & Certification: Perfect for certifying high-speed data center links, including Cat 8 / Class I & II cabling designed for 25/40 GbE.
  • Enterprise Network Cabling: Qualified for certifying all common classes from Class D/EA to Cat 7A.
  • Converged Network Deployments: Its ability to test both copper and fiber (multimode and singlemode) makes it a single-tool solution for mixed-media infrastructures.
  • Industrial Ethernet: Can be adapted to certify specialized cabling types like Industrial Ethernet, M12-D-coded, and X-coded links.
  • Network Maintenance & Troubleshooting: Ideal for ensuring new installations meet stringent TIA/ISO standards.

 

Advantages

  • Industry-Leading Range: Certifies the widest scope of standards, from Cat 5e through to Cat 8 and Class I & II, covering all your current and future needs.
  • Verified Accuracy: Meets and exceeds ISO Level VI and TIA Level 2G accuracy requirements, with independent verification by ETL, ensuring confidence in every test result.
  • Integrated Fiber Certification: Supports advanced certification for optical fibers at 850/1300nm (multimode) and 1310/1550nm (singlemode), eliminating the need for a separate tester.
  • Intuitive Dual Control System (DCS™): Two identical screens on the main and remote units dramatically speed up testing and simplify troubleshooting.
  • Field-Upgradeable: Designed to grow with your needs, the device can be upgraded in the field with new adapters for emerging standards like coax, Class I/II, and fiber microscopy.
  • Comprehensive Reporting: Includes eXport reporting software for generating professional, clear, and customizable certification reports.
