Entry level certifier WireXpert MP C6A

WireXpert mainframe with 600 MHz copper test module for Cat6A, Cat7 ans also Single Pair cabling testing.

Description

Modular entry level copper certification
The Softing WireXpert MP C6A is the full-featured entry-level solution in the modular WireXpert MP series, designed for copper certification up to Cat 6A and Single Pair Ethernet (SPE). Covering a frequency range from 100 kHz to 600 MHz, it is the only certifier in its class capable of testing 600 MHz SPE cabling. With an intuitive user interface, advanced ergonomics, and innovative time-saving features, it is the perfect companion for office and industrial installations, with a clear software upgrade path to 3000 MHz.

Detailed Description

The WireXpert MP C6A is engineered to meet the diverse certification needs of modern networking environments. It comes equipped with modern test options like DCRU and TCL, ensuring accurate and reliable measurements. The device features the advanced Dual Control System DCS+™, providing two identical large, responsive multi-touch screens on both LOCAL and REMOTE units for a smartphone-like user experience. Ergonomically optimized with two AUTOTEST buttons for left- and right-handed users and FlipTags™ for flexible local/remote identification, it is a pleasure to use daily. Productivity is further enhanced by InstantWiremap™, which locates wiremap problems before an autotest is started, and by replaceable, cost-effective LongLife™ measuring cables. Built-in DocuCam™ with flash simplifies on-site cabling documentation, while LinkTrack™ streamlines link tracking via QR code generation and scanning. Integrated project management and PDF reporting (with free PC software) ensure professional documentation.
