Description
The High End Copper certifier up to 3000 MHz
The Softing WireXpert MP C8 is the flagship model of the WireXpert MP series, designed to meet the most demanding copper certification needs, from large data centers to industrial environments. Covering a frequency range from 100 kHz to 3000 MHz, it certifies cabling systems up to Cat 8 and beyond. Its modular design, future-proof performance, and innovative time-saving features like DocuCam™ and LinkTrack™ make it the ultimate tool for professional installers.
Detailed Description
The WireXpert MP C8 is engineered for high-end copper certification, delivering exceptional accuracy and speed. It includes advanced measurements for 8.2 connectivity, DCRU, TCL, as well as MPTL and E2E test modes. Fast test times and the unique InstantWiremap™ feature allow users to locate wiremap problems even before starting an autotest, dramatically increasing productivity. The ergonomically optimized devices feature the enhanced Dual Control System DCS+™, providing two identical large displays on both LOCAL and REMOTE units with a smartphone-like, responsive multi-touch interface. FlipTags™ offer flexible device labeling. Built-in DocuCam™ with flash simplifies cabling documentation by capturing on-site images, while LinkTrack™ streamlines link tracking by generating and scanning QR codes. Integrated project management and PDF reporting (with free PC software) ensure professional documentation. The platform is expandable with fiber optic modules for multimode and singlemode Tier 1 certification.
