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.

Applications

The WireXpert MP C8 is the ideal tool for:

  • Data Center Certification: Perfect for certifying high-speed links up to Cat 8 / Class I & II in large-scale data centers.
  • Enterprise & Office Cabling: Qualified for certifying all common copper classes in premise and office environments.
  • Industrial Installations: Suitable for specialized cable testing in harsh environments like trains, ships, and wind mills.
  • Patchcord & Wire Harness Testing: Ideal for manufacturing and quality assurance of patch cords and complex wire harnesses.
  • Single Pair Ethernet (SPE): Capable of handling measurements for emerging SPE applications.

 

Advantages

  • Industry-Leading Range: Certifies up to Cat 8 and beyond with a frequency range of 100 kHz to 3000 MHz, protecting your investment for years.
  • Unmatched Productivity: InstantWiremap™ finds wiring faults instantly, and fast autotest times enable completing jobs in minimum time.
  • Innovative Documentation: Integrated DocuCam™ with flash and LinkTrack™ QR code system streamline on-site documentation and link tracking.
  • Superior Ergonomics: DCS+™ with two large landscape displays, dual autotest buttons for left/right-handed users, and FlipTags™ for flexible labeling.
  • Cost-Effective Ownership: Replaceable and cost-effective LongLife™ measuring cables reduce long-term operational costs.
  • Modular & Expandable: Flexible modular platform that can be expanded with fiber optic modules when needed, including multimode and singlemode Tier 1 certification.
