Performance tester up to 10 Gb/s for Copper & Fiber Optics
Copper | Qualification
The technology of data transmission via copper cables is far from being exhausted. However, the new technologies require a higher quality of cabling. In order to ensure that the existing cabling supports the higher data rates, appropriate tests must be carried out and documented before commissioning. In addition, existing networks must be qualified for the ability to upgrade. Tests up to 10Gbit/s are already possible in the environment of the latest generation of qualifiers, regardless of the cable category or junction boxes.
Whether troubleshooting, maintenance or servicing, the NetXpert XG2 performance tester is the ideal device for all network testing applications for installers, system integrators and industry.
Scope of Delivery (NetXpert XG2)
Whether troubleshooting, maintenance or servicing, the NetXpert XG2-PLUS performance tester is the ideal device for all network testing applications for installers, system integrators and industry for copper and fiber optic cabling.
To Certify or to Qualify?
Certifiers measure cabling against international cabling standards. Certifiers are commonly used for documentation of new enterprise and industrial cabling installations. Qualifiers test if cabling can transmit without errors a certain Ethernet speed. Qualifiers are often used either in smaller installations, in moves, adds and changes as well as for troubleshooting ethernet and PoE connections.
Special characteristics
Qualification test tools include the functions of verification tools, but go further in their capability. Designed specifically for a network technician, the key function of a qualification test tool is its capability to determine whether the cable under test can transmit or support the signaling of specific network technology. Qualification tools test the cabling to determine whether or not certain network technologies (e.g., 100BASE-TX, VOIP, Gigabit Ethernet) will perform on the cabling system.
For example, lets assume you have two cables of unknown capability. Both cable A and cable B pass the verification wiremap test. However, a qualification test may show that cable A is only capable of supporting 10BASE-T, while cable B is able to support Gigabit Ethernet.
A unique feature of these test tools is the ability to diagnose common cabling problems that may limit the cabling bandwidth a function that goes well beyond the basic continuity tests of verification tools.
Qualification tools are much more powerful than verification tools, and are designed to give even the most novice technician vision to see what speeds existing cabling can support and quickly isolate cabling from network problems. This means network techs can close trouble tickets faster and reduce on-call time. However, qualification tools do not perform certification required by cable manufacturers.
High data transmission rates on copper and fiber optic cabling of up to 10Gb/s Ethernet and new Power-over-Ethernet applications up to 90W lead to completely new challenges in the field of structured cabling. NetXpert XG2-PLUS offers comprehensive active and passive network testing up to 10Gb/s for qualification, commissioning and troubleshooting on copper and fiber cabling. With the largest touch display in its class, NetXpert XG2-PLUS guarantees easy operation and clear presentation of results. At the same time, NetXpert XG2-PLUS offers highest reliability of results due to the unique combination of up to four different test methods for the evaluation of copper links. For fiber optic cabling, the NetXpert XG2-PLUS offers an attenuation test in addition to the BERT test and, through LiveLight™, an attenuation trend display. For the inspection of fiber optic connectors there is the possibility to connect a video microscope.

Areas of Application
Fiber | Qualification
Fiber optic cables not only offer a high data throughput, they are also immune to eavesdropping and interference. Fibre optic cables can therefore easily be laid in parallel with other supply lines - electromagnetic interference does not occur. The disadvantage of fiber optic cabling, however, is the cost. They are more expensive than copper cables but have a considerably lower attenuation and are therefore suitable for long distances. But even for short distances in LANs, optical fibers are increasingly being installed nowadays. Especially for the measurement and documentation of optical networks, the necessary measurement technology must be of high quality and future-proof.
Ethernet | Qualification
The Ethernet protocol is the basis for the pass/fail statement of the qualification devices. By means of tests that are based around the Ethernet transmission system, such as the determination of the signal-to-noise ratio and the delay time between the wire pairs of a transmission path, followed by a Bit Error Rate Test (BERT), qualifiers make their decision about suitable for Ethernet traffic, such as error free or faulty transmission. In addition, there is troubleshooting tests as you already know from the high-quality wiring testers, such as acoustic cable viewfinders and simple link pulse generators to allow the link LEDs on the switches to flash. They then connect to the network, either via DHCP or fixed addressing. As soon as they are part of the active network, scan, ping and traceroute functions are available for commissioning and troubleshooting. Also important is the possibility to perform PoE load tests according to IEEE 802.3 af/at/bt to ensure the remote power supply of terminal devices.
