Versiv platform is ready for today's and tomorrow's jobs
Electrically centered plug design is compliant with TIA Level 2G and IEC Level VI accuracy requirements to 2000 MHz with a future-ready design to support all hardware upgrades. Enables cable testing and certification for network deployments up to 40 Gigabit Ethernet – whether it is an existing CAT 5e, 6, 6A, 8 or Class I/II cabling system, tests to all industry standards. The electrically centered test plug results in the Level 2G/VI accuracy required to support field testing to CAT 8 / Class I/II, 2000 MHz. Exceeds the IEC Level VI and TIA Level 2G specifications assuring you of higher confidence in results over the full frequency range. Higher performance cabling systems like CAT 8 require more precise measurement to ensure they are providing the noise immunity required by 25G and 40G applications. Additionally, complex Alien Crosstalk link-to-link certification is simplified by integrating the measurement capability into each copper module up to 40GBASE-T testing. The first field tester to support balance measurements including Transverse Conversion Loss (TCL) and Equal Level Transverse Conversion Transfer Loss (ELTCTL). TCL and ELTCTL are important measurements found in the cabling standards. They define a minimum performance for balance, a key parameter to help determine noise immunity. Industrial network owners/operators are especially interested in this property due to the higher level of electromagnetic interference (EMI) within the industrial environment. The Unit has obtained Intertek (ETL) verification in accordance with the ANSI/TIA-1152-A specification for Level 2G test equipment.
ProjX management system manages complex jobs with ease
Manage up to 12,000 CAT 6A test results with full graphics. Managing the testing of multiple jobs with multiple teams, testers, and requirements is time consuming and a source of errors. Increasingly larger jobs make project organization more important than ever. The ProjX management system on the unit provides individual project files for all job specific details to be saved under a simple name, eliminating the need to re-enter job specific details after starting a project. This minimizes set-up errors or lost files when switching from one job to another or utilizing multiple testers on a single job. In addition, it provides test results by cable ID, merges any changes without duplicates and defaults to the last copper or fiber module installed. ProjX management system provides real time status to completion on each job with a 0 to 100% scale and gives the operator the option to isolate any test requiring a second look and helps to assure nothing is overlooked. The "Fix Later" selection creates a punch list or automatic to do list for correcting any workmanship issues. ProjX enables project managers and crew leaders to be truly efficient.
Taptive user interface simplifies set up, eliminates errors and speeds troubleshooting
Capacitive touchscreen allows quick tester setup and supports all standards. Taptive user interface is easy enough for even the newest technician to perform tests across multiple media types and testing requirements. The capacitive Taptive user interface makes all jobs easily accessible from the menu screen. Touch the job you’re working on and the large display confirms the test that needs to be performed, animated instructions simplify setting the configuration making correct testing assured.
Performs with unsurpassed speed
Eight second CAT 6A test time and the fastest way to submit your certification results. No tester offers so much speed for so many tests. Complete copper certification to CAT 6A in eight seconds or certify two fibers at two wavelengths in just three seconds. Endorsements by cabling vendors worldwide assure that Versiv is the fastest way to project completion and system acceptance. Quickly get a Pass or Fail result and easily review individual test parameters by value or drill into specific area on a graph.
Troubleshoot like an expert
Graphically displays the source of failures including crosstalk and distance to shield faults for faster troubleshooting. Reduces the time required to fix cabling faults with dedicated diagnostics, a simple one button test runs all tests and saves all data. The graphical results screen allows you to look down the cable to see exactly where any cross talk, return loss or shield faults are located on any given link. Previous testers had frequency limits of their diagnostic capabilities of up to 250 MHz only, but the unit removes this limitation. This common view is easily interpreted by novice and expert users alike to isolate and act on any failed results quickly and is stored with the test result for remote analysis.
MPTL certification
There may be scenarios where a typical four-connector channel is not used when connecting these types of devices - especially those that reside in the ceiling space where it is impractical to install a faceplate. Instead, there is just one patch cord in the telecommunications room and the permanent link is terminated at the other end with a plug so it can plug directly into the device, essentially eliminating the equipment cord. This creates what is now known as a Modular Plug Terminated Link, or MPTL. The unit is capable of certifying MPTL by using a patch cord adapter on one end and a permanent link on the opposite end. The patch cord adapters support Category 5e, 6, and 6A performance levels. The latest version of the Versiv/DSX firmware is required to use the MPTL testing limits. Shield continuity historically is a direct current (DC) measurement with no distance to fault available. Other testers run a simple resistance test to verify that the shield has continuity. These tests have been shown to be inaccurate, sometime confusing a ground path as shield continuity and not correctly identifying a break in the shield. Other testers may tell you there is a break in a shield, but not pinpoint the exact location giving no indication of where to start rework. The unit is the first field tester to report distance to any shield integrity issues, reporting the true status of the screen continuity. This is especially important in datacenters and CAT 8 installations where screen continuity is critical to maintaining alien crosstalk performance of screened cabling.
