Studies show that half of Industrial Ethernet problems are caused by cabling. The DSX CableAnalyzer validates cable performance to TIA 1005-A and ISO 11801:3 standards, allowing industrial companies and machine builders to ensure compliance, start up faster, and reduce production down time.
The DSX CableAnalyzer works on cables running EtherNet/IP, Profnet, ModBus TCP, EtherCAT, plus other protocols. It offers touchscreen project management, TIA Level IIIe accuracy, and advanced troubleshooting, all with integrated Wi-Fi and 8-hour battery life.
The kit includes the Versiv mainframe and remote units, a reference module, adapters, commonly used accessories, and a statement of calibration.Ê
