Fluke Networks DSX-5000QOI Cable Analyzer

Overview

The Fluke Networks DSX-5000QOI is a copper cable certification analyzer for twisted pair cabling systems supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet deployments. It certifies Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6A, and Class FA cabling and is part of the Versiv cabling certification family. The tester combines accurate measurements with simplified workflow through the ProjX management system and Taptive user interface.

The DSX-5000QOI accelerates every step of the testing and certification process, from setup through system acceptance. It achieves 10-second Cat 6A test times, can manage up to 12,000 test results with full graphical analysis, and provides rapid fault location through integrated diagnostics and graphical display of failures.
