The DCM ES-2G cable test system

▲

The ISTP test heads provide an easy means for connecting the Cat 7 cable under test to the test system, minimising external influences and providing proper isolation. A UTP cable fixture extends the testing range, enabling cable producers to test non-individually shielded, twisted-pair Cat 5/6 cables. The base unit includes the automatic switching and baluns needed to interface the cable under test to an external vector network analyser. The DCM ES-2G is also suitable for testing upcoming 40-Gigabit ethernet cable applications. The heart of the system is the Windows-based software engine that includes a simple, easy-to-use test programme with automatic comparison to the test specification, full test reporting, and data management.
