Beta LaserMike offers the DCM ES-2G cable test system for
the automated testing of category LAN/data cables.
The DCM ES-2G is an ideal bench-top test solution for
compliance testing of high-performance, individually
shielded, twisted-pair Cat 7/7a cables up to 2 GHz.
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.
