Fluke Networks DSX2-5-IE-K1 Industrial Ethernet DSX Kit 1

Product Highlights

Industrial environments are much harsher and more time sensitive than traditional IT environments. Ethernet packets can be corrupted (CRC, FCS errors) causing packet re-sends which increases latency which can disrupt communications resulting in production delays.

Cables that appear good and pass basic continuity and speed tests can be susceptible to vibration, moisture and contamination, temperature changes, and electromagnetic noise in a manner that causes ethernet packets to be intermittently corrupted.

The DSX Industrial Ethernet CableAnalyzer™ (DSX2-5-IE-K1) is based on the Fluke Networks DSX-5000 and supports testing copper Industrial Ethernet networks and has optional modules to support fiber optics.

• Validate that cables conform to international standards.
• Faster Startup: Ensure cable performance at machine builder, commissioning and after making changes.
• Prevent downtime: Find marginal cables susceptible to vibration, moisture, noise and temperature.
• Speed troubleshooting: Avoid wasting time installing bypass cables.
• Identify the exact type and location of cable failure—or prove it
