Class	EA

The RJ45 Permanent-Link test cable of the LONGLIFE series by Softing IT Networks, type WX_AC_6ALCORDR1, is a test cable specifically developed for WireXpert network testers to test cable connections using the Permanent-Link method. It is designed for Category 6A (Class EA) and is used for precise evaluation of the performance of network cables in structured cabling. The cable is equipped with a replaceable RJ45 test probe, enabling flexible and maintenance-friendly use. Use with the WireXpert series ensures compatible and standard-compliant testing according to applicable norms for network cable testing.

Permanent-Link test cable is specifically designed to evaluate cable performance under realistic conditions, taking into account the connectors at the ends of the cable. This model is designed for Category 6A, which enables a maximum data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s over a distance of up to 100 meters. Category 6A meets the requirements of ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173-1 standards, which apply to structured cabling in businesses and buildings. The use of a Permanent-Link test cable is particularly required during commissioning and maintenance of networks to ensure cabling quality.

LONGLIFE technology refers to the cable's construction, which ensures high mechanical durability and long service life. The replaceable RJ45 test probe allows only the defective part to be replaced in case of wear or damage, rather than replacing the entire cable. This reduces maintenance effort and operating costs. The test probe is specifically developed for the WireXpert series to ensure precise and reproducible measurements.

Compatibility and accessories are limited to WireXpert network testers by Softing IT Networks. The cable is not intended for other measuring devices or series. Use is exclusively in conjunction with WireXpert test equipment.

Mounting and installation require no special tools or preparations. The cable is directly connected to the test socket of the WireXpert test device and to the network cable to be tested at the end point. The measurement is performed using the Permanent-Link method, capturing line parameters under realistic conditions. The replaceable test probe is changed by simple removal and insertion, without additional tools.

Operational advantages include high reliability and ease of maintenance. The LONGLIFE construction ensures long service life, while the replaceable test probe simplifies maintenance. Compatibility with the WireXpert series ensures standardized and precise measurement, which is required for network certification. Use of the cable contributes to quality assurance during installation and maintenance of network infrastructures.
