General
Certification category	6A

The WireXpert MP C6A from Softing IT Networks is a professional network tester for cable certification up to Category 6A. It is used for testing data cables in network infrastructures and enables validation of cable parameters according to international standards. The device is specifically designed for use in IT and electrical engineering, where reliable and precise measurement of cable quality is required. The trade-in of existing devices (TradeIn) allows the acquisition of the WireXpert MP C6A at a reduced price, provided a minimum Category 5 certification set is returned.

Applications

The WireXpert MP C6A is used in the installation and maintenance of structured cabling systems. It is suitable for testing copper cables in office buildings, industrial facilities, data centres and other environments where high data transmission quality is required. Certification up to Category 6A covers current requirements for bandwidth and signal integrity, particularly for applications with high data rates such as Gigabit-Ethernet and beyond.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The device performs comprehensive cable analysis, including measurement of impedance, attenuation, NEXT (Near-End Crosstalk) and other relevant parameters. It enables certification according to the standards ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173 and TIA/EIA-568. The equipment includes standard accessories as well as a carrying case, which facilitates transport and storage of the device. The trade-in of an existing certification device reduces the purchase price, with the old cable tester to be returned to Softing within 30 days of purchase.

Technology Explained Simply

The WireXpert MP C6A operates with integrated measurement functions that test the electrical properties of cables. Measurements are performed according to defined standards to ensure that the cabling meets the required performance specifications. Category 6A certification guarantees a maximum bandwidth of 500 MHz, which is sufficient for modern network applications. Results are stored in the device and can be printed for documentation purposes or transferred via an interface.

Compatibility and Accessories

The device is compatible with cables of Categories 5e, 6, 6A and higher. It supports testing of patch cables, cable segments and entire cabling systems. Standard accessories include the necessary connectors and adapters for measurement, as well as a carrying case. The trade-in of a minimum Category 5 certification set is required for the reduced price.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by direct connection to the cable to be tested. No additional mounting work or tools are required. Operation is via an intuitive user interface, enabling selection of measurement functions and evaluation of results. The carrying case facilitates transport to various measurement sites.

Advantages in Operation

The WireXpert MP C6A offers fast and reliable certification of network cables. Integrated documentation and support by standards ensure consistent cabling quality. The trade-in of existing devices reduces acquisition costs and promotes reuse of used equipment. The carrying case protects the device and facilitates on-site use.
