The WireXpert MP C8 + FQ from Softing IT Networks is a professional LAN certifier for copper and fibre optic networks. The device combines copper and fibre optic measurement modules in one set and enables certification of network cables according to international standards. It is designed for use in network installation, acceptance testing and fault diagnosis, particularly for specialists in IT and electrical engineering.

Applications
This certifier set is used in professional network infrastructure where high requirements for measurement accuracy and compliance with standards apply. It is suitable for new installations, acceptance processes and maintenance work on copper and fibre optic cables. The devices are designed for use on construction sites, with their robust construction and mobile operation using a battery supporting field conditions.

Functions and equipment in detail
The set includes two WireXpert MP mainframes with Dual Control System PLUS (DCS+TM), each equipped with a copper measurement module C8 up to 3000 MHz. Copper certification covers cable classes from D to II and higher, including Cat 8.2. The fibre optic measurement modules FQ integrate multiple light sources: 850 nm and 1300 nm for multimode, 1310 nm and 1550 nm for singlemode. Additionally, a broadband power meter in the range 700 nm to 1700 nm and a red light source in sizes 1.25 mm and 2.5 mm are included. The modules are equipped with LC and SC adapters for light sources and power meters.

Technology explained simply
The measurement modules enable testing of cables for electrical and optical parameters. The copper modules measure up to 3000 MHz, allowing certification of modern high-speed networks such as Cat 8.2. The fibre optic modules use various wavelengths to evaluate the performance of multimode and singlemode cables. The broadband power meter captures optical power over a wide spectral range, which is important for analysing faults and losses in complex networks. The red light source is used for visual cable location in the network.

Compatibility and accessories
The set is compatible with various adapters available as optional accessories. These include interchangeable adapters with SC and LC interfaces for TX and RX ports, as well as CAT 8.2 TERA Channel adapters. Additionally, reference-quality fibre optic test cables are available, for example singlemode test cables LC/APC-LC/APC or SC-LC/APC. A hard-shell case for the WireXpert MP kit and a headset are also available as accessories.

Mounting and installation
The devices are designed as portable units and do not require fixed mounting. Installation is carried out by connecting the measurement modules to the mainframes and linking them to the cable to be tested. The devices are powered by Li-ion batteries or a power supply. The quick start guide supports the user during initial setup.

Advantages in operation
The WireXpert MP C8 + FQ offers high measurement speed and maximum accuracy. Certification is performed according to ISO/IEC, TIA and CENELEC/EN standards, ensuring international recognition of measurement results. The robust construction and mobile operation make the device suitable for field use. The evaluation software eXport enables documentation and analysis of measurement results. The set includes two CAT8.1 Channel adapters, two CAT8.1 Permanent Link adapters, one Longlife Permanent Link test cable, one DCRU calibration artefact, two speaker sets, a carrying bag, a calibration certificate and a quick start guide.
