The WireXpert MP C8+ FQ from Softing IT Networks is a professional certifier for copper and fibre optic networks. The device is used for acceptance testing, installation and troubleshooting in LAN infrastructures and supports certifications according to current international standards ISO/IEC, TIA and CENELEC/EN. It is designed for use in construction site environments, where robust construction and high measurement accuracy enable reliable testing of copper and fibre optic lines.

Copper and fibre optic certification
The WireXpert MP C8+ FQ enables certification of copper lines up to a frequency of 3000 MHz, meeting the requirements for Category 8 (Cat 8) and beyond. The copper measurement modules support standard classes D, E, EA, F and FA. For fibre optic applications, the device offers multimode and singlemode measurements. The fibre optic measurement modules FQ are equipped with light sources for 850 nm and 1300 nm (multimode) as well as 1310 nm and 1550 nm (singlemode). A broadband power meter in the range of 700 nm to 1700 nm enables precise power analysis. Additionally, integrated red light sources with 1.25 mm and 2.5 mm, as well as LC and SC adapters for the light sources and power meter, are included.

Functions and equipment in detail
The device consists of two WireXpert MP mainframes, which feature a Dual Control System PLUS (DCS+). This system enables coordinated control of both devices, which is advantageous when testing end-to-end connections. The delivery includes two copper measurement modules C8 up to 3000 MHz, two fibre optic measurement modules FQ, two Li-ion batteries, two power supplies, a carrying bag, a calibration certificate, the evaluation software eXport (for download), two CAT6A channel adapters, two CAT6A permanent link adapters, a Longlife permanent link test cable, a DCRU calibration artefact, two headset units and a quick start guide. The evaluation software eXport is used for documentation and analysis of measurement results.

Technology explained simply
The measurement accuracy and speed of the WireXpert MP C8+ FQ are designed for professional users. Copper measurement up to 3000 MHz enables testing of modern networks requiring high data rates. The fibre optic measurement modules with multiple wavelengths and the broadband power meter allow comprehensive analysis of fibre optic connections. The integrated red light sources support visual fault location in cable connections. The Dual Control System PLUS ensures synchronised control of both mainframes, which is necessary when testing connections between two points.

Compatibility and accessories
The device is suitable for certification of copper lines according to ISO/IEC, TIA and CENELEC/EN standards. The fibre optic measurement modules are designed for multimode and singlemode systems. Additional measurement adapters are available optionally.

Installation and mounting
Installation is carried out via the two mainframes, which are connected at the endpoints of the connection to be tested. The measurement adapters (channel and permanent link adapters) are used according to testing requirements. The headset units enable communication between the two operators during measurement. The carrying bag is for transport and protection of the devices.

Advantages in operation
The WireXpert MP C8+ FQ offers high measurement speed and accuracy, reducing working time and increasing the reliability of results. The robust construction makes the device suitable for use on construction sites. The integrated evaluation software eXport enables structured documentation of tests. Certification according to international standards ensures recognition of results in various markets.
