The WireXpert MP C6A + FQ from Softing IT Networks is a professional certifier for copper and fibre optic networks, specifically designed for use in network infrastructure. The device enables acceptance testing and certification of copper cabling up to a frequency of 600 MHz, meeting the requirements for categories D, E, EA and F. At the same time, it offers comprehensive functions for testing multimode and singlemode fibre optic cabling, making it suitable for both copper and optical networks. Certification is performed according to current international standards ISO/IEC, TIA and CENELEC/EN, ensuring compliance with applicable standards.

Applications
This device is designed for network integrators, IT technicians and electrical installers who must test and document during new installations, acceptance tests or fault finding in LAN networks. The robust construction of the device makes it suitable for use on construction sites, where it may be exposed to high mechanical stress and varying environmental conditions. The combination of copper and fibre optic measurement functions in a single device reduces the number of required instruments and simplifies the workflow.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The WireXpert MP C6A + FQ consists of two mainframes with Dual Control System PLUS (DCS+™), enabling bidirectional communication between the two devices. Each device is equipped with a copper measurement module C6A up to 600 MHz, supporting measurement of copper cabling in categories D, E, EA and F. For fibre optic testing, two fibre optic measurement modules FQ are integrated, featuring light sources for 850 nm and 1300 nm in the multimode range, as well as 1310 nm and 1550 nm in the singlemode range. Additionally, a broadband power meter in the range of 700 nm to 1700 nm is included, enabling measurement of optical signals over a wide spectral range. The modules are equipped with LC and SC adapters for the light sources and power meter, facilitating adaptation to various connectors.

Technology Explained Simply
Measurements are performed with high accuracy and speed, reducing test time and increasing result reliability. The integrated lithium-ion batteries enable mobile use without constant power supply, while the devices can also be operated via power supply unit. The evaluation software eXport is available as a download and supports documentation of measurement results. The delivery includes two CAT6A channel adapters, two CAT6A permanent link adapters, one Longlife permanent link test cable, one DCRU calibration artefact, two headset sets and a quick start guide. The carrying case provides protection and transport convenience. The device calibration is documented, ensuring traceability of measurement accuracy.

Compatibility and Accessories
The device is designed for use with standard network cables and fibre optic cabling. The integrated adapters for LC and SC connectors enable adaptation to common fibre cable types. The 1.25 mm and 2.5 mm red light sources support visual fault location in fibre optic cabling. Additional measurement adapters are available optionally.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by connecting the test cables to the cabling to be tested. The two mainframes are positioned at the ends of the test section and connected via the Dual Control System PLUS. The measurement is started via the user interface, with results displayed directly on the device and documented using the evaluation software. The quick start guide supports the user during initial setup.

Operational Advantages
The combination of copper and fibre optic measurement functions in a single device reduces the number of required instruments and simplifies the workflow. High measurement speed and accuracy enable efficient testing, while the robust construction ensures use under construction site conditions. Standard-compliant certification according to ISO/IEC, TIA and CENELEC/EN ensures that results are recognised and documentable. The integrated evaluation software eXport supports the creation of test reports and archiving of results.
