Fluke DTX 1800 Category 6 Cable Analyzer
Description
It all starts with 9-second Cat 6 Autotest that means you can meet TIA-568-B certification requirements and receive structured cabling warranties much faster than ever before. With all this speed also comes increased accuracy. The DTX is the only independently verified TIA Accuracy Level IV tester to obtain UL accuracy classification. And, you'll be prepared for emerging new cabling technologies such as 10Gig Ethernet thanks to DTX's 900MHz frequency range. With the DTX Series, you're ready for whatever the world throws at you – today and tomorrow.
