Wirescope 350
Ready for Category 6 and Beyond
The WireScope 350
provides comprehensive support for all current and emerging LAN cable
certification standards including Category 6 / Class E channel and permanent
link. Offering outstanding test performance, ease of use and graphic reporting,
the WireScope 350 is the ultimate tool for LAN and cabling professionals.
Superior Measurement Performance
WireScope 350 is
based on frequency domain testing, the same principle used by the world's most
accurate Network Analyzers. Its unmatched hardware accuracy is further augmented
by state-of-the-art software algorithms including a novel patent pending
Enhanced Auto Cancellation Technology to automatically cancel the interface and
adapter effects from the test results. This automatic and dynamic compensation
assures superior repeatability and accuracy with continuous usage of the
instrument.
Color User Interface
A bright color
touch screen simplifies navigation through menus and improves comprehension of
test result data, resulting in faster operation and reduced training times. Test
setup advisor screens assist the operator when configuring test options,
minimizing the chances of inadvertently testing to the wrong limits. All
settings can be defined on a PC and downloaded in a single operation, speeding
the process of configuring multiple WireScope 350 sets for the same job site
testing requirements
Universal SmartProbes Enable Accurate Cat 6
Testing
The WireScope 350 supports category 6 testing with Universal
Link & Channel SmartProbes which have been designed to maximize Category 6 /
Class E certification test margins for virtually all brands & categories of
cabling.
Agilent's Universal SmartProbes guarantee TIA Level III
accuracy and optimized test margins when used with standards compliant category
6 cabling may be the only test cords you need for category 6 certification.
Given the significant improvement in the quality and consistency of
category 6 connecting hardware, it may no longer be necessary to purchase
manufacturer specific link test cords to match the connecting hardware in the
channel under test. Of course Agilent still offers a large selection of
manufacturer-specific category 6 Link and Block SmartProbes.
Measurement
accuracy can also suffer if worn out test adapters are used. To minimize
accuracy problems, the WireScope 350 uses "SmartProbe" test adapters that
contain their own configuration data and a counter that logs the number of tests
they have been used for. As a consequence, the WireScope 350 can warn the user
if an attached test adapter is inappropriate for the selected test limits. This
avoids wasting time testing to the wrong limits.
Fiber Support
is a Snap
By snapping on the optional Fiber SmartProbe adapters, the
WireScope 350 can also test either multi-mode or single-mode optical fiber
installations. Test results are stored in the same database with copper tests
and can be integrated into the same reports.
Easy to Follow
Setup Instructions
As new standards, limits and cabling system
warranty program rules appear, certification testing becomes more complex. A
significant challenge lies in setting the proper limits and measurement options
before testing starts. The WireScope 350 user interface addresses this problem
through step-by-step setup instructions that guide the user through all of the
necessary choices.
Downloadable Test Profiles
In
order to further speed the setup process, the user can load a test profile,
which defines all limit, cabling and tester settings. Test profiles can be
created within ScopeData Pro or pre-defined profiles for popular warranty
programs can be downloaded. Test profiles can optionally be locked so that while
loaded in the WireScope 350, no settings can be changed.
Extensive Fault Diagnostics
Clear fault schematics
simplify diagnosis of failing cabling runs at the job site. A distance to fault
locator function pinpoints the source of trouble.
Memory Cards
Store Plot Data
The WireScope 350 stores plot data on removable
Compact Flash memory cards. This approach allows for unlimited expansion of
memory capacity and transferal of test data without taking the WireScope 350 out
of service. Readily available Compact Flash card readers and adapters allow data
to be uploaded directly to either laptop or desktop PCs.
Professional Quality Graphic Reports
As the
complexity of cable testing standards increases, it becomes more challenging to
clearly present test result data. Included ScopeData Pro software solves this
problem with professionally designed report layouts that include plots of test
data, facilitating at-a-glance analysis of cabling quality and headroom vs.
limits. Test reports can be easily customized to include the contractor or
client logo graphics on every page for a truly professional look.
