W 850 HF

Test of Ethernet cables

As a supplement to the WEETECH high voltage testers, the W 850 HF multi-port vector network analyzer can be used to test twisted pair Ethernet cables of category CAT 4 to CAT 8.2 with four wire pairs. Assembly faults can be corrected and results reported.
According to ISO/IEC 11801-1 and ISO/IEC 61935-1/-2, Return Loss (RL), Insertion Loss (IL), NearEnd Crosstalk (NEXT) and FarEnd Crosstalk (FEXT), WireMap, Propagation Delay and Delay Skew are evaluated in less than 20 s with an easy to understand PASS / FAIL result.
Thanks to the 2U chassis, the W 850 HF can be easily integrated into a W 454 rack system or add to a W 434 or W 484 environment.
Operation with the CEETIS software provides a protocol that also contains the test information of the high voltage test equipment used.

Simultaneously measuring of four wire pairs using eight ports
End-to-End synchronized testing

Test of Ethernet cables, category CAT 4 up to CAT 6A
Frequency range to 3 GHz

RJ45 interface (max 500 MHz, CAT 6A) for connecting the DUT or an adapter cable (e.g. with M12 connector often used for applications in the automation industry)
19'' rack, 2 U for integration in W 454 or as desktop unit for
W 434 / W 484

Control via the CEETIS software package
Output of the test results together with the data of the high-voltage test systems on the printer, in a file or in a database

Is the Ethernet cable under test wired correctly?
Do Return Loss (RL), Insertion Loss (IL), NearEnd Crosstalk (NEXT) and FarEnd Crosstalk (FEXT), WireMap, Propagation Delay and Delay Skew of the produced Ethernet cable comply with the "Standards of copper cabling for (Industrial) Ethernet of the International Standards Organization (ISO)" or the "Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA)"?
Is the cable produced suitable for the targeted transmission speed?
