Softing IT Networks’ equipment is a trusted solution for telecommunications, databases, and mainframe or industrial facilities.
The mission driving Softing IT Networks is to optimize its customers’ work processes, whether that means using the WireXpert 4500 to certify copper and fiber optic cables after installation or taking advantage of the NetXpert XG Ethernet network tester to troubleshoot an office network. Approved by the ETL international testing lab and more than 30 vendors’ independent testing, handheld testers and certifiers from Softing IT Networks are actively helping network operators and cable installers around the globe to save time and money by optimizing efficiency and improving their work processes.
Softing IT Networks’ range of high performance IT network solutions cover the spectrum from certifying to managing cabling installations and IT networks. The NetXpert XG qualifier provides a quick and affordable solution to determine the performance of copper networks. For applications that require certification of universal building cabling systems, the WireXpert 4500 certifier is compatible with both copper networks and fiber optic systems. The WireXpert 4500 is also compatible with Softing IT Networks’ range of quick-change adapters to provide additional functionality for copper and fiber optic measurements, including adapters for Class FA, M12, Coax, MPO/MTP, EF multimode, and single mode.
In addition to the NetXpert XG and WireXpert 4500, Softing IT Networks’ high performance solutions include the FiberXpert OTDR 5000 optical reflectometer, which provides measurements for company networks using fiber optics with one of the shortest dead zones available on the market. Softing’s high end CableMaster product family offers several configurations of cable testers for data, telephony, and TV cables, and is suitable for active testing on Ethernet applications.
The WireXpert 4500 from Softing IT Networks is a hand-held device that certifies network communication cable installations. Suitable for offices, malls, stadiums, universities, industrial facilities, and more, WireXpert 4500 is the only network cable certifying platform equipped with Softing IT Networks’ Dual Control System™ standard, which includes a graphical display and control on both certifiers, at both ends of the cable, to increase cable certification efficiency.
The FiberXpert OTDR 5000 optical reflectometer tests multi-mode and single-mode fibers and offers one of the shortest dead zones available on the market, necessary for troubleshooting short distance fiber runs which are frequently found between data center servers. The FiberXpert OTDR 5000 from Softing IT Networks is equipped with an intuitive graphical display that depicts fiber optic components, faults, and distances to the faults.
The NetXpert XG from Softing IT Networks is a copper and fiber cable tester and active network manager capable of troubleshooting and testing performance of a fully operational network. NetXpert XG is the only tester that performs BERT (bit error rate test) up to 10Gb/sec, SNR (signal-to-noise test), and Delay Skew (ensuring bits arrive at the correct time). With the push of a button, NetXpert XG offers a single pass/fail result on all three tests along with a printable report.
High data transmission rates on copper and fiber optic cabling of up to 10Gb/s Ethernet and new Power-over-Ethernet applications up to 90W lead to completely new challenges in the field of structured cabling. NetXpert XG2-PLUS offers comprehensive active and passive network testing up to 10Gb/s for qualification, commissioning and troubleshooting on copper and fiber cabling. With the largest touch display in its class, NetXpert XG2-PLUS guarantees easy operation and clear presentation of results. At the same time, NetXpert XG2-PLUS offers highest reliability of results due to the unique combination of up to four different test methods for the evaluation of copper links. For fiber optic cabling, the NetXpert XG2-PLUS offers an attenuation test in addition to the BERT test and, through LiveLight™, an attenuation trend display. For the inspection of fiber optic connectors there is the possibility to connect a video microscope.
