The DTX-1500 CableAnalyzer™ advantage: speed, performance and accuracy.

The DTX CableAnalyzer™ series is the most widely adopted structured cabling certification testing platform. Its features, speed, and reliability make you more efficient and productive – and you can see the results on the bottom line. No other tester has delivered as consistently as the DTX.

Its intuitive interface means your techs spend less time in training and more time testing.

500 MHz frequency range certifies Cat 6A/Class EA cabling for 10 Gigabit Ethernet.

Advanced diagnostics pinpoint the location of a failure and suggest corrective action.

LinkWare™ Cable Test Management Software’s user interface and time-saving features increase productivity.

DTX-1500 CableAnalyzer

Cat 6 certification in 9 seconds

The DTX-1500 CableAnalyzer gives you a complete solution that streamlines every aspect of the certification job – from setup, to testing and troubleshooting, to reporting results to the customer. The DTX-1500 performs Class E/Cat 6 certification tests in just 9 seconds and Class EA/Cat 6A in 22 seconds – in full compliance with industry standards and with superior accuracy. This incredible speed means you can test hundreds of links in an eight-hour shift.

Troubleshoots faults fast

When a link fails, the DTX-1500 provides quick, easy-to-understand directions to identify the point of failure (distance from the tester) and the possible reasons for the failure. These directions not only tell you the problem, but also identify corrective actions your test technicians can take to solve the problem quickly – all without having to consult the project manager. Instead of spending time executing trial and error corrections – and re-testing to find out whether the problem has been resolved – the technician knows exactly where to look and what to do to fix the failing link. Even if only two percent of the cables certified in one shift fail Autotest, you’ll save as much as two hours of labor time per day certifying.

Fast even when you’re not testing

The DTX-1500 isn’t just a fast way to test. It cuts setup and reporting times. Its ease-of-use lowers training time. Extended battery life means you can do more on a single charge. And a bright color display, ample memory, and built-in talk feature all contribute to overall productivity while enhancing the user experience. This all adds up to save you time and money every day.
