DSX-CHA-M12-X-S, Industrial Ethernet M12X (8 position) Adapter Set for DSX Cable Analyzers. Cable problems are 50% of industrial ethernet problems. The M12X adapter set (two adapters) is used with the DSX series Cable Analyzers to allow industrial companies and machine builders to validate cables with M12X connector(s) to ensure they comply with international standards thereby reducing machine start-up time, and production down time.DSX M12 channel adapters are available for M12D (4 position) and M12X (8 position) connectors for use with the DSX Cable Analyzer Series. These adapters allow you to test and certify or validate installed cabling links to ensure reliable transmission. The M12 series of connectors can be more suited to the demanding physical environment of industrial installations.The DSX-CHA-M12-X-S is a set of two 8 position M12X adapters for installations using 4 pairs that can support network speeds up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) have 8 position X-coded female connectors. M12X adapters fully support TIA standards up to 6A or ISO up to Class-FA limits. Test Configurations Channel (End to End) Test with M12 on Each End – With a pair of M12 Channel Adapter (D or X version) on the DSX CableAnalyzer and the Smart Remote, the DSX CableAnalyzer will accurately measure the performance of the entire cable and all intermediary connectors as illustrated in Figure 1. Note that the standards' definition of the cable channel specifically excludes the connections to the tester at each end.Channel (End to End) Test with M12 on One End and an RJ45 on the Other End – With one M12 Channel Adapter (D or X version) on the DSX CableAnalyzer and an RJ45 the Smart Remote, the DSX CableAnalyzer will accurately measure the performance of the entire cable and all intermediary connectors as illustrated in Figure 2. Note that the standards' definition of the cable channel specifically excludes the connections to the tester at each end.
