Allows Complete Certification of Links Based on IEC Standard High-Performance, Small Form Factor Adapter

Today, Fluke Networks, HIROSE and HARTING announced the availability of an adapter supporting the ix Industrial® connector for its DSX CableAnalyzer™ family of network cabling certification tools. The ix Industrial® is a rugged Ethernet connector for harsh environments, based on IEC 61076-3-124 standard with a 70% smaller size than the traditional 8-pin modular (“RJ-45”) connector. This new Ethernet interface is a joint development of HIROSE and HARTING. The new adapter allows the DSX Series to connect to cabling systems employing the ix Industrial® connector for the purposes of pre-startup verification and troubleshooting.

The ix Industrial® connector was developed in cooperation between the technology partners HIROSE and HARTING and was introduced to the market 2016. HIROSE and HARTING understand the need for pre-startup testing of cabling systems. They stated: 尽管客户与合约商使用优质组件，但是安装流程中的变量依然可能导致间歇性网络故障到全面网络故障问题，从而导致异常停机。在部署期间，将安装的布线满足行业标准认证，可以减少启动时间并防止与布线相关的昂贵停机时间。”

The miniaturized ix Industrial® connector supports communications rates to 10 Gbps when used with Category 6_A or Class E_A cabling. Its rugged design features an enhanced PCB retention force, durability up to 5,000 cycles, and a high level of resistance to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). Several major companies have endorsed the connector already for use as an Ethernet interface. With the market trend for smaller devices, such as vision sensors and small controllers, the need for miniaturized connections is growing and the ix Industrial® connector is a suitable solution for this market requirement.

Fluke Networks DSX CableAnalyzer 系列为行业权威的布线认证系统的组成部分，支持广泛的内置布线，包括8分类、单个和多模式光纤及电信工业协会 (TIA) 标准、国际标准组织 (ISO) 以及电气和电子工程师协会 (IEEE)。 DSX CableAnalyzer 系列已获得全球 30 多家制造商认可，制造商们将其用于已安装系统的认证。 DSX CableAnalyzer 系列可通过简单合格/不合格结果，执行大量测试，具有广泛的诊断功能，可以减少故障排除时间。

Fluke Networks 副总裁和总经理 Walter Hock 表示：“研究表明，一般以上的工业物联网故障可追溯到布线问题，”例如连接器、线缆或屏蔽断开故障，易受电磁干扰或潮湿的影响，不符合规格或电缆过长。The DSX CableAnalyzer Series can now ensure that installed cables with IX connectors are suitable for Industrial Ethernet environments before machinery starts running or troubleshoot these problems quickly in the case of failure.”

Availability: The IX adapter for the DSX CableAnalyzer Series is manufactured by Fluke Networks and is exclusively available through HIROSE and HARTING resellers.
