How TriTech Uses the Fluke DSX-8000 to Deliver Certified Structured Cabling for Peak Network Performance
If you're planning a commercial network installation or upgrading your structured cabling system, network certification and testing aren't just nice-to-haves - they're mission-critical. At TriTech, we ensure that every connection in your infrastructure is performance-verified using the industry-leading Fluke DSX-8000 CableAnalyzer.
This advanced tool allows us to test, certify, and document every inch of your cabling - whether it's Cat6, Cat6a, or Cat8 cable - to ensure flawless operation and long-term reliability. Here's how we do it.
What Is the Fluke DSX-8000 CableAnalyzer?
The Fluke DSX-8000 is one of the most powerful network cable testing and certification tools available today. It supports high-speed testing for twisted pair and fiber optic cables and is designed to meet or exceed the latest TIA and ISO/IEC certification standards.
With support for Category 5e through Category 8 cabling, it's the go-to device for verifying:
Copper cabling in commercial office buildings
Structured cabling in data centers
Campus-wide fiber backbone networks
How TriTech Certifies Network Cabling With the DSX-8000
At TriTech, we integrate cable testing into every structured cabling installation. Once your network infrastructure is in place, our technicians run complete certification tests using the DSX-8000. Each cable is tested for:
Correct wire mapping
Length measurement
Insertion loss and return loss
NEXT and PSNEXT (Crosstalk performance)
Frequency range and signal quality
Pass/fail status against ANSI/TIA and ISO standards
What's Included in a Fluke Certification Report?
Every TriTech project includes a detailed Fluke certification report you can archive, submit to inspectors, or use during IT audits. Here's what each report contains:
Page 1: Cable Summary Report
An overview of all cables tested, including ID labels, pass/fail status, and locations.
Page 2: Test Totals
Total number of cables tested, how many passed certification, and a clear summary of results.
Pages 3 and Onward: Individual Spec Sheets
Each cable has its own full test breakdown including:
Wire map diagrams
Cable length and routing
Insertion loss margin
Frequency data
NEXT/PSNEXT graphs
Final pass/fail verification
Testing Existing Cabling for New Office Moves
The Fluke DSX-8000 isn't just for new installations - it's also a powerful tool for verifying existing cabling infrastructure. If your business is moving into a new or previously occupied building, TriTech can use the DSX-8000 to test and validate all existing cables before you move in.
Our technicians will:
Identify and label all existing cable runs
Evaluate performance to ensure they meet current standards (Cat6, Cat6a, Cat8, etc.)
Detect faults, signal loss, or outdated cabling
Provide a full report showing pass/fail results and recommendations
This service gives you peace of mind, reduces post-move troubleshooting, and ensures your network is ready from day one.
Why Cable Testing and Certification Is Critical
Without proper certification, your network could be prone to hidden failures, intermittent signal loss, and costly rework.
By using the Fluke DSX-8000, TriTech provides:
Verified compliance with ANSI/TIA-568 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards
Assurance of Cat6/Cat6a/Cat8 performance levels
Reduced downtime and faster troubleshooting
Future-ready cable infrastructure
Confidence for IT teams, inspectors, and facility managers
Ideal for All Commercial and Industrial Environments
We use Fluke certification on every project, including:
New construction cabling projects
Data center upgrades
Retail, healthcare, and education facilities
Industrial Ethernet and PoE environments
Fiber optic backbone installations
Whether you're building a new space or upgrading legacy wiring, we make sure your cables are certified and future-proof.
