WireXpert 4500 – Cable Certification Tester for Cat8 Copper and Fiber Networks
Article number: 228070
Certifier for copper and fiber optic networks up to Category 8
- Copper certification up to Category 8 and measurements up to 2500 MHz
- Fiber certification for multimode and single-mode networks
- Ideal for large and complex network environments
WireXpert 4500 – The Cable Certifier for Category 8 Networks
The WireXpert 4500 cable certification tester is the most powerful model in the WireXpert series and is specifically designed for network technicians and installers who require high-precision certification of copper and fiber cabling.
The WireXpert 4500 enables measurements up to 2500 MHz, making it ideal for modern, high-performance networks, including Category 8 (Class I & II).
The WireXpert 4500 can be used to certify both copper cabling up to Category 8 and multimode and single-mode fiber optic cabling. This makes the device ideal for use in data centers, industrial environments, and laboratories where maximum precision and reliability are required.
The innovative Dual Control System (DCS™) enables fast and efficient measurement by equipping both handheld devices with color touchscreens and offering identical functionality. This allows technicians to work independently or in teams while viewing results on both devices simultaneously—saving time and simplifying troubleshooting in complex installations.
In addition to copper certification, the WireXpert 4500 offers extensive testing capabilities for fiber cabling. Measurements can be performed at:
• 850/1300 nm (multimode)
• 1310/1550 nm (single-mode)
Optional adapters support specialized applications such as coaxial testing and industrial Ethernet (e.g., M12 connectors) in backbone and data center environments.
The integrated eXport software enables efficient documentation and reporting. Measurement data can be exported in PDF or CSV format, and integration with eXport Cloud Enterprise allows centralized management and sharing of test results.
In summary, the WireXpert 4500 is a complete solution for professionals who demand accurate, standards-compliant cable certification in complex network environments.
