April 17, 2001 DCM Industries, Inc. (www.dcmindustries.com) has introduced the Model ES-2G Structured Cabling Test System designed for testing Category 5e, Category 6, and Category 7 cables up to 1.8 GHz.

The ES-2G includes the automatic switching and baluns needed to interface the cable under test to an external network analyzer. The ES-2G Windows-based software solution includes a simple, easy-to-use test program with automatic comparison against the test specification, full test reporting and data management.

The ES-2G test heads provide an easy means for connecting the cable under test to the test system, minimizing external influences and providing the isolation needed for accurate test results. The test system is suitable for both 4-pair Unshielded Twisted Pair cables (UTP), Shielded cables (FTP, STP), and 4-pair Individually Shielded cables (ISTP, S/STP).
