Platinum Tools, a provider of solutions for the preparation, installation, hand termination and testing of wire and cable, has announced that it will feature its NetXpert XG2 10G Network Tester during ISC West 2023, held in Las Vegas, Nevada from 29-31 March at the Venetian Expo and Convention Center.

According to the company, the XG2 provides 10G speed certification over copper and fiber and complete network testing over copper, fiber and WiFi systems.

“The NetXpert XG2 sets a new standard in versatility and value for cable and network testing,” said Sean Rothermel, Platinum Tools Product Manager.

“With Cat6A rapidly gaining dominance, a tester capable of certifying networks to 10G speeds has become more of a necessity. With the NetXpert XG2, we have a single device that performs 10G speed certification, as well as all the network tests you need on copper, fiber and WiFi systems, even PoE testing up to the PoE type 4 standard. This eliminates the need to buy or carry multiple testers for various jobs.”

In addition, Platinum Tools says that a key feature is the XG2’s future upgradeability, with new firmware able to be loaded by the end-user via USB or Wi-Fi.

“This capability makes the XG2 even more valuable as the investment in this product does not end when future technologies would render most other units obsolete,” Rothermel added. “Upgrading new firmware will allow the XG2 to be used for years while keeping up with current technological necessities.”
