N2644A Series Category 6A Universal Channel and Permanent Link SmartProbes,

Class F

Universal Channel and Permanent Link

SmartProbes enable the WireScope

Pro to certify LAN cables, permanent

links and channel adapters. Once

inserted in the module bay of the

WireScope Pro, both, SmartProbes and

instrument, are automatically set up

and ready to perform standards-based

cable certification tests.

[1] If not mentioned otherwise, specifications are according to ISO Level IV definition.

[2] The term “Category 7” has been widely used as a synonym of ISO/IEC Class F, yet it is not a TIA/EIA standardized term. Product labels and

documentation may contain either term. Future documents and labels will use the term “Class F”.
