The Fluke Networks DTX-1200 CableAnalyzer Smart Remote is a field-portable certification unit that works as part of the DTX-1200 system to test and validate copper and fiber cabling installations. Delivering Category 6 certification in as little as 9 seconds, the Smart Remote combines rapid autotest performance with advanced diagnostics to pinpoint cable faults and recommend corrective actions. It supports TIA Categories 3–6 and ISO/IEC Classes C–E, with optional 900 MHz bandwidth for Class F and future 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications.
