Testing & Certification

Hyperspan profiles on Fluke DSX — and AEM TestPro

Installers can load a Hyperspan custom test limit onto Fluke Networks Versiv V2 / DSX CableAnalyzer units, export pass/fail reports for handover, and verify channels on AEM TestPro platforms used across professional copper certification.

Fluke Networks DSX

How to download and install the Hyperspan profile

Procedure based on Fluke Networks guidance for importing a custom test limit onto Versiv V2 with a DSX module. Follow the PDF for screenshots of every screen.

01

Versiv V2

Main unit with DSX module installed

02

Firmware

Prepared for Versiv V2 firmware 7.1

03

USB drive

FAT32, 64 GB or less, verified by the tester

04

Profile file

Fluke-supplied Hyperspan .json — do not rename

  1. 1

    Download the files

    Save the Hyperspan JSON profile and keep the PDF install guide open for reference. Do not rename or edit the JSON file.

  2. 2

    Prepare a FAT32 USB drive

    Use a USB flash drive formatted as FAT32, 64 GB or less. Versiv must recognise the drive before you continue.

  3. 3

    Build the folder path exactly

    On the USB root create Custom_Spec → tp, then place the JSON file inside tp. Path: USB root / Custom_Spec / tp / en_Hyperspan_200_m_1_Gb_Channel_V2.json

  4. 4

    Confirm Versiv V2 firmware

    On the tester: Tools → Version Information. This supplied profile was prepared for Versiv V2 firmware 7.1 (DSX module installed).

  5. 5

    Import via Version Information

    Keep the USB inserted on the Version Information screen and follow the hidden corner-tap sequence in the install guide to import the custom limit.

  6. 6

    Select the Hyperspan limit and test

    After import, choose “*Hyperspan 200 m / 1 Gb Channel_V2*” as the test limit, run Autotest, and export results for handover and warranty evidence.

USB folder path (exact spelling)

USB root / Custom_Spec / tp / en_Hyperspan_200_m_1_Gb_Channel_V2.json

Folder names and capitalisation matter. Place the JSON inside the tp folder. Before importing, verify the USB with Results → Transfer → USB Flash Drive → Export. Do not continue until the tester recognises the drive.

Fluke Networks

Why Fluke DSX / Versiv matters on Hyperspan jobs

Fluke Networks’ DSX CableAnalyzer series (part of the Versiv platform) is the industry-standard copper certification toolset used by contractors worldwide. DSX-5000 and DSX-8000 modules certify twisted-pair channels to recognised TIA/ISO limits, store results, and export professional reports through LinkWare PC — the same workflow shown in our sample Hyperspan pass report.

DSX CableAnalyzer

Field certification for Cat5e through Cat8 / Class I–II deployments, with Autotest results suitable for handover packs.

Custom Hyperspan limit

Select “*Hyperspan 200 m / 1 Gb Channel_V2*” so extended-reach channels are judged against Hyperspan limits — not only standard Cat6 distance assumptions.

LinkWare documentation

Export traceable PASS/FAIL reports for QA, client handover and warranty support evidence.

AEM Networks

Also supported on AEM TestPro platforms

Hyperspan supports professional verification on AEM solutions as well as Fluke. AEM’s TestPro CV100 is a multifunction cable certifier widely used for copper certification, smart-building readiness and manufacturer warranty programmes.

The AEM TestPro CV100 is built for modern copper and smart-building infrastructure testing. It performs standards-based copper certification (Cat5e through Cat8), supports channel and permanent-link Autotest, and can expand into Multi-Gigabit link qualification and loaded PoE validation — useful when commissioning powered edge devices on longer Hyperspan runs.

TestPro is recognised across the industry for fast Cat6A Autotest cycles, Level 2G-class measurement accuracy, and results management through TestDataPro — so Hyperspan channels can be documented on AEM workflows as well as Fluke LinkWare.

Availability of specific Hyperspan library entries on AEM units depends on tester model and software release. Contact Hyperspan support with your TestPro model if you need confirmation for a project.

Copper Autotest

TIA/ISO parameters plus DC resistance unbalance and distance-to-fault diagnostics.

Smart building kits

Optional Multi-Gig, PoE load and MPTL adapters for edge-device readiness.

Warranty programmes

Used by many cable manufacturers for approved field certification workflows.

Project reporting

Results can be stored and shared via TestDataPro / cloud collaboration tools.

Lab & field

What Hyperspan verification covers

From laboratory characterisation to installer Autotest — the goal is the same: confirm the channel is installed correctly and operating within expected electrical and PoE boundaries.

Laboratory verification

  • Insertion loss (attenuation) profiling
  • Near-end and far-end crosstalk (NEXT, FEXT)
  • Impedance stability and balance checks
  • Propagation delay and pair-to-pair delay skew

PoE power delivery

  • PoE (IEEE 802.3af)
  • PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at)
  • PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt)

Focus on stability over distance — DC resistance, end-device power availability, and voltage-drop behaviour under load.

Standards alignment

Channel performanceISO/IEC 11801 / EN 50173
Electrical parametersANSI/TIA-568
PoE power deliveryIEEE 802.3af / at / bt

Insertion Loss (IL)

Attenuation across frequency to confirm the channel is within expected loss limits over extended lengths.

Return Loss (RL)

Reflections from impedance mismatch — often linked to termination quality, bend radius and connector selection.

Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT)

Coupling at the transmit end to validate pair geometry balance and termination quality.

Far-End Crosstalk / ACR-F

Far-end coupling and signal-to-noise margins that become increasingly important on longer runs.

Propagation Delay & Delay Skew

Timing alignment between pairs to support stable link negotiation and throughput over distance.

DC Resistance & Unbalance

Key indicators for PoE stability, voltage-drop behaviour and heat under load.

Warranty link

Test results support the 25-Year Warranty Programme

Registered projects with documented tester exports receive clearer warranty pathways. Keep LinkWare / TestDataPro reports with installation photos if support is ever needed.
