What do you get with Gold Support for your DSX-600 CableAnalyzer?

Annual Calibration and Factory Refresh - ISO 9001 standards compliance requires the unit be calibrated per manufacturer’s recommendations, which is annually for the DSX-600. Keeping your DSX-600 CableAnalyzer calibrated is critical to ensure accuracy when testing copper. Our calibration processes are ISO-9001 controlled and designed to certify that your DSX-600 CableAnalyzer meets all published specifications. To receive a loaner unit during calibration (available in most regions), we recommend you schedule your appointment 6 weeks in advance of your required calibration date. If a loaner is not required or calibration cannot be scheduled in advance, Gold customers may opt to instead receive a shipping waybill and your calibrations will receive priority turnaround. Typical turnaround time for a calibration is 5 working days. Your DSX-600 will be precisely calibrated to factory specifications (calibration certificate provided - calibration traceable with data available for extra charge), repaired as necessary with genuine OEM repair parts, upgraded with all of the latest software and firmware then cleaned and performance verified.
