About the AxTalk Analyzer Kit
The DSX-5000 kit includes the hardware and AxTalk Analyzer
software you need to do tests for alien crosstalk on twisted pair

adjacent cables in a bundle or patch panel. Alien crosstalk is a
primary source of noise in cabling used for 10GBASE-T
applications.
For instructions on how to do alien crosstalk tests, install the
AxTalk Analyzer software, which is available on the Fluke
Networks website, then see the online help in the software.
