Case Study: Extreme Packets cuts cable certification time 79% and speeds project completion up to 70% with Fluke Networks' Versiv DSX-5000 and LinkWare Live

Extreme Packets Uses Versiv™ with LinkWare™ Live to Meet its Need for Speed in Cable Testing

Extreme Packets, a Lubbock, Texas–based cabling contractor with more than 15 years’ experience serving universities, businesses and new-construction projects, faced mounting pressure to complete large-scale jobs faster and to reliably manage and share cable test results. Large projects with hundreds to thousands of drops meant testing speed and secure, organized result storage were critical to avoid rework and delays.

The company upgraded to the Versiv DSX-5000 CableAnalyzer and LinkWare Live cloud platform, cutting per‑cable certification times by up to 79% and overall project completion time by as much as 70% (jobs that once took ~12 hours often now finish in ~4). Test results are uploaded to the cloud for immediate, secure client access, improving scheduling, reducing manpower needs, and delivering a strong ROI—paying for the solution roughly three times over.
