Lanberg network cable tester is a multifunctional device for testing cables in telecommunications networks. The device is an indispensable tool for every installer. It helps significantly save time in verifying pairs of network cables. The device is mainly used for measuring the continuity of LAN cabling and verifying connections along with detecting possible problems with short circuits or incorrect pair connections. With the help of this tool, you can test the connections of telephone cables terminated with RJ-11 connectors, UTP, FTP, SFTP cables terminated with RJ-45 plugs, and cables terminated with coaxial plugs. The device consists of two parts, which should be attached to the ends of the cable under test:
- Tester equipped with diodes, RJ-45, RJ-12/RJ-11, coaxial connectors and a switch.
- Terminator (attachments) equipped with diodes, RJ-45 and RJ-12/RJ-11 connectors.
The tester checks each wire separately using two speed modes and the correctness of the shield connection to the modular plug when testing FTP (shielded) cables. With the above device, you will find wires in most types of supported terminals like switches, routers, PCs, patch panels, flush-mounted sockets, surface-mounted sockets. The device has many practical functions such as:
- Automatic connection validation in RJ-45 and RJ-11 cables.
- Slow test function.
- Signaling of measurement and control with 9 LEDs.
- Two speed modes (automatic scan) with the possibility of setting normal speed and slow speed.
The tool will find application in telecoms, Internet cafes, engineering companies, Internet networks, electrical networks, server rooms, both in small and medium-sized companies. It will also prove useful in low-current installations such as cable TV networks, alarm systems, fire alarms, access control and CCTV and IP surveillance systems. The device can perform the following tests:
- Detection of faulty connections.
- Detection of short circuits and breaks in the wiring or cable.
- Detection of pair crossing.
- Detection of pair reversal.
