SignalTEK CT Data Cable Transmission Tester
- The SignalTEK CT is used to prove that data cabling can support Gigabit Ethernet transmission rates
- When handing over a job, often that is all that a client will want to know. The pdf test report generated speaks the language of the IT Manager
- For installers, the tester offers a cost-effective way to demonstrate that copper cabling was installed correctly and is capable of supporting Gigabit applications, providing peace of mind for the installer and the client alike
- The SignalTEK CT performs a wiremap check and data transmission test between a display and remote handset
- The wiremap routine checks the wiring schematic for faults such as crossed pairs, short circuits, opens, and split pairs. The length of the cable is also measured
- The transmission test transmits 823,452 data frames between the two handsets and reports any errors against performance criteria laid down by the IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet standard
- Loss or corruption of only 1 bit of data will cause the test to fail
- A tone generator function allows simple cable tracing to be performed (please buy the optional 62-164 amplifier probe)
- The tester is easy to use with a simple one-button test routine and simple pass/fail results that can be automatically saved for later review or download
- Up to 5,000 results can be stored. The tester includes a WiFi adaptor allowing results (pdf or csv files) to be transferred using the free Ideal AnyWARE app to your preferred storage platform (email, ftp, cloud etc). Alternatively you can transfer results to a USB device if you prefer
- Three choices of result template are available (summary, brief and full) and can include company name, operator and logo along with job information
- CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6A, CAT7 (TIA 568A and B wiring schemes), shielded and unshielded cabling are supported
- The instrument features the Ideal Lifejack RJ45 inserts: when the test interface is worn or damaged you can simply replace it, extending the life of the instrument
- Supplied as a kit including display and remote handhelds, WiFi adaptor, test leads, rechargeable batteries and chargers in a soft case. The Ideal AnyWARE app is a free download
- A set of additional wiremap remotes can be ordered to speed up testing of passive cabling
