The TREND Networks (formerly IDEAL Networks) R156005 SignalTEK NT Copper and Fiber Network Transmission Tester allows technicians to install, maintain or troubleshoot data cabling and Ethernet networks to prove the performance up to Gigabit Ethernet transmission rates.

By simulating actual network traffic users are able to test and document network and data cable performance to Gigabit Ethernet standards.

Where system warranties are not required the SignalTEK NT (R156005) is a cost effective way of proving that copper and fiber networks provide error-free performance.

Features

• SignalTEK NT copper/fiber network tester
• Installation testing
• TREND Networks, formerly known as IDEAL Networks

Cabling:

• Network traffic performance test on copper and fiber to IEEE802.3ab standard
• Wiremap test for open, shorts, miswires and split pairs to TIA-568 standard
• Gigabit link verification for copper and fiber cabling
• Use list of wiremap templates for common Ethernet cable types including CAT 6A/7A/8, and non-Ethernet cable, such as Profinet and ISDN

Active network:

• Network load testing through switches simulating CCTV/IPTV/VoIP/Web traffic
• PoE/PoE+ verification that displays available voltage at device location
• Check Ethernet connectivity at device location to 10/100/1000 Mb/s
• Verify network configuration (device IP/gateway address/subnet mask)
• Switch port identification via LLDP/CDP protocols
• Troubleshooting/diagnostics

Cabling:

• Distance to fault using TDR technology (copper only)
• Ability to identify and trace cables with compatible amplifier probe (optional 62-164 not included)
• Optical power indication (with compatible SFP modules)
• Active network:
• Network load testing through switches simulating CCTV/IPTV/VoIP/Web traffic
• Stress test network before installing bandwidth hungry devices
• Port blink to visually trace cable from work area outlet to network switch
• Displays port ID of LLDP/CDP enabled switches to eliminate manual cable tracing
• Identify network connection problems as hardware, network or configuration faults
• Ping local network devices and Internet URL's
• Count number of hops between network points with traceroute tests
• PoE load testing to confirm available power meets PoE device requirements
