I. INTRODUCTION
The LAN Cable Tester is an easy and effective cable tester with the
ability to identify cable failures, check wiring, and measure cable length
in the UTP (Unshielded twisted pair cable), FTP (Foil – screened
(shielded twisted pair cable), and COAX (Coaxial cable) cables.
It not only identifies wiring faults, such as open wires, shorted wires,
miswires and split pairs, but also tests up to 8 different cables at one
end. A stored cable library provides quick access to common cable
types.
U.S. Pat. No. Des. 446,135
The Cable Tester comes with :
ð One remote identifier #1
RID46-234 (Optional for #2, #3 & #4)
