LANTEK
®
6 LAN Cable Certifier
■ Fully compliant with
Category 6/I S O E draft
standards
■ Full Category 6/I S O E
AutoTest, with graphs in
approximately 25 seconds
■ Tests CAT 7/I S O F limits up
to 350 M Hz
■ Advanced link adapter
method provides more
versatility and reduces cost
of ownership
■ Built in TDR ready for
copper and fiber
■ First fiber accessory for a
copper tester that traces
fiber runs, displays distance
to and magnitude of events
LANTEK 6 is a fully compliant Category 6/
ISO E cable tester with a frequency range up
to 350 MHz. Performing full Category 6/ISO E
Autotests with graphs in approximately 25
seconds, LANTEK 6 will get you through
your jobs faster than ever. Plus LANTEK 6 is
fully upgradeable to LANTEK 7 giving you
maximum flexibility as test standards evolve.
LANTEK 6 utilizes an advanced link adapter
method to reduce cost of ownership.
LANTEK 6 comes with a pair of Category 6/
ISO E channel adapters. These channel
adapters fit into the case of the unit and are
locked in place. This creates a stable and
repeatable testing platform while eliminating
bulky adapters extending beyond the end of
the unit. By simply plugging in a Category 6/
ISO E reference patch cord to the channel
adapter, you can now perform Category 6/
ISO E permanent link testing. Should the
plug ever wear out the patch cord is
replaced rather than the entire assembly
reducing lifetime cost of ownership.
Among the LANTEK 6 accessories are the
the industry’s most advanced fiber options,
FIBERTEK and TRACETEK. FIBERTEK
enables loss, length, bi-directional testing
over two fibers, and talkset over fiber capabilities for 850 and 1300 nm Multimode and
1310 and 1550 nm Singlemode fiber.
TRACETEK is the first fiber accessory
for a copper tester that will trace a
fiber run, locate distance to
events along the fiber, and
measure the magnitude of
the event. This capability
can eliminate the need
for a more costly OTDR
in campus network
environments.
■ Display unit comes with
1/4 VGA color screen,
remote unit comes with
two-line black and white
LCD display
■ Serial and US B ports for
uploading tests and
upgrading firmware
■ Two full-function
PC MCIA slots accept
compact flash
memory and
provide for future
capabilities
LANTEK 6 is fully upgrade-
able to LANTEK 7, protecting
your investment and giving
you the maximum flexibility in
meeting your evolving
certification needs.
LANTEK®6 LAN Cable Certifier
The LANTEK 6 display unit comes with the brightest 1/4 VGA color screen in
the industry. The remote unit has a two-line black and white LCD display to
enhance communications, and can initiate an AutoTest to increase productivity
in one-person operations. Both units have an overmolded edge to function in
the harshest environments.
Along with serial and USB ports, LANTEK 6 comes standard with two full-function
PCMCIA slots to accept compact flash memory and provide for future capabilities.
This allows for virtually unlimited test storage with graphs keeping your unit in
the field. LANTEK 6 comes with LANTEK Reporter PC software that can upload
stored tests from the serial or USB ports, or compact flash memory and can
create brief, summary, or detailed certification reports for your clients.
Get through your jobs faster than ever today and prepare yourself for the future
with LANTEK 6.
