Tester Kit Includes
Specifications
The set includes a main unit
and remote probe. The main unit
performs most tests that
determine LAN device type—
switch or PC, LAN speed, and so
on—without the need for the
remote unit.
The remote probe enables you
to trace cable locations. It does
this by audibly tracing tones in
cables with all four pairs. It tests
wiring paired to the EIA/TIA 568A
standard (typically used for ISDN
cabling) and 568B standard (the
most popular scheme for twistedpair Ethernet cabling). The TVR
10/100/1000 does not test USOC
pairing.
