2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
QUICKLAN 6055 is an easy cable tester for LAN cables with RJ45 connector of
whatsoever category. It’s able to detect cable failures and check wirings in UTP
(Unshielded Twisted Pair) and STP (Shielded – screened shielded Twisted Pair) cables.
The instrument 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 thanks to eight
different optional remote units (see § 7.4.2).

3. PREPARATION FOR USE
3.1. INITIAL
This instrument was checked both mechanically and electrically prior to shipment. All
possible cares and precautions were taken to let you receive the instrument in perfect
conditions.
Notwithstanding we suggest you to check it rapidly (eventual damages may have occurred
during transport).
Make sure that all standard accessories mentioned in § 7.4.1 are included.
Should you have to return back the instrument for any reason please follow the
instructions mentioned in § 8.
3.2. POWER SUPPLY
The instrument is battery supplied with 1x9V alkaline battery type IEC 6F22 included in the
package. When the “” low battery indication symbol is displayed replace it immediately,
following the instructions given in § 6.2. Don’t replace the battery while the instrument is
connected to the plant.
3.3. CALIBRATION
The instrument complies with the technical specifications contained in this manual and
such compliance is guaranteed for 1 year. Afterwards the instrument may need
recalibration.
3.4. STORAGE
After a period of storage in extreme environmental conditions exceeding the limits

4.1.2. Switch on of instrument
To switch on the instrument press the ON/OFF key. For an instant all display segments
light up, then the firmware release appears on the top right side. When “on” is displayed
the instrument is ready to start.
4.1.3. Selection of cable type
By pressing UTP or STP keys it’s possible to select the type of cable to be tested, with the
following difference: STP performs also tests on the shield (continuity and proper
connections) while UTP doesn’t.
Consequently STP must be pressed for all shielded cables such as:
By default the selected cable is STP. Any time the instrument is turned off
and on such type of cable is automatically selected

5. MEASUREMENTS
5.1. CABLING TEST VERIFY
The wire mapping of RJ45 LAN cables is tested in accordance with its defined cabling
layout. To test a cable perform the below operation:
1. Select the type of cable UTP or STP under test (see § 4.1.3).
2. Connect the cable under test to the meter (see Fig. 1 – part 1) and to the remote unit
by using if necessary through supplied patch cables
3. Press GO key to perform all tests related to the selected type of cable
The remote unit must be necessarily connected otherwise no measurement is
performed
If cabling is correct, a screen like this is displayed (OK).
The identification number refers to the remote identifier
connected to the other end of the cable being tested.
If cabling is not correct, a screen like this is displayed.
Referring to this example:
“NOT OK” indication and caution symbol means that
the test have given some errors
“FAULT 1/3” means that the detected errors are 3, of
which the first one is currently displayed. By pressing
arrow keys it’s possible to run over the remaining
screens and display other cabling errors
Details on the detected error are given on the left
side: the couple 1-2 is OPEN
If the instrument detects the presence of a voltage >
0.2V on the RJ45 input, it shows the message in the
screen on the right and do not perform the test.
Eliminate the cause of the presence of voltage (e.g.:
coupling due to the presence of electrical cables close
to cable of LAN networks)
CAUTION
It’s indispensable to select the right type of cable. If UTP is selected although
a STP cable is tested, test results may be not reliable due to the shield
affecting the measurement.

5.3. SPLIT PAIRS EXPLANATION NOTE
A LAN cable contains 8 conductors, twisted two by two thus forming 4 pairs: 1-2, 3-6, 4-5,
7-8. The error “SPLIT PAIRS” consists in the exchange of two conductors belonging to
different pairs. The pin to pin correspondence seems intact, but physically the conductors
of two couples are split. Such interaction hardly affects (or even makes impossible) the
exchange of data at high frequency/speed.
The error condition “SPLIT PAIRS” is verified only when the cable mapping is
fully correct.
