Test and Speed Certify
Ethernet Network Cables
to 1 GB

Ethernet Speed Certier

The Net Chaser

a complete solution to test and speed certify the
data-carrying capabilities of Ethernet network
cables up to 1 Gb/s by testing for noise in the
network, detecting faults in the cable wiring, and
ensuring that cables are able to support the speed
capabilities of active equipment.

• Speed Certication to IEEE standards 802.3

• Cable testing to TIA 568A/B

The NetChaser’s advanced discovery gives the
clearest vision of network layout and interfaces
between active components like servers, switches,
routers, etc. Saves test reports and exports to PC’s
in PDF or CSV format.
