The CAT 5e / 6 cable tester provides a simple method of checking

the correct pin conguration of 10Base-T cable, 10Base-2 cable,

RJ45/RJ11 modular cables, 258A, TIA-568A/568B and Token Ring
cables.

It comprises of a Master Unit and a separate Remote Receiving
Unit. The LED indicators on the master and remote units can then
be used to determine the status of the cable under test. The Master
unit can be used on its own, e.g. for testing short cables at one
location, or with the Remote Unit for testing longer cables or pre-
installed cables.

As the Remote Receiver is separate to the Master Unit, it does not
matter whether the cable under test is long, short, on a wall plate or
patch panel. The tester can be used to check for cable continuity,
open circuit, short circuit or a cross connected cable.
