Designed for Ethernet systems, TC500 measures the speed and performance on CAT3, CAT5e and CAT6 cables according to ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B and ISO/IEC 11801 to ensure the cable qualification.
Key Features
Contains a main unit and a remote unit.
Multi connector: one RJ45 connector for UTP/STP data cable testing, one F connector for coax testing, one RJ11 connector for telephone cable testing and two banana jacks for 2-wires testing
Support International standard ISO/IEC 11801 and American standard TIA/EIA-568-B
Tone generator.
Two additional functions: Ping and BER Test
