TREND Networks R156006 SignalTEK CT Data Cable Transmission Tester

If you install, maintain or troubleshoot data cabling and Ethernet networks, SignalTEK CT allows you to generate PDF test reports that prove installed links run at Gigabit Ethernet transmission rates.

For installers, this means having a cost-effective way to demonstrate that the copper cabling was installed correctly and is capable of supporting Ethernet applications.
By proving real world performance, SignalTEK CT confirms a professional job - reducing the risk of call backs.

SignalTEK CT also gives network owners the assurance that installed cabling will support bandwidth hungry services like VoIP, IP CCTV and video streaming following moves, adds and changes.

TREND Networks SignalTek CT Includes:

• 1 x display with touchscreen
• 1 x remote
• 2 x NiMH batteries
• 2 x patch cables - 30cm, Cat 5e STP
• 2 x power supply with EU/UK/US adapters
• 1 x USB Wi-Fi adapter
• 1 x quick reference guide
• 1 x carry case
  
  

Today’s challenge

The foundation of all Ethernet networks is the physical cabling. As networks become faster and more complex they become more susceptible to disruption from external interference as well as faulty cabling and or connectors. These physical layer problems can cause a high number of server re-transmissions resulting in network drop-out or slow connection speeds. If network performance issues are to be avoided, today’s installers and technicians need test equipment that not only verifies correct wiring but also confirms a link’s ability to transmit data at full rate.

Tomorrow‘s solution

Uniquely SignalTEK CT proves a link’s ability to support Gigabit applications by performing two primary tests; data transmission and wiremap testing. With a single press of the Autotest button, SignalTEK CT transmits 823,452 data frames between the two handsets and reports any transmission errors against performance criteria laid down by the IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet Standard. It takes only 1 bit of data to get corrupted or lost to give rise to a transmission test failure. Autotest also measures cable length and checks for wiring faults such as crossed pairs, opens, shorts and split pairs. Simple pass/fail results are displayed once the Autotest is complete which can be automatically saved for later review or download.

Key Features:

SignalTEK CT automatically generates test reports in PDF or CSV format.
The summary page of each report can be customised to include logo, company and operator details. Choose between 3 different reports that can show either passed, failed or all test reports in each report:

• Summary
• Brief
• Full 

Transmission testing proves real performance

There is no industry standard defining the testing requirements of cable qualifiers, consequently passing a qualification test does not prove that the installed structured cabling will provide flawless data transmission.

Uniquely, SignalTEK NT utilises a test method known in wide area networks as transmission testing to prove the performance of a network by sending real Ethernet data frames through the cabling and/or network devices to compare the error rate against the IEEE802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet standard.

This provides a clear standards based Pass/Fail of the link being tested. SignalTEK NT requires no configuration from the user as the two handsets automatically pair ready for testing; just select a usage scenario to simulate the appropriate service, from VoIP to CCTV, Video, and web traffic.
