What's special about this Greenlee telephone tester?
|
Simple one touch testing verifies network cabling and service. The NETcat® Pro is a digital tool for fast and accurate testing of cables, wiring and network services. Operated using a back-lit touch screen display, the Pro 500 not only tests wiring continuity and confirms pair allocation, but measures the length of cables and determines if network service is accessible. When used with the NC-510 accessory kit containing seven (7) expansion remote test modules, the NETcat® Pro can uniquely test coax or twisted pair jacks from a central location eight (8) at a time. Using either a finger tip or the built in stylus pen, the screen can be used to control and display a range of tests from fault finding to TDR length measurement.

Comments about Greenlee - NETcat 500 Pro Structured Wiring Troubleshooter:
Works great except I think the TDR would be better if I calibrated the handheld first....by using a known length of UTP or coaxial cable. The wiremap display is good but not great, because for the price it should just tell you if pairs are crossed, split, open, short, etc., instead of having to reference the manual....the more used the more understood!!! Those are the only two cons to the device, otherwise I like it a lot.

 Telephone Test SetPrice $347.58 Waterproof tested to an IEC IP67 rating, these test sets are so impervious to water they can actually withstand submersion. The PE950 and PE961 feature our DigAlert over-voltage alarm and lock-out function to eliminate the danger of damaging or knocking out digital service lines. |
 Kwik Stripper™ CATV/UTP StripperPrice $27.79 Used for both unshielded twisted par (UTP) and coaxial cabling, this tool reduces the number of tools needed without any adjustments. |
 CAT 5e Solid PVC - BULKFrom $10.00 per 50 FT Available in PVC and Plenum rated jackets, the Cable Organizer CAT5e UTP PVC 350Mhz cable comes in various colors for easy identification and color-coding. |
 RG6/U Coaxial Cable - PVC, Plenum, SiameseFrom $31.45 / 500ft Our RG6/U cable is a higher quality 75Ω coaxial cable that is a higher grade cable than RG59 and therefore a better choice where performance is important. It uses a larger, higher-capacity center conductor (18 AWG) and a larger insulating dielectric. |
