Many times, when wiring a new building or upgrading to a faster network, network engineers end up wiring a large number of jacks and patch panels to the network. When that's done, they need a way to quickly test to make sure the wiring has been done correctly, and that the new ports are successfully relaying information to the network. The SuperLooper is a small, easy test that does just that. Simply plug it into your newly-wired device, and look for you network hub/patch panel/switch to light up, showing that it's been installed correctly. |
- Compact, lightweight design is perfect for any network installer's toolbox or key chain
- Molded hybrid casing creates a protective enclosure around the male and female jacks, which is required for proper testing
- Easily check the RX/TX pairs or 10/100base network cables to quickly determine whether or not a signal exists, or if there are any broken wires
- Attached metal chain for connecting to your tool bag strap or your keychain
- CE compliant to meet industry standards

Comments about SuperLooper Loopback Jack and Plug:
I believed I'd be able to use this to test signal presence on my router at home and with drops in conference rooms at my office. Everytime I plug this in I get nothing.
No instructions came with it.
I am not sure if it is defective, must be used some other way, or must be used with another device.
