Hioki 3665-20-01 LAN Cable Tester Kit

Description

The Hioki 3665-20-01 LAN Cable Tester Kit is a handheld device designed to test, verify, and troubleshoot twisted-pair LAN cables. It helps network technicians and installers confirm cable connections, check wire maps, measure cable length, and identify cable endpoints.

Key Features

• Wire map testing: Detects wiring faults such as opens, shorts, reversals, transposed pairs, and the crucial "split pair" condition, which can be missed by simpler continuity testers and cause network speed issues.
• Cable length measurement: Uses an NVP-enhanced (Nominal Velocity of Propagation) process to measure cable length with an accuracy of \(\pm 4\%\) of the reading \(\pm 1m\). This can also help locate the position of a break or short circuit in a cable.
• Direction check: Uses included and optional terminators to identify up to 21 individual cable destinations, which is very useful for troubleshooting a patch panel with many cables.
• Supported cables: The tester is compatible with 100-ohm shielded and unshielded twisted-pair cables, including CAT3, CAT4, CAT5, CAT5e, and CAT6, using RJ-45 connectors.
