Mastech MS6813 Multi-Function Cable Tracker

Description

The Mastech MS6813 Multi-Function Cable Tracker is a handheld network and telephone cable tester and tracer. It is primarily used by network engineers, electricians, and technicians to find, trace, and diagnose the condition of cables. The kit consists of a transmitter and a receiver.

Key Features

• Multiple cable types: Can test and track several types of cables, including coaxial (BNC) cables and twisted-pair (RJ45) cables, such as 10Base-T, EIA/TIA-568A, T568B, and Token Ring.
• Continuity testing: Verifies the continuity of cables and identifies common wiring faults like open circuits, short circuits, miswiring, and reversed pairs.
• Tone generator and probe: The transmitter generates a tone signal at 1.5kHz, and the receiver probe detects this signal to help track and pinpoint a specific cable within a bundle or find a break point.
• Telephone line testing: Can identify the status of a working telephone line, indicating if it is clear, ringing, or busy.
• Adjustable sensitivity: The receiver's sensitivity can be adjusted to improve accuracy when tracing cables.
• Visual and audible indicators: The device uses sound and light indicators for clear feedback during testing.
• Shield integrity test: Tests the shield integrity of cables.
