Use SignalTEK CT for the testing of twisted pair data cables to demonstrate that the copper cabling was installed correctly and is capable of supporting Ethernet applications to the IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet Standard
If you install or maintain data cabling, 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.
SignalTEK CT automatically generates test reports in PDF or CSV format. Use the free IDEAL AnyWARETM app from IDEAL Networks to view / send data cable and network test reports to colleagues and clients anywhere.
The hassle of connecting to local Wi-Fi is eliminated to provide a superior user experience, because the IDEAL tester serves as Wi-Fi hotspot.
The 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.
The Tester 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.
Test Reporting
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.
Testing as simple as can be
Four little steps to get and distribute accurate test results
Step 1: enter the job information
- 8 user defined fields with up to 50 individual jobs are available
- Job information is automatically included in the test report documentation
Step 2: Press Autotest & view test results
- Autotest runs the data and wiremap tests and can be initiated from either of the two handsets allowing one person testing
- Up to 5000 tests can be saved in internal memory
- Provides Clear Pass/Fail summary
- Gives detailed results of individual tests
Step 3: Download reports
Activate SignalTEK CT wireless hotspot, connect your mobile phone or tablet with the IDEAL AnyWARE App and transfer test reports to your mobile device
Step 4: Send reports
Select reports (pdf or csv) to send, Select preferred transfer method (email, ftp, cloud storage etc.), send file. (Alternatively save test reports to USB key).
