About this product

Useful for residential and commercial cable installers, the Platinum Tools LANSeeker is a cable tester and tone generator designed to test the usability of Ethernet cables. It identifies shorts, miswires, opens, reverses and split pairs, with a debug mode that diagnoses faults one pair at a time, displaying them on LED indicators on the main and remote unit. The LED monitors battery status as well. The LANSeeker generates audio tones, making it suitable for use with tone tracers. Running off of a single 9V battery, the unit sports a relatively long battery life, giving you 20 hours of testing, 170 hours of audio tone, and 2.5 years of life in standby. Indeed, the battery lasts so long there is no off-switch; the tester automatically powers on within two seconds upon sensing a cable connection, and switches off within five seconds of sensing a cable disconnection.

IDEAL - LinkMaster RJ45 CAT5E/6 Ethernet Wiremapper Tester - Gray

Use the IDEAL LinkMaster Wiremapper to identify wiring and continuity errors in twisted pair cabling. Wiremappers are used to verify if the cable is physically terminated properly at both ends and that there are no major cable defects present in the cable, such as cut conductors, that would prevent signal continuity. Colored LED lights identify pass/fail conditions of each pair of wires in RJ45 8-conductor cables. This tester is used for testing RJ45 connector cables terminated to CAT 3/5/5E/6/6A twisted pair cables. When the test is activated, LinkMaster checks each pair of the cable for any opens (unterminated or cut conductors), shorts (cut or nicked conductors that come into contact), miswires (wires out of order–not consistent at both ends), reversals (1 pair miswired), and split pairs (wired correctly but using wrong conductor order and grouping). Any pair that fails is indicated with a red LED light for easy visual indication of a non-passing cable. Shield continuity can also be tested on shielded connectors and cables. The Debug feature cycles through each pair so you can see the pass/fail status of each pair 1 at a time. Single button operation simplifies the use of the LinkMaster.
