LANcat is the only network cable certification system with a modular design
that allows you to select the test capability that meets your needs today, and
to economically upgrade performance later to meet future requirements. Plug-in
Performance Modules, a Datacom patented feature, provides flexibility to change
the system to stay current with new standards.
The LANcat System 6 configuration, equipped with C5e Performance Modules, is
the latest advancement in cable certification technology. It is the first
portable cable tester able to provide performance measurements to 250MHz.
250MHz Performance Measures
LANcat System 6 is
the first handheld instru-ment capable of basic link testing beyond the proposed
CAT 6/Class E frequencies of 200MHzand able to provide performance verification
ofEnhanced CAT 5 and Gigabit cabling performanceto 250MHz.
With C5e Performance Modules, the System 6 addsthe advanced measurements of
Equal Level Far EndCrosstalk (ELFEXT), Power Sum ELFEXT, and ReturnLoss for
certification of Enhanced Category 5 links (Cat 5e) to 100 MHz. In addition, 250
MHz measure-ments of Power Sum NEXT, Attenuation, and PowerSum ACR, plus
Propagation Delay and Skew are alsomeasured - all critical for verified support
of veryhigh data rate networks. The extended frequencytesting provides a measure
of usable link band-width by determining the PS-ACR zero point.
LANcat System 6 is fully Category 5/Class D compliant per TIA/EIATSB-67 and
ISO/IECcable requirements, and also provides measures of CAT 5 headroom
margin.
LANcat System
Features
LANcat System 6 includes all
the features and conveniences that are LANcat trademarks, including:
- Simple to Learn and Use
- Cable certification has never been easier. Simply turn the dial to
AUTOTEST and in 20 seconds observe the results. No confusing keypads or
multi-layer menus to slow you down. Summary and detailed test results and
graphs are clearly displayed. The brightlybacklit LCD display is
particularly useful in areas of low ambient light. The built-in Cable Toner
facilitates location of cable ends with a common inductive amplifier/probe.
Store up to 400 AUTOTESTS in each handset (800 total) for later recall or
upload to PC.
- Test and Talk With One Instrument
- LinkTalk provides voice communications over the cable under test,
automatically finding usable wires, even if the cable is miswired. LinkTalk
includes built-in microphones, individual earphones, volume controls, and
Call Alert signal. Miniature audio jacks on the Handsets accept any
conventional headset. LinkTalkkeeps you talking even in buildings that
prevent use of 2-way radios.
- Dual Instrument Displays
- DualView instrument displays provide full graphic displays at both main
and remote units. An excellent aid for troubleshooting cable problems.
- High Confidence Testing
- Plug-in Performance Modules provide an optimized interface to the cable
under test and minimize measurement errors. Performance Modules allow easy
connection to 110 Blocks, BIX Blocks, ALL-LAN (Mini-C) jacks, coax, and
fiber-optic cable. Testers can be calibrated in the field for maximum
accuracy, and provide Pair Reversal and Repeatability functions to verify
unit performance.
- Test Fiber
- Each LANcat Handset can be converted to a precision, optical power meter
with the optional FIBERcatTM Performance Module. FIBERcat is capable of
measuring optical loss for both multimode and singlemode fiber. FIBERcat
measures 850 nm, 1300 / 1310 nm, and 1550 nm wavelengths with 0.1 dB
resolution and provides result storage.
- Better Power Options
- LANcat Handsets offer the convenience of operation from either common
alkaline AA cells, AC/mains adapter, or an optional, rechargeable Nickel
Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery pack.
- Report Manager Software
- Datacom’s Report Manager Software (RMS) allows quick and easy uploading
of test reports. RMS automatically establishes a serial link with the PC and
provides a simple, intuitive interface for summarizing, sorting and printing
test reports. RMS is fully Windows95/NT compatible.
- Power (each Handset)
- Standard: 12 hours operation (>800 Autotests) from 8 AA alkaline
batteries
- Optional: Removable, rechargeable NiMH battery pack
- Size (each Handset)
- 9.6 x 3.9 x 2.5 in. (31 x 9.9 x 6.3 cm)
- Weight (each Handset)
