Ideal SignalTek Cable Qualification Tester

 SignalTek Cable Performance Tester

Document Performance of Twisted Pair Voice and Data Cabling
SIGNALTEKâ?¢ provides a technically innovative method to test and document the performance of voice, data, and video applications for cabling installers and network technicians.

A technically innovative performance, monitoring and network troubleshooting tool
In addition to cable performance qualification, SIGNALTEKâ?¢ can be configured to run for several minutes or hours at a time. While stress testing critical network links, SIGNALTEKâ?¢ transmits hundreds of Gigabits of information across the network while looking for dropped packets. This monitoring mode allows SIGNALTEKâ?¢ to be used to isolate intermittent network problems that are difficult to detect. Adopting the latest generation of Gigabit Ethernet technology, IDEALâ??s innovation brings the best performance to this new class of affordable testers.

• Offers service detection to verify true 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet operation
• Provides Bit Error Rate test for VoIP, data, and video-over-IP applications
• User-defined data logging and network monitoring to detect problems that may cause network outages
• Selectable test modes to qualify cabling support of Data, Voice over IP, and IP Video transmissions

High-Performance Gigabit Ethernet Testing
SIGNALTEKâ?¢ is the most cost-effective Gigabit Ethernet cable performance tester in the world. It tests the linkâ??s ability to support applications by transmitting Ethernet packets on the link and measuring performance according to the IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet standard, the ultimate performance indicator for any network.

• Provides comprehensive cable testing for voice, data, and video applications 
• Performs complete wiremap and length tests of: 1, 3, and 4 pair UTP/STP, and series 6/59 coaxial cable to TIA-568 A/B and TIA-570 standards 
• Performs a full IEEE 802.3ab compliant Gigabit Ethernet packet test in about 35 seconds with 97% performance certainty
• Includes a TDR (Time Domain Reflectometer) for accurate length measurements and to aide in locating cabling faults by providing distance to short/open information
• Alligator clips allow testing of speaker, alarm, thermostat, home automation devices, and nearly any other type of control wire

A flexible tool to test any IP device
Internet Protocol (IP) is fast becoming the standard communications protocol for every type of network and home technology device. SIGNALTEKâ?¢ leverages its tri-speed (10/100/1000) Ethernet processor to provide performance and activity testing of any addressable IP device in the network.

• IP pinging can be used to verify the communication of many devices including IP cameras, home automation, and A/V control panels
• Offers network diagnostic tools such as link establishment, port LED blink, and ping
• Supports static and dynamic (DHCP) IP configuration
• Allows multiple target IP and web addresses for pinging several network devices and confirming operation of network switches and routers
