Description
The Ermenrich NetGeeks NP50 multifunctional cable tester is designed for testing STP/UTP network cables of categories 5/5E/6/6A, measuring cable length by the TDR method (within 5–200 m), performing comprehensive diagnostics of telephone and computer networks, and detecting twisted pairs. The device will identify the location of an open circuit or short circuit in the line, measure the approximate distance to the fault, and detect crossed pairs. Maximum length of the cable being tested: 1000 m.
The device has many functions that are useful for specialists who install, maintain and repair networks in industrial, office and home environments. The Ermenrich NetGeeks NP50 can be used to perform Ethernet network tests: PoE (identifies the PSE type and midspan/endspan) and PING (measures packet transmission speed, determines the IP address). The port flash function allows you to quickly identify which port on your router or switch your cable is connected to. Using the visual fault locator (VFL), you can locate network faults based on the light signals at the receiver. There is also light indication in the non-contact voltage detection (NCV) function. All diagnostic results are displayed on the colour TFT screen of the transmitter.
Main features:
- PSE identification according to IEEE 802.3at/af/bt and non-standard
- Cable length measurement 5–200 m with an error of ±3 m
- The receiver has a flashlight, which is also used for light indication
- Tracing cables, locating broken circuits or short circuits and crossed pairs
- Comprehensive network diagnostics with PoE, VFL, NCV, PING, QC tests
The kit includes:
- Transmitter
- Receiver
- Connecting cable RJ11
- Connecting cable RJ45
- Crocodile-type clip
- USB Type-C cable
- Carrying bag User manual and warranty card
