Components

1. LPV Main Unit

The Main Unit connects to any CAT 5/6, coax cable or 10, 100, or 1000BASE-T device and performs tests needed for their instal- lation and repair. For certain tests, it can be inserted inline between two LAN devices.

2. Main Unit Jacks

Left, Coax, and Right: Use the left jack for UTP testing. Use the right jack for network testing.

3. “Printer” port

Use to transfer stored testing data (up to 250 tests) to a PC. This requires Excel. USB data-transfer cable is included.
