CTK-CKAL Check-All Universal Cable Tester

Overview:

Addlogix’s CTK-CKAL Check-All Universal Cable Tester is equipped with two microprocessors that allow the tester to check up to 5 twisted pairs (10 pins) of shielded or unshielded patch cables. The Check-All also comes with built-in tone generator to allow users to quickly trace wiring using tone probes. The secondary “twin” unit is designed to provide the same function as the main unit as it offers the same LED display to provide

the same result as the main unit, and it also has its own pair of TX / RX ports to conduct testing on its own.

Features:

Test RJ45 (8P8C) as well as RJ48 (10P10C) cables

Provides pin-by-pin configuration of 1-10 pin cables

Traces cable / network port with its built-in tone generator

Checks datacomm / network, voice / telecomm, cross over and shielded cables for shorts, opens, crossed pairs, and mis-wiring

Provide test results on both the main test unit and the secondary test unit

Auto off with low battery indicator prevents misreads

Great for home office and commercial network installations and maintenance

Operations:

1.Testing a Cable: Since test results are available on both the main and the secondary test units, plug on end of the cable into the main test unit’s TX socket and the other end to the secondary test unit’s RX socket. Simply push the “On/Mode” button to display the test results.

2.Available Test Modes: Set the tester at different testing modes by using the “On/Mode” buttons.

a.TX RX test mode: Press On/Mode once to allow test signals are sent from the TX port through the cable into the RX port

LED will illuminate in sequence one at a time on both the main unit and
