NC-500 NETcat® Pro2 Wiring Tester

The NETcat® Pro2 is a digital cable and service verification tool for fast, accurate checking of cables, wiring, Power over Ethernet (PoE) and network service. Operated using a back-lit touch screen display, the Pro not only tests wiring continuity and proper pair allocation, but measures the length of multi-pair cables, LAN, or coaxial cables by utilizing advanced high-speed Step TDR (time domain reflectometry).

Additionally, the NETcat® Pro determines if network service is available up to Gigabit and displays whether PoE is provisioned. When used with the NC-510 Accessory Kit containing seven (7) expansion remote test modules, the NETcat Pro can uniquely test coax or twisted pair jacks from a central location, eight (8) at a time. Using a fingertip or the built-in stylus, the screen is used to control and display a range of tests from fault finding the wire-map, to TDR length measurement. The user interface can be set to English, Spanish, German, Russian, Ukraine, or French languages.

Overview

1. CAT 5 and up cabling (both shielded and unshielded) plus coaxial cables can be tested.
2. Pair tracing tones can be generated and applied to various combinations of wires to aid detection.
3. Test and troubleshoot telephone, data, and coax wiring
4. Detect split pairs, short circuits, broken, and crossed wires
5. Step TDR technology shows length to open or short of all pairs
6. Large icons ensure easy use with your finger too
7. Backlit touch-screen used to control all functions
8. Included stylus slots into main unit
9. Tone generator with four selectable precision frequency tones, compatible with Tempo advanced digital signal processing probes
10. Identifies active network devices on 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet (802.3) networks both half and full duplex.
11. Identifies PoE (source device detection).
12. Memo Pad/reminder feature: stored in non-volatile memory.
13. Field replaceable “F” type connector.
14. Graphical touch screen display with contrast adjustment and backlight.
15. Tests shielded twisted pair (STP), unshielded twisted pair (UTP), and coaxial cables.
16. 0-2,000 foot (600 Meter) cable length via step TDR.
17. Sub-nanosecond resolution ensures this cable verifier is one of the most precise on the market, spotting errors that simple low speed wire-mappers miss.
18. Patch cable and remote jack wire-map and identification using the self-contained "Office-ID/Remote" unit that neatly stores in the bottom of the main unit.
19. Detects shorts, opens, reversed, crossed, and split pairs.
20. Office identification using remote ID units - up to 8 different IDs, one included, seven additional available in NC-510 accessory kit.
21. Troubleshoots and verifies a wide range of networks.
22. Generate four distinct, precision tones for tracing low-loss cables like Cat 5.
23. Compatible with Tempo precision digital probes.
24. Operates on a single 9V battery, with low battery indicator.
