Shop network cable testers for checking RJ45 Ethernet, modular communications and twisted-pair cabling. Wallco offers continuity testers, wire-map testers, patch-cable testers and LAN troubleshooting tools for installation, maintenance and field service.
Compare testers by supported connector types, wire-map capability, remote testing, continuity functions and the types of network cabling being installed or serviced.
Network cable testers help installers verify newly terminated or existing twisted-pair connections before equipment is placed into service. Depending on the instrument, testing may identify opens, shorts, crossed conductors, reversed pairs and other common wiring faults.
Basic continuity testers confirm that conductors are electrically connected from one end of a cable to the other. They are useful for checking patch cables and basic field terminations where advanced network certification measurements are not required.
Wire-map testers identify conductor order and can help locate crossed, reversed, open or shorted pairs in terminated network cable. This makes them useful after installing RJ45 plugs, keystone jacks and patch-panel connections.
Testers with detachable remote units can check installed cable runs when the two ends are located in different rooms or telecommunications spaces. Verify the supported connector types and maximum testing arrangement before selecting a unit.
Portable cable testers can quickly verify suspect patch cords and help technicians distinguish cabling faults from equipment problems. Some models support several modular connector formats in addition to standard RJ45 Ethernet connections.
Determine whether basic continuity, wire-map diagnostics or more advanced testing is required. Then compare supported RJ45 or modular interfaces, remote-test capability, display style and the types of cable the tester is designed to evaluate.
