Description
The Ermenrich NetGeeks NP45 multifunctional cable tester is a specialised device for testing a large number of parameters of telephone, computer and twisted-pair networks, as well as for detecting cable faults and broken circuits, determining the presence of voltage, and more. The tester offers functions that enable professionals to install, diagnose and repair networks efficiently in office, home and industrial environments.
The port flash function of the tester can help you find the cable connected to the network port of the switch or router. The device has an NCV function for contactless detection of dangerous voltage. The device can also perform a PoE test, which helps determine the PSE type and detects midspan/endspan. The VFL (visual fault locator) function allows you to detect bends and damage in the cable using the device's light signals. Ermenrich NetGeeks NP45 can be used to measure cable length using the TDR method (in the range from 2.5 to 200 m). The maximum cable length covered during testing is 600 m.
The device is designed for testing STP/UTP network cables of categories 5E/6/6A, as well as for additional detection of telephone and electrical cables.
