Wiring Tester Remote Cable Tester for RJ45 RJ11 and BNC Installation Manual REMOTETEST
1 Overview The StarTech.com REMOTETEST cable tester is a palm-sized unit with four kinds of connectors: RJ45, RJ11, USB and BNC, for the testing of today’s most popular media. This unit can be used to verify the condition of cables, both before and after their installation. The separable passive module is connected to the remote end of the installed network cabling. The tester also offers easy operating; the user begins by testing by simply pushing a button.
2 To test the cables already installed (RJ45, RJ11, USB and BNC): 1. Connect one end of the cable to the master’s proper connector. 2. Separate the remote module, then connect it to the cable’s remote point. 3. Press the test button. 4. When the LEDs stop flashing the result is ready to be read. Note 1: Do not connect the tester to a live circuit. Note 2: Do not test more than one cable simultaneously. To test Ethernet 10Base2/10Base5 terminator value (BNC): 1.
3 Connected Test When LEDs for Connected, S, and 1...8 LED are on and the tester beeps three times, it means the shielding and indicated wires are pin-to-pin connected between cable’s two ends. For instance, if a standard Ethernet 10BaseT unshielded twisted-paired cable (UTP) are tested, the LEDs for Connected, Wire 1, 2, 3 and 6 will turn on. Note: If there is only one wire connected inside a cable between the cable’s two ends, the tester will state no wire connected.
4 Appendix A - LED Indicators The Remote Cable Tester has a total of 14 LEDs, 9 horizontal indicating each individual wire inside a cable, and 5 vertical displaying a cable connection status. You can read the result from the combination of lit horizontal and vertical LEDs. • S (Yellow) Shielding • C/1 (Yellow) Center of coaxial cable (BNC) or wire a of TP cable (RJ45), telephone cord (RJ11) or USB • 2, 3, 4, ...8 (Yellow) Wire 2, 3, 4, ...
