• Cable Performance Testers• Voltage Event Recorders• Butt Set• Crossover Cable• Tone Generator & Locator• Multimeter
• Cable Continuity Tester• Network Monitor• Protocol Analyzer• Wireless Network Tester
Cable Performance Testers• Cost: $4,000 - $30,000• Distance• Attenuation• Cross talk• Termination resistance• Rate standards
Voltage Event Recorders• Cost: $5000• Voltage standards
• Cost: $85 - $450• Quality test
Butt Set
Crossover Cable• Direct connection of nodes• Reversed wire pairs• Cost: up to $20
Tone Generator & Tone Locator
• Determine where wires terminate• Sold in a “Toner Probe Kit”• How to use them• Cost: $20 - $500
Multimeter• Isolates network cable
problems• Measures characteristics of
electric currents (voltage, resistance, impedance)
• Cost: $30 - $4000
Cable Continuity Testers• Checks if cable is carrying a signal to
its destination• Copper cable – voltage• Fiber-Optic cable – light pulses• Also used on wires in a UTP or STP
cable
Wireless Network Testers
Network Monitors
Protocol Analyzers
