- Identification of many fault types including broken wires, shorted wires and swapped wires.
- Tests all 8 signal lines. (Shielding not tested).
- Display of standard wiring colours.
- Compatible with optional identified terminators, great for multiple cable runs.
- Protected against voltages present on live voice and data systems.
- 24 month warranty.
Please note, this is not suitable for accepting RJ11 style plugs unless you use the optional adapter (included as standard with the UTP05e). Using this instrument with RJ11 plugs will cause damage to it's socket. See here for further information. You can add a pair of RJ11-RJ45 adapters to the standard package at the bottom of this page.
The Intelligent Choice The Atlas IT has always been a fabulous tool for identifying and analysing Cat5/5e/6 (RJ45) based network cables, sockets and patch panels. Now this instrument features new intelligent software that can identify cable configurations even if there are faults in the cabling. It will even tell you the differences that it has detected between your faulty cable and the intended cable configuration.
Simply connect one end of your network cable to the Atlas IT and the other end to the Atlas IT Terminator and press the test button. Within seconds, the Atlas IT will analyse the full connection pattern between one end of the cable and the other end. It then instantly identifies the cable type (based on the connection pattern) and displays this on it's easy-to-read green-mode display. |
The Atlas IT now features an enhanced cable library, enabling the intelligent identification of cable configuration, such as: "Straight-Through Patch Cables", "Crossover Cables", "Token Ring Cables", "Ethernet Economiser/Splitter Adapters" and many more.
If any problems in the cabling are detected, such as shorted, swapped or missing connections, then the Atlas IT will clearly identify these on it's display, showing exactly which connections require attention.
Shielded cables can be tested too, but only the 8 lines are analysed, not the shielding connection itself. |

If you are not sure how to wire a certain type of network cable then the Atlas IT can be used as a quick reference guide too. Wiring instructions can be displayed on screen whenever you require and then the Atlas IT can be used to test the cable you have just made. | |
