The ByteBrothers RWC1000NP Real World Certifier Kit is the ideal tester for UTP Cables and LAN devices. The RWC1000NP Real World Certifier performs all standard cable tests, including cable propagation delay, skew, attenuation, cable verification, opens, shorts, split pairs, and splits distance The RWC1000NP performs real speed tests on cables, switches, hubs, and PCs; it furthermore carries out basic testing for coax cables. In addition, the RWC1000NP allows for cable "typing" (CAT 3, 5, 5E, 6) and displays easy-to-read graphs of test results.

Works with UTP and All Ethernet Devices

Unlike traditional certifiers, the RWC1000NP uses digital circuitry and digital testing techniques to perform its tasks. These tests include traditional TIA568 cable verification (length, opens, shorts, split pairs, wire map) for UTP (unshielded twisted pair) as well as the RWC1000NP's own sophisticated crosstalk, timing and cable parameter tests that yield a UTP cable's category (CAT3, CAT5, CAT5E, CAT6) and speed capability (10, 100, 1000 MB)! The RWC1000NP can also use your own network devices (hubs, switches, PCs) to test UTP cables with real live data. The RWC1000NP furthermore analyzes links and data from all types of hubs, switches and PCs. It performs both single-sided tests for advertised speed (10, 100, 1000 MB and duplex) and inline tests (between devices) for negotiated speed. The engine of the RWC1000NP circuitry is capable of 1 nanosecond resolution.

Works with Coax Cable

Use the RWC1000NP to test for the length of the cable, opens, shorts, wiremap and distance to any faults that might exist. As with UTP, coax can be toned with the toner feature and test results can be stored for later printer in the RWC1000NP's flash memory. No Real World Certification tests are performed on coax cable.
