The Triplett/ByteBrothers TVR10/100/1000 LAN Tester is comprised of a "Main unit" and a "Remote Probe". The Main unit performs the bulk of the tests, such as determining the LAN device type (is it a hub/switch or PC?), the LAN speed and duplex (10, 100, 1000 MB/s, half or full duplex) and whether PoE (Power over Ethernet) is present without the need of the Remote Probe. The Remote Probe adds the ability to trace cable locations (by audibly tracing tones placed on the cable by the Main Unit) and to test the wiring of the cable (by decoding and displaying wiring information placed on the cable by the Main Unit).

Broad Capabilities

TVR10/100/1000 helps you locate faulty hubs, PCs or cable connections that are stopping or limiting the performance of your 10, 100 and 1000 Base-T LAN. You can even go inline between two LAN devices and determine the final negotiated speed and duplex of the link. Designed for both the LAN installer and repair person, it is useful documenting legacy LANs, installing and repairing LANs or adding equipment to existing LANs.

Designed Specifically for 10, 100 and 1000 Base-T LANs

The TVR10/100/1000 has been designed to test LAN devices and cabling to the 10, 100 and 1000 Base-T standard. This includes wiring paired to EIA(TIA)568B (also called AT&T258A or simply "AT&T"); and EIA(TIA)568A. EIA(TIA)568B is the most popular scheme for 10, 100 and 1000 Base-T cabling, while EIA(TIA)568A is the most popular scheme for ISDN cabling. USOC pairing (typically used for telephones) is not compatible with the Base-T standard and is therefore not tested by the TVR10/100/1000.

Multiple Test Sets in One Tester

To accomplish its goals, the TVR10/100/1000 performs tests that, prior to the TVR10/100/1000, required 7 different test sets. The multi-functionality is integrated to provide a combination of quick results that are not available in any other tester. The creative combination of these tests and other features yield an efficient, time-saving tester.
