The Triplett/ByteBrothers RWC1000K Real World Certifier Kit is the ideal tester for UTP Cables and LAN devices. The RWC1000K Real World Certifier performs all standard cable tests, including cable propagation delay, skew, attenuation, cable verification, opens, shorts, split pairs, and splits distance The RWC1000K performs real speed tests on cables, switches, hubs, and PCs; it furthermore carries out basic testing for coax cables. In addition, the RWC1000K allows for cable "typing" (CAT 3, 5, 5E, 6) and displays easy-to-read graphs of test results. Test results may be stored for later printing.
Works with UTP and All Ethernet Devices
Unlike traditional certifiers, the RWC1000K 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 RWC1000K'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 RWC1000K can also use your own network devices (hubs, switches, PCs) to test UTP cables with real live data. The RWC1000K 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 RWC1000K circuitry is capable of 1 nanosecond resolution.
Works with Coax Cable
Use the RWC1000K 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 RWC1000K's flash memory. No Real World Certification tests are performed on coax cable.
