Whether you need to verify the maximum speed your copper cabling can support (up to 10 Gigabit), confirm wiremap and pinouts, locate faults with TDR, or measure fiber length and loss against IEEE standards from 1G to 100G, the SignalTEK™ QT Pro delivers fast, accurate answers.
With Wi-Fi qualification included, you can also analyze channel overlap, signal strength, AP utilization, and device distribution, all before connecting to the network.
In this hands-on, scenario-driven session, we’ll walk through a real-world workflow using the SignalTEK QT Pro to validate copper, fiber, and Wi-Fi performance end to end. We’ll begin by qualifying each medium to ensure it supports required Ethernet speeds and wireless coverage. Once cabling and Wi-Fi are confirmed, we’ll use the QT Pro’s diagnostics to verify connectivity, internet access, switch port details, VLANs, and PoE capability. You’ll also see how NetScan identifies every device on the network, verifies VLAN assignments, and uncovers additional VLANs.
Finally, we’ll show you how to upload results to TREND AnyWARE™ Cloud and generate professional, branded PDF reports to prove network readiness. From cable to cloud, you can depend on the SignalTEK QT Pro.
Key Takeaways – You’ll Learn How To:
• Qualify copper and fiber links to guarantee the network supports required speeds.
• Confirm wiremap, pinouts, and faults with TDR to pinpoint issues quickly.
• Assess Wi-Fi overlap and coverage to avoid costly performance gaps.
• Validate connectivity, VLANs, PoE, and switch details to streamline troubleshooting.
• Identify devices with NetScan to see the full picture of your network.
• Upload results and generate reports using TREND AnyWARE Cloud to prove performance and win client confidence.
