T3 Innovation (Camarillo, CA), a provider of handheld test equipment for cable/telecommunications, datacom/networking, electrical design and maintenance, and residential/CEDIA custom install applications, announced that its newly launched Net Chaser Ethernet speed certifier is now shipping. Made in the U.S., the new Ethernet Speed Certifier tester performs wiremap testing, measures cable length, performs a Bit Error Rate test, as well as Signal to Noise Ratio, and SKEW testing to ensure that cabling will perform to its maximum speed rating up to 1 Gigabit per second.
According to T3, the Net Chaser includes a diverse feature set for testing active network capabilities, allowing technicians to: measure Power over Ethernet (PoE) to ensure the correct power is available on the correct pins, use Port Discovery to ensure the correct speed and duplex capability are available; connect at gigabit Ethernet and run ping tests to verify connectivity to IP hosts; discover network devices using Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) or Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP); VLAN discovery; Traceroute function displays the path internet packets travel to reach a specified destination.
