1. PRODUCT OVERVIEW

This product is a multifunction intelligent Ethernet/network cable finder designed for network installation, troubleshooting and maintenance.

The set consists of:

• 1 × Receiver
• 1 × Transmitter

It can be used for cable tracing, cable sequence checking, continuity/QC testing, network port flashing, POE checking, RJ45 network cable testing, RJ11 telephone line testing and NCV detection.

It is suitable for networking technicians, telecommunications installers, electricians, CCTV installers, IT support personnel and general network maintenance work.

2. MAIN FUNCTIONS

Cable Finding / Cable Tracing

The cable finder can help locate a specific network cable from a group or bundle of cables.

The Transmitter sends a signal through the cable while the Receiver is used to trace and locate the target cable.

The Receiver has an adjustable sensitivity knob so the user can adjust the detection sensitivity according to the working environment.

Cable Sequence Test

The device can check the wiring sequence of an Ethernet cable.

The sequence indicators include:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
G

This function helps the user identify whether the cable conductors are connected in the correct sequence.

QC / Continuity Test

The device supports cable continuity/QC testing.

It can assist the user in checking whether the cable connection is continuous and identifying common wiring problems.

Do not tell customers that the device can certify network cable performance.

It is a cable tester/tracer, not a professional CAT5/CAT6 certification analyser.

Network Port Flashing

The device supports network port flashing / port identification.

This function can help identify which network switch port is connected to a particular cable.

It is useful when many network cables are connected to the same network switch.

POE Testing

The device supports POE-related checking through the POE interface.

If a customer asks whether it supports POE:

Answer:

"Yes, this cable finder supports POE checking."

Do not claim that it can accurately measure POE voltage, wattage, current, IEEE class or POE standard unless such information is specifically available in the product specification.

RJ45 Network Cable Testing

The product supports RJ45 Ethernet/network cable testing.

According to the product specification, it is suitable for:

• CAT5
• CAT6

If a customer asks about CAT5e:

Explain that CAT5e normally uses the same RJ45 connection and may be tested for basic continuity/sequence, but do not claim CAT5e certification capability.

If the customer asks about CAT6A, CAT7 or CAT8, do not automatically claim compatibility.

Reply that the stated specification is CAT5/CAT6 and higher-category cable certification is not specified.

RJ11 Telephone Line Function

The Transmitter is equipped with an RJ11 interface and supports telephone line-related testing.

It can be used when working with compatible RJ11 telephone wiring.

NCV Detection

The Receiver includes an NCV function.

NCV means:

Non-Contact Voltage Detection.

It can help detect the presence of nearby AC electrical voltage without directly contacting the conductor.

The Receiver includes:

• NCV button
• NCV indicator light

Important:

NCV is intended as an auxiliary detection function.

Do not describe the product as a professional electrical safety tester or substitute for a certified voltage tester.

3. RECEIVER FUNCTIONS

The Receiver includes:

• Probe
• Flashlight
• Adjustable sensitivity knob
• NCV indicator light
• Power indicator light
• Sound indicator light
• Cable sequence indicator light
• SCAN button
• NCV button
• LED / Lighting button
• QC indicator light
• RJ45 interface
• USB charging interface
• Charging indicator light

The Receiver is mainly used to locate and trace the cable signal sent by the Transmitter.

4. TRANSMITTER FUNCTIONS

The Transmitter includes:

• RJ11 interface
• RJ45 interface
• QC interface
• Toggle switch
• Power indicator
• Flashing indicator
• Telephone line indicator
• Mid-span indicator
• End-span indicator
• Cable sequence indicators
• SCAN / Cable Finding button
• Flash button
• QC button
• POE interface
• USB charging interface
• Charging indicator light

The Transmitter is mainly used to send the testing/tracing signal into the cable and perform cable-related tests.
