Using your Atlas IT
The Atlas IT can be used for
many
types of network
installation or simply for testing
a length of network cable.
The diagram (shown right)
illustrates the simplest case, the
Atlas IT Terminator is connected
at one end of a cable and the
Atlas IT instrument at the other.
The Atlas IT is supplied with two short patch cables to allow for the testing of
network cabling that is accessible only by sockets (or a patch panel). This is
illustrated here:
Ideally, the total cable
length should not exceed
150 metres (500 feet).
Longer lengths may be
analysed without problem
but the overall supported
length is dependant on
factors such as cable
quality, connector quality
and external interference
sources.
