®
Virtual Cable Tester (VCT)
Technology. The VCT virtually diagnose and report cable faults using the
Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR). With this tool, installation and network
diagnosis has never been easier. The VCT technology detects and reports
open and shorted cables with up to 1 meter of accuracy. It also detects
impedance mismatches, pair swaps, pair polarity problems and pair skew
problems of up to 64ns.
VCT remarkably reduces networking and support costs complementing a
highly manageable and controlled network system.This application can
also be incorporated in the network systems software making it an ideal
tool for field support and development diagnostics.
