LAN cabling questions answered...
Is a hub/switch/PC connected to my cable? See example 4.
Does my hub/switch/PC require 2 or 4 pair cable. See example 4.
What pairs are terminated in my cable? See example 6.
Where is my cable in the wiring closet? See example 5.
What hub/switch port is my PC using? See example 5.
Is my cabling straight thru or crossover? See example 6.
Does a cable have inverted pairs or other faults? See example 6.
The TVR1000 is comprised of two units: The “Main unit” and the
“Remote Probe.” The Main unit performs the bulk of the tests such as
determining the LAN device type (is it a hub or PC?); the LAN speed
(10,100,1000 MB/s); duplex (full, half); and PoE detection without the
need of the Remote Probe. The Remote Probe adds the ability to trace
cable locations (by audibly tracing tones placed on the cable by the Main
Unit) and to test the wiring of the cable (by decoding and displaying
wiring information placed on the cable by the Main Unit).
Broad capabilities: TVR1000 helps you locate faulty hubs, switches,
PCs , cables and cable connections that are stopping or limiting the
performance of your LAN. And, if you install devices that require PoE,
it detects whether it is available. These capabilities make the TVR1000
useful whether you install or maintain LANs and LAN devices.
Designed specifically for 10, 100 and 1000 Base-T LANs: The
TVR1000 tests devices and cabling designed to the 10, 100 and 1000
Base-T standard. This includes wiring paired to EIA(TIA)568B (also
called AT&T258A or simply “AT&T”) and EIA(TIA)568A. EIA(TIA)568B
is the most popular scheme for Base-T cabling. EIA(TIA)568A is the
most popular scheme for ISDN cabling. USOC pairing (typically used
for telephones) is not compatible with the 10, 100 or 1000 Base-T
standard and is therefore not tested by the TVR1000.
