2.1 Description
Features:
The Lancaster Pro ST, is a hand held structured cabling tester and trouble
shooter, designed for use on screened and unscreened cables. Fitted with
RJ45 connectors and wired to either TIA568 A/B, U.S.O.C or I.S.D.N
standards. It will store up to 1,000 test results for downloading to P.C to
produce an installation test report, showing time and date of test, wiring
standard, installed cable length, pass/fail result and location of site tested.
All test results for display textually and graphically along with cable length,
wiring standard, V.P, an outlet address and smart remote ID number,
audible pass/fail tone is emitted by the main unit with a red/green pass/fail
LED on the remote unit.
When plugged into an active port it will emit an audible tone if telephone
voltages are present on any of the pins and will identify 10 base T. Token
Ring and 100 Mbit connections and inhibit testing, in the presence of live
circuits an inbuilt tone generator can be selected for cable tracing.
