Universal network cable tester with PoE, tracking, length measurement, and continuity checking functions with ALANTEC screen

ALANTEC NI057 is a universal tool for network cable searching, testing, and diagnostics, and it also allows for precise measurement of their length and checking of PoE status. The tester offers three cable tracking modes (digital, analog, and PoE), which allow for adapting the workflow to different conditions.

The continuity testing function allows for quick identification of STP and UTP cable connection issues, such as breaks, short circuits, and poor cross-connections, without risking further damage to the cables.

With the integrated length meter, the NI057 accurately measures cables from 2.5 m to 500 m in length with 98% accuracy, making it an indispensable tool for planning and verifying network installations. The PoE tester allows for quick checking of voltage, power source polarity, power mode, and standard (af/at), which is very important when configuring network devices.

Key features:

• Network toner – find Ethernet cables using a toner generator and probe. Quick identification of the target cable due to adjustable signal frequency and volume. Three cable tracking modes: digital, analog, and PoE, to suit different working conditions.
• Wire continuity test – quickly diagnose common STP and UTP cable connection issues, such as broken circuits, short circuits, and cross-connections.
• Cable length meter – measures CAT5e, CAT6, and CAT6a cable lengths from 2.5 m to 500 m. High 98% measurement accuracy ensures accurate results.
• PoE test – analysis of Ethernet cable parameters and standards. The tester allows checking of PoE voltage, power source polarity, power mode, and type.
• Port identification (flashing port) – identification of the target port on a switch, router, modem, and other network devices by the flashing signal. Allows for quick port finding without disconnecting all cables.
• NCV voltage detection – the tester has a non-contact voltage detector that enhances work safety when connecting and testing wires.
