The Lanview TCT1415 network cable tester is a professional diagnostic instrument engineered for testing copper cables and BNC connectors. This device serves as an essential tool for the installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of local area networks, allowing technicians to verify cable integrity and connection accuracy efficiently. Featuring a built-in display and powered by a reliable lithium battery, this diagnostic tool delivers precise results across a variety of networking environments.
Advantages
This network cable tester offers comprehensive testing capabilities including cable continuity checks for RJ45, BNC coaxial, and RJ11 lines to detect issues such as open circuits, crossed wires, short circuits, and split pairs. It includes advanced features like PoE testing, ping testing for data packet loss, and accurate cable length measurement without requiring a remote connection. The hub blink function helps locate network ports easily, while the tone trace feature utilizes AC interference rejection to find target cables without stripping insulation. Additionally, the device supports data collation by saving up to 160 groups of log and measurement data to an internal Micro SD card for export to a computer. Built-in adjustable sensing distance, a voltage detector, and compliance with RoHS, FCC, CE, and ISO 9001 standards further enhance its reliability and usability.
Suitable for
- Testing copper cables and BNC connectors in local area networks
- Verifying cable continuity, wire mapping, and detecting faults like shorts or open circuits
- Measuring cable length and performing PoE testing
- Locating network ports and tracing cables behind walls or ceilings
When it may not be suitable
This device is not designed for testing fiber optic cables or non-copper cabling infrastructures. It may also exceed the requirements of basic residential users who do not need advanced diagnostic features such as ping testing, PoE analysis, and data logging.

How to use
To begin testing, power on the device using the integrated lithium battery and connect the appropriate copper cable to the relevant port such as RJ45, RJ11, or BNC. Use the built-in display and interface to select the desired testing mode, whether checking for continuity, measuring cable length, performing a ping test, or identifying PoE status. For cable tracing, utilize the tone trace feature with adjustable sensing distance to locate specific lines without damaging the insulation. Review results directly on the screen or save measurement data to the internal Micro SD card for subsequent export and analysis on a computer.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that your network infrastructure relies primarily on copper cables and standard connectors like BNC, RJ45, or RJ11
- Assess whether advanced diagnostic functions such as PoE testing, ping testing, and data logging are required for your tasks
- Confirm that the power supply options, including the rechargeable lithium battery, meet your operational workflow
For optimal performance and longevity of your Lanview TCT1415 network cable tester, store the device in a dry environment away from extreme temperatures and ensure the lithium battery is regularly charged when not in use for extended periods.
