W-STAR WSSC8108 Network Multifunctional UTP Cable Tester for RJ45, STP, and Telephone Lines with LCD Display and Length Measurement
The W-STAR WSSC8108 Network Multifunctional UTP Cable Tester is an advanced tool designed for comprehensive cable verification and troubleshooting. Equipped with an LCD display and supporting length measurement, this device helps technicians and network installers efficiently check cable connections, verify wiring correctness, and pinpoint faults across various cable types including RJ45, STP, telephone, and coaxial lines.
This network cable tester offers high measurement accuracy and reliable error detection for professional network maintenance. It processes data efficiently on Cat 5e, Cat 6, and telephone lines, providing clear visual feedback via its built-in LCD display. The device is capable of measuring cable lengths up to 350 meters with 97 percent calibration accuracy, significantly reducing troubleshooting time during network installations. Furthermore, the automatic shutoff feature preserves battery life by turning the unit off after 30 minutes of inactivity.
This device may not be suitable for testing coaxial cables directly out of the box, as it requires an optional BNC to RJ45 reduction adapter that is not included. Additionally, it is primarily designed for standard network and telephone cabling and is not intended for heavy industrial power cable testing.
Connect the cable to be tested to the appropriate input ports on the device. Power on the unit and observe the LCD display for cable diagram mapping and connection status. Use the measurement functions to determine the exact cable length or locate specific faults such as breaks and short circuits. Ensure the calibration cable is longer than 5 meters for precise length measurement. The device will automatically power down after a period of inactivity to save energy.
For optimal performance and accurate length measurement, always use a calibration cable longer than 5 meters and store the tester within the recommended operating temperature range.
