The epic saga of the FLIR “How to Choose” summaries continues with this third installment. This time around we are taking a look at the E series cameras with particular regard to electrical and mechanical applications. FLIR’s video lists the same jobs as in its i-series videos but notes that the E series is most useful for applications that require more frequent thermal camera use.

                Managing an Ethernet Network System can be very disheartening depending on the size of the system. Most systems are housed in a central location with cables running wild as if Hulkamania was in full effect. (You’d have to say your prayers and eat your vitamins to find anything.) Being able to get accurate cable lengths or even seeing which cables run where can be a nightmare. T3 Innovation has developed the new CB300 Cable Prowler to make this task a lot easier.

      Accurately finding network cable length, opens, and shorts is the bread and butter of many a business. The T3 Innovation SS200 Snap Shot does this perfectly, making it a….Snap. All bad puns aside, this lightweight (12ozs!) tester uses Spread Spectrum Time Domain Reflectometry to bring TDR technology into the 21^st Century.

Providing clients with proof that your work is installed properly is becoming more and more commonplace. Companies spend a lot of money to have networks installed in their offices and they want some guarantee that things are what you say they are. The Byte Brothers Real World Certifier does exactly that. In some respects, the RWC1000K is similar to the LVPRO3 that I reviewed last week. What I mean by this is that it will identify split pairs, distances to open/shorts and give you an accurate cable length.
