Hello again. Today we are going to have a look at a cool new network testing product from Ideal Industries – the Ideal R156002 SignalTEK CT Data Cable Transmission Ethernet Tester. This is basically a pared down cable certifier to meet the demand for a high tech cable wiremapping and performance tester but cut the cost of a full fledged certifier.

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.
