The Triplett Real World Certifier (RWC1000K) and Network Tester is break-through technology that brings cable and network certification and testing to a whole new level of reality. Unlike traditional certifiers, the RWC uses digital circuitry and digital testing techniques to perform its tasks. It works with UTP and all Ethernet devices. These tests include traditional TIA568 cable verification (length, opens, shorts, split pairs, wire ) for UTP (unshielded twisted pair). Plus, RWC's own sophisticated crosstalk, timing and cable parameter tests yield a UTP cable's category (CAT3, CAT5, CAT5E, CAT6) and speed capability (10, 100, 1000 MB). And if you wish, the RWC can use your own network devices (hubs, switches, PCs) to test UTP cables with real live data. The Real World Certifier analyzes links and data from all types of hubs, switches and PCs. It performs both single sided tests for advertised speed (10, 100, 1000 MB and duplex) and inline tests (between devices) for negotiated speed. The engine of the RWC circuitry is capable of 1 nanosecond resolution. It also works with coax cable and can test for the length of the cable, opens, shorts, wire and distance to any faults that might exist. As with UTP, coax can be traced with the toner feature and test results can be stored for later printing in the RWC's flash memory. The Real World Certifier has two levels of verification/certification. RWC Level 1: Performed with the Main Unit and the Remote Probe, Level 1 tests the cable for length; opens, shorts, split pairs and distance to the fault; wire (displays cable wiring); Both NEXT and FEXT (crosstalk tests); propagation delay (time to transit cable); skew (time delay between pairs); cable category (CAT3, 5, 5E, 6); and speed projection (10, 100, 1000 MB). RWC Level 2: Includes all Level 1 tests plus takes advantage of a real live data source (hub, switch or PC) to test for attenuation and device type. The result is RWC Level 2 speed certification of both the cable and the LAN device. Note: no RWC certification tests are performed on coax cable. Founded in 1904, U.S.-based Triplett Test Equipment continues to be on the leading edge of specialized testers. Whether supplying vital test equipment to the U.S. Signal Corps during WWII, or providing the railroad industry with essential testers to ensure the safety of their crews and the public, Triplett prides itself on developing innovative, reliable, and durable test equipment that also won't break the bank. Triplett's catalog contains a wide array of test equipment parts and accessories such as multimeters, voltmeters, cable testers, security cameras and security camera accessories, wire cable ping kits, video monitors, and other specialty testers. They serve industries such as HVAC, security, electronics and electrical, telecom, and more.
