    Specifications for the Platinum Tools LanSeeker™ Cable Tester (TP500C) — a fast, rugged cable tester and tone generator in one unit, built for residential and commercial cable installers.

    Overview

    The LanSeeker displays cable test results using LED indicators on the main and remote unit. When it senses a connection between the main and remote unit, a battery-saving auto-on feature initiates test results within 2 seconds; the tester automatically powers off within 5 seconds of the cable being disconnected. It tests for shorts, opens, miswires, reversals, and split pairs, displaying connection/fault information on a pair-by-pair basis, and generates audio tones for use with tone tracers on all pairs.

    Key Features

    • Displays cable test results on main and remote units in under 2 seconds
    • Immediately detects shorts by plugging in just one end of a cable
    • Identifies shorts, opens, miswires, reversed pairs, and split pairs
    • No on/off switch — automatically starts testing when a connection is sensed
    • Debug mode diagnoses and displays faults one pair at a time
    • Includes tone generator
    • Self-stored detachable remote for mapping and testing cables

    Applications

    • Installation and troubleshooting of twisted pair security and datacom cables
    • Fault identification
    • Tone generation for tracing
    • Supports unshielded or shielded twisted pair
