Doss LCT8 Pro Coax & Lan Cable Tester Locates Distance to the Fault/Coaxial/Wire

Great piece of equipment

Just what I needed to trace problem cables and locate faults, makes fault diagnostics easy giving a precise location for where to look for a damaged cable. This is an easy to use piece of equipment I would recommend to anyone involved with coaxial, phone or network cabling. This takes the guess work out of the job a real time saving device, also handy for measuring the length of cable in any given run. Im not sure how I ever got by without one of these.

The LCT8 is a great tester for people doing communicationinstallations and maintenance, as it provides quick verification of several common types of communication problems in structured LAN wiring, coaxial cabling and telephone wiring.

 

  • Find the open circuits, short circuits, jumpers, crossed or split pairs in coax and UTP cables. 
  • Identifies and locates the distance to an open or a short in seconds
    • Time-domain reflectometer (TDR)
  • Identify cables using upto 8 (optional) remote terminators
    • Remote adaptors require no extra power
    • 1x remote terminator supplied with LCT8
  • Low battery indication.
  • Measures cable length in a box, on a spool, or in a wall. Know how much cable you have left on a spool before beginning your pulls.
  • Check for wiring errors in: LAN UTP cables, coaxial cables and telephone lines, such as:
    • open circuit,
    • short circuit,
    • jumper wire,
    • reverse connection,
    • cross talk interface or,
    • split pairs.
  • Locate the wiring or connection error.
  • Dynamically calibrate cable length and make length measurement as accurate as 97%.
  • Simple and easy to use 144 x 64 Dots FSTN LCD screen display test results.
  • Portable unit with long battery life.
  • Automatic time delay shut off.
  • Measure length and pair without the need for remote terminator.
  • 1x Remote terminator with audible alert supplied.
  • Self-checking function and automatic compensation for any change in battery capacity or ambient temperature.
  • Dimensions: 195 x 93 x 38mm (LCD display: 69 x 38mm)
  • Locate/Identify cables with up to 8 remote passive test jacks
    • Note: Only 1x passive terminator supplied (ID01)
    • 7x extra optional passive terminators available: LCT8RM
