The Net Chaser is a proven product that does just that, and the new Deluxe Kit puts everything the installer needs within arm\u2019s length and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">with protection from whatever the job site throws at them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To certify Ethernet speed performance of cable runs, the Net Chaser conducts Bit Error Rate (BER) tests by sending data packets down specified cable runs at defined data rates to check for errors at the maximum throughput of the link. The Net Chaser reports on signal quality that can impact high-speed data transmission by measuring signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Skew measurements report on the signal time delay between pairs that can impact Gigabit data transmission. Finally, the Net Chaser unit provides continuity testing that detects opens, shorts, miswires, split pairs, reversals, and high-resistance faults while accurately measuring distance to faults and total cable length.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additional feature sets include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Measures and displays length for each pair in feet or meters<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improperly terminated cables are clearly displayed on a color graphical wire-mapping display<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verifies continuity for RJ45 and coax cables<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generates professional test reports with company details and logo<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tone generation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ID only remotes (Network and Coax) &#8211; up to 20 available<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Testing and ID remotes &#8211; up to eight available.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Net Chaser also includes a comprehensive set of features for testing active network capabilities, including measure Power over Ethernet (PoE) to ensure the correct power is available on the correct pins, use Port Discovery to ensure the correct speed and duplex capability are available; connect at gigabit Ethernet and run ping tests to verify connectivity to IP hosts; discover network devices using Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) or Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP); VLAN discovery; Traceroute function displays the path internet packets travel to reach a specified destination.
