Product Information

Full details

The SignalTEK CT is a bi-directional transmission tester for data cables, designed for IT professionals installing and maintaining data cabling. Its key benefit is generating PDF test reports to prove Gigabit Ethernet transmission rates, offering a cost-effective way to demonstrate correct copper cabling installation and support for Ethernet applications, thus confirming a professional job and reducing callbacks. A potential caveat is the reliance on a compatible amplifier probe for cable identification and tracing.

FAQs

What types of cables can the SignalTEK CT test?

The SignalTEK CT supports testing of shielded and unshielded twisted pair copper cables, including Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A, and Cat7 standards.

How do I generate a test report?

After performing a test, you can save the results. Reports can then be displayed in PDF or CSV format and transferred via WiFi using the AnyWARE app.

Can this device test fiber optic cables?

No, the SignalTEK CT is designed specifically for testing copper data cables. It does not perform fiber optic testing.

What is the maximum number of tests the device can store?

The SignalTEK CT has a memory capacity to store up to 5,000 tests.

Do I need a separate tool for cable tracing?

Yes, cable identification and tracing requires a compatible amplifier probe, which is sold separately.

Is the AnyWARE app required for operation?

The AnyWARE app is used for transferring test reports wirelessly. While not strictly required for testing, it is essential for easy report management and sharing.

What is the purpose of the wiremap templates?

Wiremap templates help ensure the correct pin-to-pin connections are verified for various common Ethernet cable types, simplifying the testing process and reducing errors.

Troubleshooting

Device does not power on

Check that the battery is correctly inserted and charged, or ensure the AC adapter is securely connected and the power source is active.

Autotest fails or shows poor performance

Verify that the cable is correctly connected to both ends of the tester. Ensure the cable type selected in the tester matches the installed cable (e.g., Cat6, Cat6A). Check for any physical damage or kinks in the cable run.

Cannot transfer test reports via WiFi

Ensure the SignalTEK CT and the mobile device are connected to the same WiFi network. Verify that the AnyWARE app is installed and up-to-date on the mobile device. Restart both the tester and the mobile device.

Cable tracing is not working

Confirm that a compatible amplifier probe is connected to the SignalTEK CT. Ensure the probe is functioning correctly and is within range of the cable being traced.
