PC Repair Tools Professional Network Installer Tool Kit Installation Manual CTK400LAN
1 Overview The StarTech.com Professional LAN Installation Tool kit provides all the necessary tools to install and test RJ45 networks in a compact, handy, carrying case. Tools included are: a RJ45/11 Crimp tool, a 110/66 Impact Punch Tool, a wire stripper, several RJ45 connectors, and a RJ45 network cable tester with remote loopback plug (same as the StarTech.com REMOTETEST tester).
2 5. Insert the RJ45/RJ11 plug into the crimping tool as far as possible. There are two modules: a 6-way one for RJ11 connectors (used on phone jacks) and an 8-way one for RJ45 connectors used on computer jacks. Close the tool as firmly as you can to crimp the plug into the cable. 6. Repeat steps 2- 5 for the other end of the cable. Stripping Copper Pairs Stripper Punch down tool for use on 110/88 type of termination 1. Prepare the wire that you want to strip.
3 MAN: A metropolitan area network (MAN) is larger than a LAN. It normally covers a city-sized area and reaches a size several kilometers. WAN: A wide area network (WAN) includes all networks. A WAN interconnects LASs that may be located in different countries. Appendix B Copper Pairs 1. Most LANs employing copper wires use two pairs: one pair in each direction and all twisted-pair are baseband. 2. Pairs must be twisted. This minimizes the EMI interface and radiation. 3.
Wiring Testers Remote Cable Tester for RJ45 RJ11 and BNC Installation Manual REMOTETEST
1 Overview The StarTech.com REMOTETEST cable tester is a palm-sized unit with four kinds of connectors: RJ45, RJ11, USB and BNC, for the testing of today’s most popular media. This unit can be used to verify the condition of cables, both before and after their installation. The separable passive module is connected to the remote end of the installed network cabling. The tester also offers easy operating; the user begins by testing by simply pushing a button.
2 To test the cables already installed (RJ45, RJ11, USB and BNC): 1. Connect one end of the cable to the master’s proper connector. 2. Separate the remote module, then connect it to the cable’s remote point. 3. Press the test button. 4. When the LEDs stop flashing the result is ready to be read. Note 1: Do not connect the tester to a live circuit. Note 2: Do not test more than one cable simultaneously. To test Ethernet 10Base2/10Base5 terminator value (BNC): 1.
3 Connected Test When LEDs for Connected, S, and 1...8 LED are on and the tester beeps three times, it means the shielding and indicated wires are pin-to-pin connected between cable’s two ends. For instance, if a standard Ethernet 10BaseT unshielded twisted-paired cable (UTP) are tested, the LEDs for Connected, Wire 1, 2, 3 and 6 will turn on. Note: If there is only one wire connected inside a cable between the cable’s two ends, the tester will state no wire connected.
4 Appendix A - LED Indicators The Remote Cable Tester has a total of 14 LEDs, 9 horizontal indicating each individual wire inside a cable, and 5 vertical displaying a cable connection status. You can read the result from the combination of lit horizontal and vertical LEDs. • S (Yellow) Shielding • C/1 (Yellow) Center of coaxial cable (BNC) or wire a of TP cable (RJ45), telephone cord (RJ11) or USB • 2, 3, 4, ...8 (Yellow) Wire 2, 3, 4, ...
