Tempo NC-500 NETcat Pro 2 Structured Wiring Troubleshooter
The Tempo Communications NC-500 NETcat Pro 2 is a digital structured wiring troubleshooter designed for comprehensive one-touch verification of network cables and services. It provides rapid and accurate diagnostics for shielded twisted-pair (STP), unshielded twisted-pair (UTP), and coaxial cables. Engineered for network professionals, it efficiently evaluates active network devices on 10/100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet (802.3) networks while detecting PoE capabilities.
Key Features
- TDR Length Measurement: Integrated pulsed Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) precisely determines cable length from 0 to 2,000 feet across all pairs.
- Wire-Mapping Diagnostics: Performs patch cable and remote jack wire-map testing to detect shorts, opens, reversed, crossed, and split pairs.
- Network & PoE Detection: Identifies active network devices (PC or hub), displays network capabilities, and detects Power over Ethernet (PoE) source devices.
- Cable Tracing: Generates four distinct, precision tones for tracing low-loss network cables such as CAT 5.
- Touch-Screen Interface: Features a graphical touch-screen display equipped with contrast adjustment and a backlight for optimal visibility in varying lighting conditions.
- Durable & Serviceable: Includes a field-replaceable "F" type connector and non-volatile memory for its Memo Pad/reminder feature.
