Paladin Tools NC-500

The NETcat® Pro2 is a digital cable and service verification tool for fast, accurate checking of cables, wiring, and network service. Operated using a back-lit touch screen display, the Pro not only tests wiring continuity and proper pair allocation, but measures the length of multi-pair cables, LAN, or coaxial cables by utilizing advanced high-speed Step TDR (time domain reflectometry). Additionally, the NETcat® Pro determines if network service is available up to Gigabit and displays whether Power over Ethernet is provisioned. When used with the NC-510 Accessory Kit containing seven (7) expansion remote test modules, the NETcat Pro can uniquely test coax or twisted pair jacks from a central location, eight (8) at a time. Using a fingertip or the built-in stylus, the screen can be used to control and display a range of tests from fault finding the wire-map, to TDR length measurement. The display can be set to English, Spanish, German, or French language.

• CAT 5 and up cabling (both shielded and unshielded) plus coaxial cables can be tested.
• Pair tracing tones can be generated and applied to various combinations of wires to aid detection.
• Test and troubleshoot telephone, data, and coax wiring
• Detect split pairs, short circuits, broken, and crossed wires
• Step TDR technology shows length to open or short of all pairs
• Large icons ensure easy use with your finger too
• Backlit touch-screen used to control all functions
• Included stylus slots into main unit
• Tone generator with four selectable precision frequency tones, compatible with Tempo advanced digital signal processing probes
• Identifies active network devices on 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet (802.3) networks both half and full duplex.
• Identifies PoE (source device detection).
• Memo Pad/reminder feature: stored in non-volatile memory.
• Field replaceable “F” type connector.
• Graphical touch screen display with contrast adjustment and backlight.
• Tests shielded twisted pair (STP), unshielded twisted pair (UTP), and coaxial cables.
• 0-2,000 foot (600 Meter) cable length via step TDR.
• Sub-nanosecond resolution ensures this cable verifier is one of the most precise on the market, spotting errors that simple low speed wire-mappers miss.
• Patch cable and remote jack wire-map and identification using the self-contained "Office-ID/Remote" unit that neatly stores in the bottom of the main unit.
• Detects shorts, opens, reversed, crossed, and split pairs.
• Office identification using remote ID units - up to 8 different IDs, one included, seven additional available in NC-510 accessory kit.
• Troubleshoots and verifies a wide range of networks.
• Generate four distinct, precision tones for tracing low-loss cables like Cat 5.
• Operates on a single 9V battery, with low battery indicator.
• Compatible with Tempo precision digital probes.
