Certi-Lite provides single-ended ANSI/TIA-1152-A complaint channel testing of CAT3 – CAT6A with a clear Pass/Fail indication. For cable contractors, a regular dual ended certification test is necessary for new installations for cable manufacturer’s warranty purpose. For network owners and those that do not have a requirement for dual ended certification, the NSA’s Certi-Lite capability is a perfect tool for qualifying existing cabling for its suitability for new applications, particularly smart building where PoE will be heavily used, but at a significantly lower price point.
Certi-Lite use cases:
- Reassessing the performance of existing cabling against standards requirements such as CAT6A
- Troubleshooting network connectivity and link speed issues
- Documenting cable plant performance
- Moves, Adds, Changes
Test results can be saved to internal memory for later upload to the included TestDataPro results management software. Test Results can also be uploaded to the free TestDataPro Cloud service for offload from tester via wired or wireless network connection.
