Overview
- The Astrotek ATP-TOOL-CT is a handheld network cable tester that quickly identifies common cabling faults without requiring complex equipment. It features dual units—a master and remote module—allowing technicians to test cable integrity from both ends simultaneously, making it ideal for troubleshooting long cable runs.
The tester uses nine LED indicators to display the status of each wire pair and ground connection, making it easy to spot wiring reversals, open circuits, shorts, and other continuity issues. It supports all standard network cable types including RJ45 Ethernet, RJ11 telephone, and RJ12 connectors, as well as coaxial cables.
Designed for field use by network technicians, installation teams, and IT professionals, this tester reduces diagnostic time and helps prevent costly network downtime caused by improper cable installation or damage.
