The Cable Prowler combines the functions of a high-end cable tester and length measurement tester, with the capability to identify link status, link capability, and PoE detection. All of this is in full color and internal memory to save results.

- Displays length measurement for each pair in feet or meters using TDR technology
- Detects presence of PoE and class of PoE per IEEE 802.3af/at with load test for voltage drop
- Detects and reports current link speed and link capabilities for active Ethernet drops up to 1 Gbps
- Link light to identify location on a hub/switch/router port
- Tests ethernet cable configuration and verifies connectivity while conducting tests for opens, shorts, miswires, split pairs, and reverses
- Generates selectable tones on selected pins for use with tone tracers
- Supports up to 8 testing & ID remotes for network & telephone cables
- Supports up to 20 network & coax ID – only mapping remotes
- View saved cable tests
- Full color graphical wire-mapping
- Ability to define cable name, save cable tests and print ALL results (cable testing & network testing)
- Multilingual (English, French, Spanish)


Cable Testing:
The Cable Prowler™ provides full cable testing on any category network, coax, or telephone cable. It will display wire map, numbered ID remotes, and any faults, including shorts, opens, miswires, split pairs, and reverses. The full-featured Cable Prowler™ measures cable length (using TDR technology) and generates tone levels for signal tracing and cable identification on all pairs, a selected pair, or a selected pin. All of this is displayed in a full color graphical display for easy viewing in any environment. Cable Prowler™ also has the ability to name each cable and save all test results. Cable results can be exported to a computer via micro USB cable for record keeping and printing.

  Physical Features:
- High resolution full color graphical display
- Displays wire map in color per TIA-568A/B color codes, in pin or pair order (configurable)
- Protective silicone holster
- Micro USB connector (to export cable reports), RJ45 connector, and Coax connector Applications

Network - PoE Testing:
The Cable Prowler™ enables quick identification of a network drops link capability and current link status. Cable Prowler™ also detects the presence of PoE on the network drop and what class of PoE per IEEE 802.3 af/at with load test for voltage drop. These network tests can also be saved for record keeping and printing.

  Applications:
- Measure cable length and length to faults using TDR technology
- Network testing of link capability, link status, and link light
- Test PoE to ensure adequate power for powered devices such as VoIP phones
- Conduct single ended and remote cable tests with display of PASS, wire map, ID, and faults for network & coax cables
- Tone and trace cables
- Locate unlabeled network & coax cables with up to 20 remote identifiers
- Test multiple (up to 8) network & telephone drops with testing & identifier remotes
- Define a cable name for your cable test, save every cable test, export to your computer for record keeping and printing
