Overview - Deviser TC500 Operation Manual

1. Overview

TC500 is an Ethernet cable tester. It is used to certify and test copper cabling up to Class E (ISO/IEC 11801) or Category6
(TIA/EIA-568-B). It has the following features:
It contains a main unit and a remote unit. When you use it, connect the near end of cable to the main unit and the far end of

cable to the remote unit.
It has a RJ45 connector for testing UTP/STP data cable, an F connector for testing coax, a RJ11 connector for testing telephone

cable and two banana jacks for testing 2-wires.
It has two cabling test standards: International standard ISO/IEC 11801 and American standard TIA/EIA-568-B.

It certifies Category 5e (Class D) cabling in 35 seconds and certifies Category 6 (Class E) cabling in 66 seconds. It can report

PASS/FAIL result and 1000BASE-T capability judgment when an auto test finished. In once auto test, it tests all the items that
these two standards required, including: Wire map, Length, Propagation delay, Delay skew, D.C. loop resistance, Insertion loss
(attenuation), NEXT (near-end crosstalk), PS NEXT (power-sum NEXT), Return loss, ACR (attenuation to crosstalk ratio at the
near end), PS ACR ( power-sum ACR-N), ELFEXT ( equal level far-end crosstalk), and PS ELFEXT (power-sum ELFEXT).
It has a function of tone generator. It can help you locate jacks.

It has two additional functions to help you test Ethernet. One is Ping function. You can use it to ping gateway and any

computer in the network. The other function is Ethernet BER test that you can get the BER of 1000 BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or
10BASE-T.
It can run about 3.5 hours of main unit and 6 hours of remote unit.

It can store at least 100 results on the flash and can copy these results to the U-disk via USB.

Toolbox software can help you analysis the results on a PC and generate a report of the result.
