  • Page 3: About This Manual

    ABOUT THIS MANUAL Testing and measuring key data link operations is necessary to determine the speed capability of individual CAT 5/6 links within installed LAN network systems. With the push of a button the GT1000 GigTest automatically measures key metrics like Signal to Noise Ratio and Skew as well as generating a Bit Error Rate Test (BERT) that generates data packets for transmission and receiving along a link to see both error generation and/or noise interference effects that may impede data flow at...

  • Page 6: Cable Test

    CABLE TEST Bicolor LED indicating pass or fail of a cable test. If 10Mb link, cable test only will be run. If 100Mb is selected, only active two pairs are tested. Cable test primarily tests for cable faults that would prevent the possibility of linking, not a complete wire map.
  • Page 7: Signal To Noise Ratio

    SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO LED indicating pass or fail of the SNR test. Cable must pass Cable Test in order to be run. Will test the 1-2 and 3-6 pairs if 100Mb is selected. All four pairs are tested in 1000Mb mode. SNR is reported if connected to a switch or NIC.
  • Page 8: Bit Error Rate Test (Bert)

    BIT ERROR RATE TEST (BERT) LED indicating pass or fail of BERT test. Will run only if Cable and SNR tests are passed and a second GigTest is at the other end of the cable. This test will show fail if more than 3 errors are detected in the normal length test, or 10 errors in the long length test.
