INTRODUCTION

The TC-NT1 Network Cable Tester is an innovative, practical tester that can easily read
the correct pin configuration of 10BASE-T, 10BASE-2, RJ45/RJ11 modular, 258A, TIA-
568A/568B and Token Ring cables by comparing one transmitting end to the
corresponding receiving end. The included remote terminator allows the user to test
installed cable either at a wall jack or a patch panel. Verifying continuity and testing for
faults such as open, shorted and crossed pairs has never been easier and more affordable.
