If you install, maintain or troubleshoot data cabling and Ethernet networks, SignalTEK NT allows you to prove the performance up to Gigabit Ethernet transmission rates.
By simulating actual network traffic users are able to test and document network and data cable performance to Gigabit Ethernet standards. SignalTEK NT utilises a test method known in wide area networks as transmission testing to prove the performance of a network by sending real Ethernet data frames through the cabling and/or network devices to compare the error rate against the IEEE802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet standard. This provides a clear Standards-based Pass/Fail of the link being tested.
Where system warranties are not required the SignalTEK NT is a cost effective way of proving your copper and fibre networks provide error-free performance.
SignalTEK NT requires no configuration from the user as the two handsets automatically pair ready for testing; just select a usage scenario to simulate the appropriate service, from VoIP to CCTV, Video, and web traffic.
SignalTEK NT automatically generates test reports in PDF or CSV format. Use the free IDEAL AnyWARE™ app from IDEAL Networks to view/send data cable and network test reports to colleagues and clients anywhere.
Installation Testing: Cabling
- Network traffic performance test on copper and fibre to IEEE802.3ab standard.
- Wiremap test for open, shorts, miswires and split pairs to TIA-568 standard.
- Gigabit link verification for copper and fibre cabling.
Installation Testing: Active Networks
- Network load testing through switches simulating CCTV/IPTV/VoIP/Web traffic.
- PoE/PoE+ verification: Test displays available voltage at device location.
- Check Ethernet connectivity at device location to 10/100/1000 Mbps.
- Verify network configuration (device IP/gateway address/subnet mask).
- Switch port identification via LLDP/CDP protocols.
Troubleshooting/Diagnostics: Cabling
- Distance to fault using TDR technology (copper only)
- Ability to identify and trace cables with a compatible amplifier probe (62-164)
- Optical power indication (with compatible SFP modules)
Troubleshooting/Diagnostics: Cabling
- Network load testing through switches simulating CCTV/IPTV/VoIP/Web traffic
- Stress test network before installing bandwidth hungry devices
- Port blink to visually trace cable from work area outlet to network switch
- Displays port ID of LLDP/CDP enabled switches to eliminate manual cable tracing
- Identify network connection problems as hardware, network or configuration faults
- Ping local network devices and Internet URL’s
- Count number of hops between network points with traceroute tests
- PoE load testing to confirm available power meets PoE device requirements
Test Reporting
SignalTEK NT automatically generates test reports in PDF or CSV format. The summary page of each report can be customised to include logo, company and operator details. Choose between 3 different reports that can show either passed, failed or all test reports in each report
Send test reports from anywhere using the free App
Step 1: Testing
Create a job folder, enter the job site information, perform autotest on copper or fibre cabling and copperor fibre networks.
Step 2: Connecting
Activate SignalTEK NT wireless hotspot, connect your mobile phone or tablet with the IDEAL AnyWARE App, transfer test reports to your mobile device and view the test reports.
Step 3: Sending
Select reports (PDF or CSV) to send, select preferred transfer method (email, ftp, cloud storage etc.) and send the file, alternatively you can save test reports to USB sticks.

Applications
- Quickly prove that Ethernet will work correctly after installations
- Ideal for cable installations such as SOHO or residential cabling where cable certification is cost prohibitive
- Run a simplified transmission test to check network performance for devise with slow network access.
- Check if the existing cabling can support the migration to to 1Gigabit Ethernet
- Check if both the cabling as well as the active components can support VoIP traffic.
- Ensure that minimum bandwidth requirements after MACs of active devices are met.
- Verify cabling performance to 100Mb/s or Gigabit requirements in Industrial Applications.
- Test throughput of an industrial Ethernet LAN
