Just plug one end of your cable into the Atlas IT and the other into the
Atlas Terminator and press “test”. In seconds the unit will
identify the
cable type (straight through, crossover or token ring) and verify every
connection. If there are any faults then they are clearly explained on
screen. Socket testing is possible too thanks to the special patch cables
included in the outfit. Swapped lines, missing lines, shorted lines are all
uniquely identified together with the full connection pattern!
What’s more,
if you want to know how to make up a special network cable, the Atlas can
instruct you, even down to cable colours!
Automatic identification of Straight-Through patch cables

Automatic identification of Cross-Over cables
Comprehensive analysis of above cable types
Analyses all 8 lines of the cable
Fault identification and highlighting for the following faults:
Shorted Lines, Open lines, Swapped lines
Display of cable-making instructions when not testing cables
Can test plug-plug, plug-socket and socket-socket
Support for up to 150m (500ft) of cable
Miniature Atlas Terminator, ideal for use in tight spaces
Clear and user-friendly scrollable display
Spare battery and spare Atlas Terminator supplied
