TP500 LANSeeker™ Cable Tester

The TP500 LanSeeker is a fast, rugged cable tester and tone generator in one unit. It displays cable test results using LED indicators on the main and remote unit. An easy-to-use professional grade tool, the LANSeeker is a must have for residential and commercial cable installers. When the unit senses a connection between the main and remote unit, the battery-saving auto-on feature initiates test results within 2 seconds.

The tester automatically powers off within 5 seconds of the cable being disconnected. LANSeeker tests for shorts, opens, miswires, reversals, and split pairs and can display connection and fault information on a pair-by-pair basis. It also generates audio tones for use with tone tracers on all pairs.

  • Displays cable test results on main and remote units in less than 2 seconds
    Immediately detects shorts by just plugging in one end of a cable to the tester
  • Identifies shorts, opens, miswires, reversed and split pairs
  • No on/off switch, automatically starts test when a connection is sensed between main and remote unit
  • Debug mode diagnoses and displays faults one pair at a time
  • Includes tone generator
    Self-stored remote

EZ-RJPRO™ HD Crimp Tool

The EZ-RJPRO™ HD Crimp Tool is designed for the professional installer providing a ratcheted, high leverage, ultra stable platform for consistent, repeatable terminations. This heavy duty tool is the perfect solution when working with high performance, larger OD cables that are tougher to terminate due to larger wire gauges, thicker, harder insulation on the conductors and pair separating splines. Not only will you overcome these connectivity obstacles but you can be assured that every termination will meet FCC specifications. Compatible with all EZ-RJ45® and EZ-RJ12/11 connectors as well as all standard modular plugs, except AMP.

  • Zero flex frame prevents torque loss during the crimping cycle.
  • Tool steel die head assembly provides 360 degree of connector support during crimp.
  • Clean, ultra flush trim on the EZ-RJ45® extended conductors.
  • Expanded surface area on contact drivers delivers full, uniform crimp force.
  • Built-in cutter and stripper for flat and round cable.
  • Full surface to surface contact delivers uniform crimp force.
  • Laser marked with wiring guide for proper wire sequence.
  • EZ-RJ45 CAT5e connectors.
  • EZ-RJ45 Shielded CAT5e connectors.
  • EZ-RJ45 CAT6 connectors.
  • EZ-RJ12/11 connectors and all other RJ45, RJ12 and RJ11 modular plug connectors except AMP.

Tele-Titan™Xg 2.0 CAT6A/10Gig Crimp Tool

The next generation in our 10Gig Termination System combines two crimpers into a single tool, making 2-step crimping simple. First, insert the 10Gig connector into the front end to terminate the contacts and switch to the back end to crimp the external ground.
