Network Analyser Trendnet TC-NT2 Blue White

The Trendnet TC-NT2 network analyser is a compact cable tester designed for technicians and IT professionals. The device consists of a master unit and a remote terminator that together transmit and receive test signals to verify cable reliability, continuity and wiring configuration for installations up to 300 meters. It supports multiple cable types and includes an integrated audio tone generator for tracing and locating faulty cables.

Advantages

The TC-NT2 accurately checks pin configurations for a wide range of voice and data cables, including Ethernet, coax and Token Ring standards. It detects opens, shorts, miswires and verifies grounding on shielded cable. The unit offers both Auto-Scan and Manual-Scan modes, is lightweight and portable, and comes with useful accessories such as RJ45-to-BNC adapters and an RJ45 patch cable.

Suitable for

• Network installers performing wiring verification on structured cabling
• IT technicians troubleshooting connectivity issues and identifying faulty pairs
• On-site testing of Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T), coax and legacy network cabling
• Testing USB and IEEE 1394 cables when used with optional adapters

Key specifications

• Supported cable types: RJ-11/RJ-12/RJ-45, 10Base-2 (coax), Token Ring, EIA/TIA-356A/568A/568B
• Optional testing for USB and IEEE 1394 with adapters
• Built-in tone generator for cable tracing (tone probe not included)
• Checks continuity, opens, shorts, miswires and shield grounding
• Power: DC 9V (per product data)
• Weight: 108 g (per product data)

How to use

Connect the master unit to one end of the cable and attach the remote terminator to the opposite end. Select Auto-Scan for a quick full-line check or Manual-Scan for step-by-step verification of individual pairs and pins. Use the built-in tone generator and a standard tone probe to trace cables in bundles or behind walls. For USB or IEEE 1394 cables, attach the appropriate optional adapter before testing.

Recommendations

Store the TC-NT2 in its Deluxe Carrying Pouch when not in use and transport it with the supplied RJ45-to-BNC adapters and patch cable. Replace batteries per manufacturer instructions and avoid exposing the tester to extreme temperatures or moisture to maintain measurement accuracy.
