TES-46 LAN Cable Tester

The TES-46 is a CAT-5 LAN cable tester designed to measure cable length and identify fault status. It features an LCD display for reading results. This tool is intended for electricians and network installers who need to verify cable integrity during installation or troubleshooting. It is supplied as a single unit in a box.

For Cable Verification Tasks

This tester suits technicians checking continuity, wiring faults and distance on CAT-5 cables. It is not for users who require certification-level reporting or testing of higher-category cables such as CAT-6 or fibre. Buyers needing Power over Ethernet validation or advanced diagnostics should look at other equipment.

LCD Fault and Length Display

The built-in LCD shows measured cable length and fault status directly on the device. This allows immediate on-site assessment without a separate computer or software. The display is the primary interface for determining if a cable run meets requirements.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the TES-46 to a cable run and what step is often missed?

Plug the main unit into one end of the installed cable and the remote terminator into the far end before selecting the test mode; the step users skip is confirming both ends are fully seated so the LCD can display the correct wire-map and length reading.

Which part of the TES-46 will need replacement first and when?

The 9 V battery powering the LCD display and test circuitry typically needs changing after extended daily use; a dimming screen or failure to power on signals it is time for a fresh cell.

What measurement limit appears first when testing long cables continuously with the TES-46?

The length-reading range tops out at the tester’s maximum calibrated distance, so runs beyond that limit show an over-range indication before any other fault data appears on the LCD.
