Cable Tester for Network Professionals

The TRENDnet TC-NT2 is a comprehensive cable tester designed for network professionals. It accurately checks pin configurations for Ethernet, USB, BNC, and patch panel cables. All components fit into a handy travel case for portable use.

Sustained Testing Capability

The tester identifies proper, severed, short circuit, and cross connected pins for cable distances of up to 300 meters (984 ft). It supports 10/100/1000Base-T, 10Base-2 coax, RJ-11/RJ-12/RJ-45, EIA/TIA-356A/568A/568B, and Token Ring cables. A built-in tone generator assists with tracing cables during extended diagnostic sessions.

Maximum Cable Distance Supported

The single specification that decides suitability is the maximum test distance of 300 meters (984 ft). Installers certifying runs beyond this length need a different instrument. Buyers who need to test fibre-optic links or cables exceeding this range cannot use this model.

Questions about this item

How much power does the TC-NT2 draw when running tests all day?

The tester is a passive handheld device with no mains supply; it uses a small internal battery only while actively testing cables.

Which adapters must I already own to test USB or IEEE 1394 cables with the TC-NT2?

USB and IEEE 1394 cable tests require the optional adapters sold separately; the base unit tests Ethernet, coax and Token Ring without them.

Will the TC-NT2 correctly verify older 10Base-2 coax and Token Ring runs alongside modern Ethernet?

Yes — it checks pin configuration for 10Base-2 coax, Token Ring and 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet up to 300 metres in one tool.
