The Network Cable Tester requires a 9V battery (not included) for operation. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the tester, open it, insert a new 9V battery, and close the compartment securely.

5. Upute za rad

5.1 RJ45 Crimping Tool Operation

The multi-modular RJ45 crimper is designed for stripping, cutting, and crimping both pass-through and standard RJ45/RJ12/RJ11 connectors (Cat5/5e/6/6A). It supports 8P8C, 6P6C, and 6P4C configurations.

Steps for Making an RJ45 Cable:

1. Trim Excess Cable: Use the cutting blade on the crimping tool or the wire cutters pliers to trim the cable to the desired length.
2. Strip the Cable Jacket: Insert 4-5 cm of the cable into the stripping slot of the crimping tool. Rotate the tool 2-3 times to strip the outer jacket without damaging the internal wires. Alternatively, use the Multiply Cable Stripper or Mini Cable Stripper.
3. Separate and Arrange Wires: Carefully untwist and straighten the individual wires. Arrange them according to either the T568A or T568B wiring standard. Ensure the wires are aligned and flat.
4. Insert Wires into Connector: Carefully push the arranged wires into the RJ45 pass-through connector. Ensure each wire passes completely through the connector and maintains its correct order.
5. Crimp and Trim Excess Wires: Insert the connector with the wires into the crimping nest of the tool. Squeeze the handle firmly to crimp the connector and simultaneously trim any excess wires protruding from the front of the pass-through connector.
6. Verify Pins: After crimping, visually inspect the connector to ensure all pins are set correctly and the wires are securely terminated.

5.2 Network Cable Tester Usage

The Network Cable Tester is essential for verifying the integrity of your LAN/Ethernet cables. It tests for problematic shorts, opens, cross-pairs, and other wiring faults. The maximum test distance is 1000m. It features anti-burning withstand voltage up to 60V for PoE tests.

1. Priključni kabel: Plug one end of the RJ45 or RJ11 cable into the 'Master' port of the main tester unit and the other end into the 'Remote' port of the detachable remote unit.
2. Uključivanje: Uključite tester.
3. Obratite pažnju na LED diode: The LEDs on both the master and remote units will light up sequentially, indicating the status of each wire pair. Consistent sequential lighting on both units indicates a correctly wired cable. Any skipped, dim, or mismatched lights indicate a fault (e.g., open, short, or cross-pair).
4. Detachable Part: For installed cables, the remote unit can be detached to test cables over long distances or in different locations.

5.3 Wire Cutters Pliers

Use the wire cutters pliers to precisely cut network cables to the required length. They are also useful for cutting the plastic core inside the cable jacket after stripping, if necessary, to separate the wire pairs.

5.4 Cable Stripping Tools

The kit includes two types of cable strippers:

• Multiply Cable Stripper: This tool can strip both round and flat cables. It features an adjustable blade depth via a nut, allowing you to strip the outer jacket without damaging the internal wires.
• Mini Cable Stripper: A compact tool with a sharp blade for quick and easy stripping of network cables. Its hanging ring design allows for convenient storage.

5.5 RJ45 Pass Through Connectors and Strain Relief Boots

The kit provides 50 CAT6 pass-through connectors and 50 strain relief boots.

• RJ45 Pass Through Connectors: These connectors simplify the crimping process by allowing wires to pass completely through the connector, making it easier to verify the wiring order before crimping and ensuring a clean trim. They are widely used in IPTV boxes, desktops, PCs, routers, and switches.
• Strain Relief Boots: These blue boots are designed to protect the RJ45 connector from bending and snagging, extending its lifespan and providing a professional finish to your cable terminations. They are applied after the connector has been crimped.

6. Održavanje

• Čišćenje: Regularly clean all tools with a dry cloth to remove dust, debris, and wire insulation residue. For the crimping tool, ensure the cutting and crimping dies are free from obstructions.
• Zamjena oštrice: The crimping tool includes spare blades. If the cutting blade becomes dull, carefully replace it using the provided screwdrivers. Refer to the tool's markings for proper blade orientation.
• Skladištenje: Store the kit components in a dry, cool place, preferably in a protective case, to prevent damage and prolong their lifespan.
• Network Cable Tester: Remove the 9V battery from the Network Cable Tester if it will not be used for an extended period to prevent battery leakage.

7. Rješavanje problema

• Crimped Connector Not Working:
  • Verify wire order (T568A/B) is correct and consistent on both ends of the cable.
  • Ensure wires are fully inserted into the connector and make contact with the metal pins.
  • Check if the crimp was firm enough to seat all pins. Re-crimp if necessary, or use a new connector.
  • Use the Network Cable Tester to identify specific faults (open, short, cross-pair).
• Cable Jacket Not Stripping Cleanly:
  • For the Multiply Cable Stripper, adjust the blade depth nut to match the cable thickness.
  • Ensure the cable is properly seated in the stripping slot.
  • Check if the stripper blade is dull and needs replacement.
• Network Cable Tester Not Powering On:
  • Check if a fresh 9V battery is correctly installed in the battery compartment.
  • Provjerite je li prekidač za napajanje u položaju 'UKLJUČENO'.
• Wires Not Trimming Evenly in Pass-Through Connector:
  • Ensure the wires are pushed completely through the connector before crimping.
  • Apply firm, even pressure when squeezing the crimping tool handle.
  • Check if the crimper's cutting blade is sharp and free of debris.
