Wire mapping test on LAN cables with RJ45 connector
Test on UTP and STP cables
Up to 6 error conditions identified
Recognition of up to 8 remote units
Pass/Fail indications
Backlight
Auto Power OFF
3. PREPARATION FOR USE
3.1. INITIAL CHECKS
This instrument was checked both mechanically and electrically prior to shipment. All
possible cares and precautions were taken to let you receive the instrument in perfect
conditions. Notwithstanding we suggest you to check it rapidly (eventual damages may
have occurred during transport). Make sure that all standard accessories mentioned in §
7.4.1 are included. Should you have to return back the instrument for any reason please
follow the instructions mentioned in § 8.
3.2. POWER SUPPLY

4.3. FUNCTION KEY DESCRIPTION
4.3.1. ON/OFF key
By pushing ON/OFF key permits to turn on the instrument. For an instant all display
segments light up, then the firmware release appears on the top right side. When “on” is
displayed the instrument is ready to start (see Fig. 3)
Fig. 3: Initial screen of instrument
By pushing long (>1s) ON/OFF key to switch off the instrument
4.3.2. UTP and STP keys
By pressing UTP or STP keys it’s possible to select the type of cable to be tested, with the
following difference: STP performs also tests on the shield (continuity and proper
connections) while UTP doesn’t. Consequently STP must be pressed for all shielded
cables such as: FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair cable), STP (Shielded Twisted Pair cable), SSTP
(Shielded/Shielded Twisted Pair cable) and SFTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair cable)
CAUTION
By default the selected cable is STP. Any time the instrument is turned off
and on such type of cable is automatically selected
4.3.3. GO key
By pushing GO key to activate the wire mapping test of LAN cable connected between the
instrument’s input and the remote unit used (see § 5.1).
4.3.4. and /keys
By pushing or /keys for the selection of the errors detected by the instrument at
the end of wire mapping test on cable (see § 5.2).
By pushing long (>2s) of UNIT/ key permits to activate/disable the backlight
4.3.5. Auto Power OFF feature
The instrument is provided with Auto Power OFF (APO) feature which automatically
permits to switch it off after approx..4 minutes of idleness in order to preserve the internal
battery.

5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5.1. CABLING TEST VERIFY
The wire mapping of RJ45 LAN cables is tested in accordance with its defined cabling
layout. To test a cable perform the below steps:
1. Switch on the instrument by pushing the ON/OFF key
2. Select the type of cable UTP or STP under test (see § 4.3.2).
3. Connect the cable under test to the meter and to the remote unit by using if necessary
through supplied patch cables (see Fig. 4)
Fig. 4: Instrument connection
4. Press GO key. The message “MEASURING…” is shown and the instrument performs
all tests related to the selected type of cable
CAUTION
The remote unit must be necessarily connected otherwise no
measurement is performed
5. If cabling is correct, a screen like this is displayed
(OK). The identification number refers to the remote
identifier connected to the other end of the cable
being tested.

QUICKLAN 6055
EN - 7
6. If cabling is not correct, a screen like this is
displayed. Referring to this example:
“NOT OK” indication and caution symbol means
that the test have given some errors
“FAULT 1/3” means that the detected errors are 3,
of which the first one is currently displayed. By
pressing or /keys it’s possible to run over the
remaining screens and display other cabling errors
Details on the detected error are given on the left
side: e.g: the couple 1-2 is OPEN
7. If the instrument detects the presence of a voltage >
0.2V on the RJ45 input, it shows the message in the
screen on the right and do not perform the test.
Eliminate the cause of the presence of voltage (e.g.:
coupling due to the presence of electrical cables
close to cable of LAN networks). The maximum
allowed voltage between inputs is 24V
CAUTION
It’s indispensable to select the right type of cable. If UTP is selected although
a STP cable is tested, test results may be not reliable due to the shield
affecting the measurement.
5.2. CABLING ERRORS
Cabling error Description Visualization Mapping
OPEN PAIR
One or both
conductors of the
pair are interrupted
(open)
REVERSED PAIR The conductors of the same pair are
reversed

QUICKLAN 6055
EN - 8
SHORTED CABLES Two conductors are in short circuit
between each other
TRANSPOSED
(CROSSED) PAIRS Two pairs are crossed
MISWIRE
Generic cabling
error, such as for
example two
conductors belonging
to different pairs are
exchanged
SPLIT PAIRS
The pin to pin
correspondence is
hold, but physically
the conductors of two
pairs are crossed

QUICKLAN 6055
EN - 9
5.3. SPLIT PAIRS EXPLANATION NOTE
A LAN cable contains 8 conductors, twisted two by two thus forming 4 pairs: 1-2, 3-6, 4-5,
7-8. The error “SPLIT PAIRS” consists in the exchange of two conductors belonging to
different pairs. The pin to pin correspondence seems intact, but physically the conductors
of two couples are split. Such interaction hardly affects (or even makes impossible) the
exchange of data at high frequency/speed.
Fig. 5: Description of “Split pairs” error
CAUTION
The error condition “SPLIT PAIRS” is verified only when the cable mapping is
fully correct.
