The maximum length that can be measured is approximately 150 m.
However, this depends on the cable itself.
The bottom display line is the dialogue line. The possible operating steps
for the current test are displayed in this line.
Navigate with the ◄ / ► buttons to see the identified details per wire.
This allows for example an open or short to be clearly assigned to the
near or far end. If the fault is somewhere in between, then its location is
indicated in meters.
The ◄ button reveals the length of the wires and the ► button indicates
the number of errors, type of errors, the affected pin, where it should be
and where it actually is, if misconnected, as well as the distance to the
fault. In the case of split pairs, of course only the linked pair can be
defined. Sometime individual couplings between other wires can be
identified. Because of the split pair, the crosstalk also relates to other
neighboring wire pairs. Make sure that the selected wiring version
(such as 568A) corresponds to the actual cabling.
Save the data - KE7200 only
After the measurement has been taken, you can either exit measuring by
pressing ESC, or you can save the measurement. Press the SEL button
to open the Save the data menu. The default name of the measurement
is displayed, followed by a number. A unique name must be provided if
you want to associate the data at a later time. We recommend the
customer name or number. Enter the name by pressing the▲ or ▼
button. This allows you to scroll through the alphabet and numbers 0-9.
Press SEL to enter the desired character. Change the cursor position by
pressing ◄ and ►.
The name remains entered until it is overwritten. That is, if the customer
remains the same, you do not have to change anything when saving the
next measurement. The number of the measurement is automatically
incremented. Afterward, you can sort, print out and save based on the
customer number or name. Remember that this setting may need to be
changed before starting a series of measurements at a different facility.
The available memory is displayed in the second line. A total of
approximately 14,000 entries is possible.
Cable/wire trace
The KE7200 / KE7100 has two different ways of identifying a known jack
on the patch panel, switch or hub. Insert the test cable of the KE7200 /
KE7100 into the outlet box in the room and select Test Link/Blink in the
Cable/wire trace menu. This only tests if the box is active in the network.
