end connects or disconnect other device. Enter
“RJ45 cable TDR test” app to test cable’s length.
Test cable’s length, please don’t connect any
device. The max measurement length is 600
meters.
If cable is open circuit or short circuit, can test the
cable length, if screen display "online", the testing
result would be not accurate.

without the use of SD card reader.
Start the FTP server and then input the tester's
FTP address in the PC's address bar.

is normal.
Connect the network cable to the LAN port of
tester, enter the username and password, click
“OK” to dialing test. After the dialing is successful,
click “PING” to detect the internet

Remarks:
1. The technical specification describes the ensured performance of the instrument when using typical PC model connector to
measure, without considering the uncertainty caused by optical fiber refractivity.
2. Dynamic range is the data measured under the condition of the maximum pulse width and 3 minutes of average time.
Dynamic range is the data measured under the condition of 200km/20000ns/3min.
3. Measuring conditions of blind zone: reflection event is within 5Km, reflection strength is 45dB. Measured by the minimum
pulse width
4. The data above is only for reference and any change of them will not be informed in advance.
