The TREND Networks (formerly IDEAL Networks) R161003 LanTEK III 500 MHz Copper Cabling Certifier Kit with Permanent Link Adapters is an easy-to-use cable certifier that meets existing TIA and ISO/IEC performance requirements for testing up to Cat 6A/500MHz.

Why Choose A Pay as You Test Certifier?

If you need three or more cable certifiers in your business, then our Pay As You Test option could transform your certifier fleet from what is traditionally a capital expense into an operating expense instead. This could help you to optimize cash flow and spread your certifier costs over time, giving you the flexibility to make other purchases in your business within your budget.

What’s more, with a Pay As You Test option, part of the TREND Networks suite of Test4Less solutions, it's far easier for you to assign costs to particular projects and ensure that jobs are running as profitably as possible.

Test data when you want it, where you want it

Using the free TREND AnyWARE app, field technicians can share test data with colleagues or customers without leaving the job site, resulting in greater collaboration, more on-time job completions, and reduced costs.

Troubleshooting features that save time and money

Should a cable prove to be faulty, troubleshooting is easy with the introduction of Time Domain Return Loss (TDRL) and Time Domain Near End Cross Talk (TDNEXT) measurements.

These additional features help locate hidden connections, splices, and cable faults and can save many hours that were previously spent troubleshooting problems on the job.

A modular solution to reduce capital costs

For many cable installers, there is pressure to reduce capital equipment costs. The LanTEK III (R161003) uniquely offers a pick and mix solution of components, so that users only pay for what they need. This includes a wide range of test modules, accessories and Care Plans to satisfy specific requirements.

Efficient Data Management Software

TREND Data CENTER (IDC) is the free test result management software for the LanTEK III (R161003). IDC allows data cable installation professionals to easily download, manage, edit, and print PDF reports. IDC offers a simple user interface with time-saving features, including:

Professional Reporting

Automatically generate test reports in PDF or CSV format. The summary page of each report can be customized to include logo, company, and operator details.

Choose between 3 different reports that can show either passed, failed or all test results in each report:

Permanent Link (PL) adapter

Operates in the smallest enclosures

The PL adapters use high-performance, the ultra-flexible cable that allows them to be used in confined spaces without damaging the PL adapter or the outlet being tested.

Compatible with all RJ45 cabling systems

These PL adapters feature centered connectors to ensure compatibility with all brands of Cat6A/ISO Class EA cabling solutions.

Field replaceable tips that reduce downtime and maintenance costs

The PL adapters reduce downtime and lower maintenance costs with field-replaceable RJ45 tips that eliminate the need to replace the complete adapters.

To reduce costs the PL adapter tips provide almost three times as many insertions as a regular patch cord before tip replacement is required.

Through innovative design, the entire worn plug assembly is replaced with a completely new plug, contact, and locking mechanism.
