Learn how Ideal Networks' VisiLINQ permanent link modules optimize usage of the test equipment manufacturer's LanTEK IV certifiers from patch panel to outlet.
The innovative VisiLINQ permanent link adapters, included as standard with all of Ideal Networks' LanTEK IV certifiers, are small components that can make a big difference for cabling installers.
Positioned to dramatically increase installer productivity, the VisiLINQ permanent link adapters are billed as a unique way to test that gives technicians everything needed to operate the LanTEK IV certifier and verify results in the palm of their hand.
As prescribed by Ideal, "Simply connect the adapter to the port, activate it, and see an instant result as the adapter lights up – green for a pass, red for a fail."
The versatile VisiLINQ adapters are suitable for testing and certifying UTP, STP, Cat5e/6/6a/8.1 cabling from the patch panel to the work area outlet.
Ideal Networks contends that, as installers can do this without even needing to touch the certifier, "they can work smarter, not harder," saving time whenever certifying copper or fiber cable.
To make things even easier for installers, the RJ45 tip for the permanent link modules is field-replaceable. This not only reduces cost of ownership but also helps maximize certifier uptime, "keeping jobs productive and profitable," as stated by the company.
IDEAL NetworksRJ45 tips for the LanTEK IV certifier have been independently verified for 2,000 insertions – 1,250 more than regular patch cord plugs, contends the manufacturer – "making them both reliable and great value," as reckoned by Ideal Networks.
