The Microconnect CAB-TEST2 is a compact network cable tester for verifying continuity and locating faults in Ethernet (Cat5e/Cat6), coaxial and telephone lines. Lightweight and portable, it identifies wiring errors such as open circuits, shorts, crossed pairs, reversed connections and crosstalk interference, measures cable length and estimates the distance to an open or short with dynamic calibration for up to 97% accuracy. The tester includes multiple far-end passive jacks, voice prompts for far-end recognition, a large display and long battery life for field use.

Advantages

One person can perform cable continuity checks thanks to integrated remote functions and eight far-end passive test jacks (ID1–ID8). The unit locates wiring and connection errors and measures cable length and pair information with automatic dynamic calibration and self-checking that compensates for battery level and ambient temperature changes. Additional features include voice prompts for far-end recognition, automatic time-delay shut off and a watchdog-designed single board computer for reliable operation.

Suitable for

  • Installation and troubleshooting of Cat5e and Cat6 Ethernet cables
  • Testing coaxial and telephone lines
  • On-site network maintenance and verification by a single technician
  • Measuring cable length and locating opens or shorts in structured cabling

Key specifications

  • Supported cable types: 5E (Cat5e), 6E (Cat6), coaxial, telephone lines
  • Far-end passive test jacks: 8 (ID1–ID8)
  • Length measurement accuracy: up to 97% with dynamic calibration
  • Display: large screen for clear test readouts
  • Power: long battery life (standby approx. 50 hours); automatic time-delay shut off
  • Weight: 180 g
  • Brand / MPN / EAN: MicroConnect / CAB-TEST2 / 5704327885283

How to use

Connect the tester to the cable under test and, if required, plug the appropriate far-end passive ID unit into the remote end (ID1–ID8). Select the test mode for the cable type (Ethernet, coaxial, telephone) and start the test. Read the large display to identify wiring errors (open, short, jumper, reversed or crosstalk) and view the measured cable length and distance to faults. Follow the voice prompts for far-end recognition when using remote IDs. The device automatically calibrates length measurements and runs self-checks to adjust for battery or temperature variations.

Recommendations

Use the CAB-TEST2 for routine installation checks and troubleshooting on-site; ensure remote IDs are connected correctly for single-person testing, keep batteries charged to maintain measurement accuracy, and store the unit in a dry, temperature-stable environment to preserve calibration and reliability.
