Microtest, Inc. PentaScanner 350 LAN Certification Tool (Both Ends of Cable) (P/N 8180-00)
Superior link quality is required for high speed applications. Performance Grading puts the focus on link quality, ensuring that your cabling, connectors and installation will meet requirements now and well into the future. Performance Grading measures and rates the quality of high performance links by analyzing the headroom available for high speed applications. This means that while other manufacturers' testers provide simple PASS/FAIL results, PentaScanner 350 can actually differentiate links that are marginally passing from links that have up to 70 times better signal-to-noise ratios. PentaScanner 350 measures Quality Bands from 1 to 7, with 1 being a marginally passing Category 5 link and 7 being the highest link performance available today. Now you can tell those links that marginally pass and may require costly rewiring from the links that are highly reliable and can meet future performance requirements.
