The LanTEK III is an easy to use cable certifier that meets existing TIA and ISO/IEC performance requirements for testing up to Cat 7A/1000MHz. FiberTEK III adapters are used with LanTEK III for fast and simple certification of high bandwidth single-mode and multimode fiber optic cabling including support for encircled flux testing. Test data when you want it, where you want it Using the free IDEAL 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. New 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. To pinpoint fiber cabling faults every FiberTEK III adapter includes a built-in visible light source to help you visually pinpoint faults and locate fiber ports. These additional features help locate hidden connections, splices and cable faults and can save many hours previously spent troubleshooting problems on the job. New permanent link (PL) adapter saves money New PL adapters reduce down time and lower maintenance costs with field replaceable RJ45 contacts that eliminate the need to replace the complete adapters. New PL adapters feature centered connectors to ensure compatibility with all brands of Cat 6A/ ISO Class E A cabling solutions. The PL adapters use high performance, ultra-flexible cable that allows them to be used in confined spaces without damaging the PL adapter or the outlet being tested. Modular solution to reduce capital costs For many cable installers there is pressure to reduce capital equipment costs. The LanTEK III and FiberTEK III uniquely offer a pick and mix solution of components, therefore you only pay for what you need. This includes a wide range of test modules, accessories and Careplans to satisfy your specific requirements.
Permanent Link Testing Modules To test and certify UTP/STP cabling from the patch panel to the work area outlet. The RJ45 contacts on the tip of the Permanent Link Modules are field replaceable to reduce the cost of ownership.
Channel Testing Modules Select from a wide wide range of Channel testing modules for various applications including: RJ45, GG45, TERA and EC7.
Fiber Optic Testing Modules FiberTEK III modules offer fast and simple Tier 1 certification of high bandwidth single-mode and multimode fiber optic cabling including support for encircled flux testing.
Efficient Data Management Software IDEAL Data CENTER (IDC) is the free test result management software for the LanTEK III and FiberTEK III series of cable certifiers. 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 than can show either passed, failed or all test results in each report:
Operates in the smallest enclosures The PL adapters use high performance, 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 New 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 New PL adapters reduce down time 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 than 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.
The PL adapter tips can be changed in minutes with 3 simple steps.
New 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 previously spent troubleshooting problems on the job.

I have this question too (0)
IDEAL uses a high quality and very durable but still lightweight cable. Under normal use, this part has not to be replaced during the lifetime of the product.

According to standards, an RJ45 plug must withstand 750 insertions which is achievable for a quality patch cord. The tips of the LanTEK III PL adapters are designed to withstand at least 2000 insertions under normal circumstances.
Yes. First of all, LanTEK III features a wiremap with distance to fault to locate severe faults. Secondly LanTEK III offers TDX and TDRL to locate crosstalk and return loss faults along the link. This enables users to locate even small issues.
Yes, from version 2.5 onwards. Users with version 1.x or 2.0x will need to upgrade to version 2.5 or es IDC support LanTEK III.
Yes, our system is open to many cloud solutions. LanTEK III connects via Wi-Fi to our IDEAL AnyWARE app that runs on IOS and Android smartphones. The LanTEK III data can be sent by a smartphone to any cloud or e-mail service that is installed on the users phone. We do not restrict the user to use a proprietary cloud solution.
Both devices are accurate to specs, but may give different test results. When testing permanent links, the test plug is part of the link and therefore will have an influence on test results. Since the PL adapters of LanTEK III have different electrical characteristics than a regular patchcord plug, there may be different test results, but again both are accurate to specs. Users may also see different test results when using patch cords since also patchcords can have different plug types.
LanTEK III is shipped with an EDIMAX EW-7811Un USB Wi-Fi adapter. Other adapters may work, but will not be supported by IDEAL.
IDEAL offers configurations with and without test adapters so our customers have the freedom to choose whichever configuration best suits their needs. If you buy a LanTEK III only, thEn this tester will be shipped without adapters. This case makes sense only if you already have a stock of LanTEK II or LanTEK III adapters and do not need additional adapters.
Any category from CAT3 up to CAT6A with LanTEK III-500 and CAT3 to CAT7A with LanTEK III-1000.
Yes. First of all, the wiremap distance to fault indicates the approximate location of a shield. Secondly, a short between a pin and shield causes a huge return loss fault. The location of this fault can be accurately displayed by the TDRL feature.
No, however both methods are very useful to locate faults along the cable and therefore optional tests in LanTEK III.
If it is a severe damage, eg. a ripped wire or the famous nail trough the cable, than yes, the wiremap distance to fault as well as TDRL will locate that fault. If it is a smaller damage and all wires are still connected, this question unfortunately can not be answered with a simple “yes” or “no”. A rule of thumb is: If a link fails the Autotest, than the user should be able to locate the fault with TDRL and or TDX. IF the link passes Autotest, than the damage is electrically so small that it actually does not matter for the performance of the cable, however such a link still might visually look damaged. As an example: One would think that a tight knot in an installation cable should cause the cable to fail the Autotest. However, most of the cables today are that stable, that even a know does not significantly reduce the performance of the link. In those cases it depends on how big the influence of the mechanical damage is to the return loss and crosstalk performance. TDRL and TDX therefore might pick up the damage or not.
No, the LanTEK II hardware can not support the new PL adapters.
No. This makes no sense since testing using CH adapters and patchcords actually is more expensive for CAT6A.
No. Unlike with LanTEK II, there is no field calibration necessary for PL testing.
When using channel adapters, it may happen that only one adapter gets damaged by a faulty patch cord. Therefore it makes sense to only offer single adapters. However, PL tips will only suffer wear due to a large number of insertions which most likely will always happen on both adapters , therefore both tips most likely will wear out same time. Therefore offering the tips as pairs makes more sense.
No – there is no testing standard nor cabling standard yet that defines testing of CAT8.
Yes, both with LanTEK II and LanTEK III.
Yes. With the TDX feature, the user can see where there is a crosstalk problem along the cable. If the consolidation point contributes too much crosstalk, it will be visible in TDX. The user than can disconnect the extension from the consolidation point and re-test the link to verify if the link than meets specs or not.
All copper testing accessories are compatible with two exceptions. 1) The new PL adapter can only be used on LanTEK III 2) LanTEK III does not support PL measurements using CH adapters. Batteries, chargers and headsets are the same. The following other items can only be used with LanTEK III: Wi-Fi adapter and IDEAL AnyWARE app.

We purchased a LANTEKIII certifier and we are very pleased with it in every aspect. The quality on how its built and the simplicity on how to use it is awesome. We have used other well known certifiers but the LANTEKIII is by far the best we have used.

I got this Cable Certifier for my relative in Mexico who happens to own a Computer Business in the State of Sinaloa. The equipment works excellent and we already put it to good use and are recovering the investment fast. We wish to have a way to buy this equipment in Mexico at similar prices than the USA.
