The LanTEK IV-S cable certifier features industry-leading performance, reliability, durability, and time-saving functionality. The innovative VisiLINQ permanent link adapters allow users to operate the certifier and quickly see the result without holding the handsets. Engineers and technicians can conduct and save a Cat6A test within 7 seconds, assisted by the intuitive user interface and easy-to-use high-resolution touchscreen. Certify links up to Cat 8, including TCL and Resistance Unbalance, and sweep to 3000MHz providing room for future ratified ISO and TIA test standards.

Durable Test Adapter Interface System Reduces In-Service Failures

The LanTEK IV-S features the industry’s most durable test adapter interface design that reduces failures caused by mechanical stress on fragile high-frequency connectors. Unlike other designs where the adapter “clips” to the front of the main instrument allowing mechanical stress to be transmitted to the RF connector system, the LanTEK IV-S fully encapsulates the RF connector within the housing of the test instrument. This design prevents the fragile connector on the instrument and test adapter from engaging until the plastic housings are engaged together, taking the load off the connector. With this design, the test instrument can sustain a typical impact from dropping without damage to the RF connector system. Other instruments suffer damage to this critical system with minor bumps and drops.

Universal Test Adapters Eliminate Proprietary Wear Items (Class F/FA/I/II)

The LanTEK IV-S features a unique system that allows it to achieve industry-standard levels of accuracy with off-the-shelf patch cords when testing Class F/FA/I/II cabling. Any manufacturer who tests permanent link cabling systems must remove the effects of their test equipment cords from the results of the cabling under test. While other manufacturers implement costly and proprietary hard-wired adapter systems, the LanTEK IV-S utilizes a field compensation process that allows the operator to use standard off-the-shelf TERA, GG45, and EC7 patch cords to interface the test instrument to the cabling under test. The key advantage is that when the cords wear out from normal use, the LanTEK IV-S operator simply replaces the cords with off-the-shelf patch cords, while operators of other brands must order custom parts from the test equipment manufacturer.

Power Management Designed for Any Situation

The LanTEK IV-S features a high-capacity lithium-ion battery with a typical operating life of 6-8 hours between charges. The battery can be charged at a normal rate by connecting the power supply directly to the tester with the battery pack installed (8 hours for a completely discharged battery) or fast-charged by removing the battery from the instrument and plugging the power supply directly into the battery (3.5 hours typical for a completely discharged battery).

Most importantly, the LanTEK IV-S can be powered from AC power with or without the battery pack installed. This advantage is critical if the battery pack is damaged or has reached the end of its service life. The LanTEK IV-S remains operational while some other competitive testers require the battery to be installed and able to hold a charge to operate from AC power.
