C2G CG26847 – LANtest Pro Remote Network Cable Tester with Tone and Probe

Product Overview

The C2G CG26847 LANtest Pro Remote Network Cable Tester with Tone and Probe is a professional-grade Ethernet cable testing kit for AV integrators, IT technicians, and facilities managers. The kit includes a master tester unit, a remote unit, and a tone and probe set for complete twisted-pair cable verification and cable tracing in a single package. It quickly identifies opens, shorts, crossed pairs, reversed pairs, and split pairs in Cat5, Cat6, and standard Ethernet patch and installed cables, with an easy-to-read LED display showing pass/fail status per conductor pair.

Product Description

The compact master unit and small remote unit allow one-person operation for testing both patch cords and installed cables. The remote unit stores inside the master unit for loss-free transport to job sites. The included tone generator outputs signals on all or selected wire pairs for cable tracing with the included probe — useful for identifying cable runs in patch panels and walls without a separate toner/probe kit.

The LANtest Pro is designed for job site portability and speed: connect, read, and move on. The LED fault indicators display the specific pin-to-pin status for fast fault identification without interpreting code tables. It is the recommended cable verification tool for AV-over-IP system commissioning where Ethernet cable integrity directly affects signal quality.
