TestPro Multifunction Cable Tester
A versatile, modular-based platform purpose built to help organizations better manage the deployment and on-going support for today’s digital infrastructure.
Device & features ModelsVersatility for the Digital Age
Today's network environments are becoming more complex with the proliferation of IoT connected devices that require PoE, varying link speed requirements between devices and business critical applications as well as assurance of the physical infrastructure. Having to manage all of these different aspects or simply be able to exonerate your domain can be daunting without the right tool for the job.
TestPro supports testing of three key areas of technology organizations should consider when investing in test and measurement solutions. TestPro supports CAT6A certification in half the time and half the cost of competitive products, Multi-Gigabit link qualification up to 10 GigE and loaded PoE++ validation testing up to 90W.
Key Features
- Industry's fastest complete CAT6A certification test at 6 seconds, including TCL and return loss location troubleshooting
- Certify CAT5e – CAT8
- DC unbalance measurement for PoE cabling
- TCL, MPTL (Modular Plug Terminated Link) and Single-Pair Ethernet measurement
- Live Wiremap and cabling diagnostics including distance to fault
- Uniquely able to measure impact of PoE on network link performance with simultaneous traffic generation and sustained power load testing
- DC resistance unbalance
- Verify loaded PoE++ for 802.3 af/at/bt (90W)
- Reporting of PSE configuration and powered pairs
- Reporting of voltage/current/real power
- Autotest qualifies which link speeds are supported with pass/fail indication of 1/2.5/5/10GigE data rates, even under sustained PoE++ load
- Per pair Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and Bit Error Rate (BER) reporting against default or user defined limits
- Integrated traffic generation and loopback to stress test cable links
- Mulimode and single mode OLTS modules
- 850/1300nm multimode and 1310/1550nm singlemode
- Integrated VisiFault locator
- Optical probe connection for visual inspection of dirt and damage to optical connectors
- Integrated port for measuring electrical voltage for hybrid optical cables
OTDR
AEM’s OTDR test adapters provide additional troubleshooting functionality when used with the NSA. The OTDR gives technicians in the field the ability to easily pinpoint the location of broken fiber or other loss events causing an optical loss test to fail.
OTDR Test Adapters can be added to Any NSA kit and are available in Multimode and Singlemode versions. Noted below are the adapters and associated model numbers.
Test Adapter Kits (single test adapter, see NSA kits and accessories page for details of each kit)
- AD-OTDR-U-850_1300 – Multimode wavelengths 850/1300nm
- AD-OTDR-U-1310_1550 – Singlemode wavelengths 1310/1550nm
- AD-OTDR-U-1310_1625 – Singlemode wavelengths 1310/1625nm
With the addition of the new AD-NET-PASSTHRU adapter, users can enhance the Ethernet and PoE testing and troubleshooting capabilities of TestPro or NSA.
This unique test adapter allows users to connect their TestPro or NSA in-line between the switch and the end device, such as a PoE camera, and test while the end device is in use.
The testing provides details on connected speed up to 1Gbps and SNR (Signal-To-Noise Ratio) on both sides of the connection as well as the power draw of the connected PoE device. The information may be examined in real time and saved. The test can also be run as a log capture to help troubleshoot or test a link under load for extended periods of time, and the log can be retrieved using TestDataPro test results management software.
Test parameters include:
- Negotiated Connection Speed
- Tx speed during activity
- PoE Voltage
- PoE Current
- PoE Power
- SNR

A New Class of Hybrid Testing
Due to an increased reliance on network-connected technologies in the enterprise, IT departments now require a cable test tool that fills the gap between network qualification and certification categories without breaking the bank. This new category of test tool is being referred to as Qualification+. AEM's new Network Service Assistant (NSA) is the first Qualification+ test tool on the market that provides enterprise IT departments with features that approach what professional cabling contractor certification tools can measure at a much lower price-point. Let's learn more about AEM's NSA tool from a high-level and why its Certi-Lite feature puts the "+" in Qualification+.
Network Service Assistant Advantages
- Certi-Lite – Single-ended ANSI/TIA 1152-A complaint RF testing involving the measurement of complex cable parameters such as Return Loss, NEXT, Insertion Loss, ACRF, length, delay, shield discontinuity, and graphical TDR analysis of faults.
- Autotest feature - Autotest is the easiest and most reliable way to ensure that cabling links will support the desired network rate with a clear Pass/Fail indication and allows saving of test results.
- PoE Load Testing – All PoE standards, which include 802.3 af/at/bt and UPOE are supported for reporting of PSE configuration and full load testing with reporting of Current/Wattage/Voltage. In addition, it also allows for sustained loading of the PoE source over longer periods to identify hard to find intermittent power drops, through external loads.
- Multi-gig Link Speed Testing - NSA is capable of validating a link to ensure Ethernet can be supported at 1/2/5/5/10GBASE-T. It can perform SNR measurements while under traffic and PoE load, ensuring confidence that a cabling link will support the desired network rate.
- Network Connectivity Testing - NSA can connect to a live Ethernet network through the 10/100/1000 network interface connector, or via WiFi (Edimax EW-7822ULC Wi-Fi USB adapter required). Once connected, NSA will auto-discover connected devices on the network. You can Ping any other device to verify connectivity with traceroute and measure latency.
- Wi-Fi Testing - NSA can auto-discover all 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi SSIDs and their associated RSSI values (received power level). This is helpful in discovering Wi-Fi "dead zones" and checking Wi-Fi connectivity with optional Edimax EW-7822ULC Wi-Fi USB Adapter.
- Industry's Best Warranty - All NSA's come with a full 2-year warranty from date of purchase – proof of our confidence in the quality and reliability of our instruments.
