OVERVIEW Get a wide range of testing capabilities for physical wiring in all areas of your application—and ensure that your premise cabling supports Triple-Play services—with the handheld Tri-Porter test set from Black Box. Whether you need to verify cabling for IP-based voice systems, Ethernet data links, POTS lines, and multimedia video runs, the versatile Tri-Porter does the job! This testing kit supports most diagnostic needs for communication and media services. Ideal for SOHO as well as enterprise environments, the Tri- Porter enables you to quickly test IP-based services for optimal performance. It works with 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX network cabling, telephone wiring, and coax cabling, and features wiring qualification with fault diagnosis, cable tracing, location identification, and service detection for all three media types. In fact, with its integrated design, the Tri-Porter essentially replaces six types of testing tools! It functions as a: • DSL-safe phone test set • Network tester • Tone generator • Cable tester/verifier • Tone detector/cable finder • Coax mapper Detect network cabling problems. The Tri-Porter helps you find Physical Layer or configuration errors on active networks, and verify unpowered systems on new network installs. Use it to PING for IP address info, identify a device at the end of the line to learn not only what it is but also its network speed, and find connected ends in wiring closets. The Tri-Porter offers port discovery for Ethernet, Token Ring, and other systems, and tests to TIA-568 interconnect specs and connected lengths for CAT5, CAT5e, and CAT6 cables. Verify phone outlets. With the Tri-Porter, you can reliably determine if you have sufficient signal levels required for various telephony services. A built-in dial tone simulator gives you the means to power up phone systems to test connected runs. For voice telephony testing, it features an advanced-function telephone button set, call analysis and discovery, voltage and current readings, line number discovery with captured digits, and more! In Phone Mode, the Tri-Porter works as a portable telephone test set that can be used by installers for temporary communications and for servicing and installing lines. For hands-free listening while monitoring a line, the Tri-Porter features an integrated speakerphone (or you can listen via the included mini-headset). Test signaling on video cable connections. With its RF detection features, the Tri-Porter tests for physical and electronic variations that interfere with the correct operation of cable modems, video-on-demand applications, Hi-Def screens, and other high-end video systems. It does this by measuring incoming RF energy and by using a bar graph to show the ranges of energy expected on antennas and cable systems.

10/1/2007 #26846 unit traces cables that are terminated to equipment or passing through splitters or taps, and enables you to trace the current flowing in terminated or shorted coax cables. The tester comes with a 20-piece set of coax remote identifiers (numbered 1 through 20), as well as two 20-piece numbered wire mapper sets, one for data connections and another for telephone connections. For easy communications when testing, the Tri-Porter comes with a mini-headset that features over-the-ear design (perfect for use while wearing a hard hat and safety glasses!) and an adjustable boom microphone. It also has a 4-foot (1.2-m) cord that has a 2.5-mm cell phone-style plug. The Tri-Porter main unit offers intuitive controls with setup and mode selection buttons, a keypad of arrows, and a recessed rotary knob that you move up and down to select test functions. Test results and function menus display clearly on the unit’s LCD. This backlit transflective screen is easy to read in varying degrees of light, whether you’re working on a reflective roof under the sun or in the darkest recesses of your wiring closet. On the tracer unit, you use arrow buttons to digitally control volume and a select button to choose testing mode. The unit operates as both a listen-only POTS phone and a tone tracer, locating standard generated tone signals as well as dial tone signals. What’s more, it traces UTP and audio cables, and offers unique tone tracing capabilities for both live and dark coax. Diagnostics include LEDs that indicate voltage presence and polarity, when it’s operating in phone mode or trace mode; and when the battery is low.
