New Quick Setup Cable Certifier from IDEAL Networks

To support busy cable installers, the new Quick Setup mode on the latest version of the IDEAL Networks LanTEK III enables almost all configuration and testing to be performed on just one straightforward screen. Eliminating the need to navigate through different menus and options before starting to test or troubleshoot simplifies and speeds up the process for installers.

"From speaking to our customers, we found that they were keen to get quicker access to information when certifying data cable and therefore developed the new Quick Setup mode,” explains Tim Widdershoven, Global Marketing Manager for IDEAL Networks. “As with all IDEAL Networks solutions, this latest development underwent considerable internal and external testing to ensure that it meets the needs of the user.”

The LanTEK III cable certifier from IDEAL Networks is used to test the performance of cable and connectors in installed LAN cabling systems, and to ensure that components and cable meet relevant standards. In the new Quick Setup operational mode, the most commonly used functions appear on a single screen, making tester configuration faster and simpler. Details that can be updated from the Quick Setup screen include the user, customer, job, test standard and test name / number.

The user can choose Quick Setup as the default operating mode, entering directly from the home screen at the touch of a button. However, for those installers who prefer it, Standard Setup is still an available operating mode.

“This new, intuitive Quick Setup operation mode has been developed to improve our standard user interface and tester setup,” adds Tim. “We believe it will enhance the user experience for new and existing customers, making the day to day job of cable installers easier and more efficient.”
