Advanced network cable tester with PoE, tracing, length measurement and continuity testing functions with ALANTEC display NI058

Comprehensive network diagnostics – ALANTEC NI058 tester

ALANTEC NI058 is an advanced tool that combines functions essential for professional diagnostics and maintenance of computer networks. This tester, designed to work with RJ45 (STP/UTP) and RJ11 cables, offers a wide range of possibilities – from measuring cable length and locating damage, through testing continuity and mapping connections, to analyzing PoE parameters and scanning the network. A clear 2.8-inch color LCD display ensures comfortable operation in all lighting conditions.

Functions and capabilities

The device allows for a comprehensive analysis of network cabling. TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) technology enables precise measurement of cable length in the range of 5-200 meters with an accuracy of ±3 meters, which significantly facilitates the location of breaks and damage. The Wire Map function allows for quick detection of errors in cabling – breaks, short circuits or reversed connections. The tester also offers the possibility of testing PoE (Power over Ethernet), verifying voltage, standard (IEEE 802.3af/at/bt), power class and power supply type. Additionally, the PING function allows you to check the availability of devices on the network and assess its performance. Scanning IP addresses makes it easier to identify active devices on the LAN. Port location using the Port Flashing function streamlines cabling management in rack cabinets. The built-in cable locator (Toner) allows you to trace cables in walls or cable bundles, working in both digital and analog mode. The tester also informs about the switch standard (10M/100M/1000M) and duplex mode (full/half-duplex). A non-contact voltage detector NCV increases safety during testing of installations.

Practical application for professionals and users

The ALANTEC NI058 tester is an indispensable tool for network installers, IT administrators and all those involved in the service and maintenance of network infrastructure. It enables quick and precise diagnosis of cabling problems, which translates into shorter repair times and minimization of network downtime. Thanks to the wide range of functions, this tester works both with new installations and with the modernization of existing networks. It is also a useful tool for home users who want to independently check the condition of the cabling in their home or office. The kit includes everything you need to get started: the main tester, cable finder (location probe), USB Type-C charging cable and carrying case.
