## Description

The net chaser Ethernet speed certifier & network tester offers a complete solution to Test and speed certify the data-carrying capabilities of Ethernet network cables up to 1 GB/s by testing for noise in the network, detecting faults in the cable wiring, and ensuring that cables are ABLE to support the speed capabilities of active equipment. speed certification to ire standards 802.3 cable testing to tia568a/b+ Network testing features include: port discovery, detects PoE per ire 802.3AF/at with load Test for Voltage drop and which pairs the PoE is located on (Class), IPv4 support, Ping to a specific IP or url address, Ping up to 8 IP targets at a time, link light to identify location on a hub/switch/router port, verifies dhcp connectivity and dns, discovers CDP and LLDP protocols, vlan discovery, traceroute cable testing features include: bit Error rate Test (Bert), signal to noise ratio (snr), skew, Bert only Test 100Mbps & 1Gbps, measures and displays length for each pair in feet or meters, improperly terminated cables are clearly displayed on a color graphical wire-mapping display, detects length to opens & shorts, verifies continuity for RJ45, and Coax cables, saves Test results and easily uploaded to a computer, Tone generation, ID only remotes (network and Coax) - up to 20 available, testing and ID remotes - up to 8 available. The net chaser’s advanced discovery gives the clearest vision of network layout and interfaces between active components like servers, switches, routers, etc. All the information is collected, stored, and ready for reporting. Platinum Tools, founded in 1997, was created based upon two very simple objectives. First, develop and source the absolute best possible solutions for the preparation, installation and hand termination of wire and cable. Second, implement an operational infrastructure that can deliver these products in an efficient, timely and high quality manner.

Review: Excellent network and cable qualifier - When installing cable on larger projects, I generally need to provide more than a simple pass/fail on the cable pairs. This tester reports SKEW and BERT so the client knows the cable is actually ready for their network. I've never had any issue saving multiple test results to PDF format, and my tester has been completely reliable and very accurate. My only complaint is that the tester does not automatically detect the type of cable being tested. You have to program that in before you test. As a full featured network tester, however, I give it a full 5 stars. To be perfectly honest, If you just need an excellent everyday cabling qualifier, fault tracer and network tester, I would highly recommend the less expensive Net Prowler, which has been my go-to cabling, PoE and general network discovery tester for many years. It also saves test results and gives very fast results.
Review: Worst network tool out on the market, save your money. - First it’s not a certification tool, maybe I’m used to the Fluke qualifier. Impossible to save items correctly, had to send 35 single PDF tests, all because this device could not save all to one PDF.

### ⭐ Worst network tool out on the market, save your money.

### ⭐ No more RMA service on this unit
*by A***R on September 15, 2021*

I purchased one of these in 2017 and it started having intermittent failures in early 2020 where it would not stay on, it would not complete a simple cable test on a good known cable, and DHCP wouldn't work. IT continued failing until it gives errors on every cable test and DHCP always fails. Talked to Platinum Tools in 2020 and they told me that they had no parts to repair this unit and they don't service it anymore. So, now I have a $1700 device that boots up and the only thing I can do with it look at the nice pictures on the screen. Have tried resetting, reloading firmware, and rebooting many times. It worked great when it worked. Be warned if you buy this unit, if you have problems, Platinum can't service it. I've searched the internet for any other company to service it and haven't found anyone yet.
