Top Brands in Cable Testers
Cable Testers
Electricity and electronic devices are deeply interconnected with our everyday activity. We cannot imagine our routine without electronic devices, and electrical shortages can stop electric-operated services and even industries. Electricity is distributed through cables. They are used everywhere, from high-voltage industrial power lines to devices used at homes and offices, like keyboards and headsets. Cables are affected by imperfect design and production quality, any type of physical damage and short circuits. Cable testers were created to check the cohesion and functionality of a cable.
A cable tester functions by measuring the time difference between sent and received signals. If the signal comes back sooner than it is supposed to come - there’s a probability that the cable is short-circuited if the signal does not return - there’s a lack of connection or mismatching connections.

Ideal
From the Beginning
In 1916, J. Walter Becker started the Ideal Commutator Dresser Company of Chicago from his mother's kitchen. He manufactured commutator dresser stones with the belief that every product should be worth more than the price paid for it. Service, he said, was part of the product. That idea has been the core IDEAL business principle for over 90 years. Today, the loyal distributors and customers that make IDEAL successful are a testament to Becker's original philosophy.
IDEAL brings you products that make your job easier; products that you can rely on, with warranties you can trust; products that are available whenever and wherever you need them. Every IDEAL product comes with the promise made by the company’s founder more than 90 years ago. In addition to serving the needs of electrical and datacom professionals, IDEAL INDUSTRIES, INC. also serves the environmental monitoring and measurement market through Casella Measurement.
Products. Over 3,000 items, offered by MegaDepot to your advantage, make up the IDEAL family of products including some whose names have become synonymous with their function.

Psiber
Founded in 1994, Psiber Data Systems Inc. began with a simple philosophy - to build professional, next-generation high-performance test equipment for everyday network maintenance. Revolutionary next-generation products from Psiber enable customers to accelerate the deployment, performance, and maintenance of high-speed networks and applications.
The first instrument developed by Psiber was the PsiberNET data clamp in 1994. This instrument created an entirely new class of computer LAN (Local Area Network) diagnostic tools. The PsiberNET data clamp was the only non-intrusive test instrument that could read and display LAN traffic information without a direct electrical connection to the network. This innovative new product was recognized by Data Communications Magazine as the "Hot Product of the Year" in physical layer testing, in 1995.
From the PsiberNET data clamp, the company has continued to introduce breakthrough, high-speed testing instruments to the market. Psiber was first to develop and market a series of link testers - the LanMaster line, including the latest LanMaster 26 Gigabit Link Tester with PoE detection.
Psiber was also the first to launch a cost/value effective Pinging product, the Pinger, and its successor, the Pinger Plus+. Then, Psiber capped LAN product innovation by introducing Port ID link light activation to tone generators - creating the CableTracker Network Tone and Probe kit.
With the expansion of high-speed networks, Psiber also makes next-generation test equipment, including the CableTool TDR, LANExpert Network Analyzer, the New CT12 High Power Tone Generator, and the New PingerPro Series for the CATV industry, the enterprise market and service providers.
Psiber designs and manufactures world-class next-generation test, measurement and verification solutions. Headquarters are in San Diego, California, USA where R&D, manufacturing, and product services are done. The company is proud that all of their handheld network testers are made in the USA.
