Description

Black Box EZCT Cable Tester With Tone Generation

Overview

The Black Box EZCT is a diagnostic tool designed for network technicians and installers to identify and trace network cabling. It provides both cable testing and tone generation capabilities, simplifying the process of troubleshooting connectivity issues in structured cabling systems. This unit is suitable for verifying cable integrity and locating specific runs within a bundle or wall, especially in environments where clear cable identification is critical. The EZCT model is GSA and TAA compliant, making it suitable for government and specific federal projects.

Compatibility

This cable tester is designed for use with standard unshielded twisted pair (UTP) and shielded twisted pair (STP) Ethernet cables, including Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a. It is compatible with cables terminated with RJ45 connectors. The tone generator function works with compatible tone probes (sold separately) to trace cable paths through walls, conduits, or patch panels.

Installation Notes

When using the tone generation feature, ensure the cable run is disconnected from active network equipment to prevent potential damage or interference. Connect the EZCT tester to one end of the cable run and attach a compatible tone probe to the other end to trace the signal. For cable testing, connect the tester to both ends of the cable run to verify continuity and identify shorts or opens.
