INDIANAPOLIS, IN (Thursday, August 31, 2009) – XFTP by Trilithic, a leader in broadband test and measurement solutions for cable, satellite and home networking, is proud to announce they have released two new Cable Mappers to the XProTec line of installation tools. The new XProTec™ 20- way Cable Mapper and XProTec™ 8-way Cable Mapper are designed to quickly map speaker, coaxial, or security/alarm cables. These Cable Mappers offer an installer a quick and accurate way to identify inaccessible installed cables or multiple cables in a bundle.
Simply install one of the terminators to the ends of the cable runs or wall plates and connect the opposite end of the cable to the coax jack on the Cable Mapper. The results display the unique number of the terminator attached to the other end. Coax cables can also be identified by attaching the coax alligator clip adapter to the coax jack on the Mapper. For unterminated cable, the installer can use the contacts for a quick easy read.
The 8-way Cable Mapper also features a built in toner for sending a tone signal on a coax cable, while the 20-way Cable Mapper features Short Circuit and Voltage Detection and Warnings. Both units come equipped with Alligator Clips and F-connector contacts.
The XProTec™ line from XFTP is a comprehensive lineup of professional-grade technical tools. These full-featured, field-proven, and easy-to-use tools meet the highest quality standards in the industry, and feature the dependability you expect for complete installation solutions.
The XProTec 20-way Cable Mapper is now available. See our list of Distributors online at www.FieldTechProducts.com
