Platinum Tools, the leader in solutions for the preparation, installation and hand termination of wire and cable, is proud to announce that it will debut the Net Prowler Pro Test Kit during InfoComm 2015, held in Orlando, Fla. from June 17-19 at the Orange County Convention Center, booths 3779 & 179-4.

The Net Prowler Pro Test Kit (P/N TNP850K1) is now shipping with an MSRP of $999.95. A tester only kit (P/N TNP700) is also available with an MSRP of $799.95.

“The Net Prowler combines network testing (physical layer and link), IP device address mapping, cable troubleshooting and PoE voltage testing in a handheld tester with a full-color display…all with the capability of saving and printing test results from a personal computer,” says George Jang, Platinum Tools product manager. “The Net Prowler provides full cable testing on any category network, coax, or telephone cable. It will display wire map, numbered ID remotes, and any faults, including shorts, opens, miswires, split pairs, and reverses.”

The full-featured Net Prowler measures cable length (using TDR technology) and generates tone levels for signal tracing and cable identification on all pairs, a selected pair, or a selected pin. The unit also enables quick identification of a network drops link capability and current link status.

Net Prowler also tests the presence of PoE on the network drop and what class of PoE per IEEE 802.3 af/at with load test for voltage drop. These network tests can also be saved for record keeping and printing using the companion software application.
