The Siemon STM-8 is capable of detecting a wide variety of faults including reversals, miswires, shorts, opens, and split pairs. This kind of diagnostic capability enables you to complete even challenging jobs quickly and efficiently. The STM-8 is a versatile hand-held tester designed to allow both home handymen and professionals the chance to examine UTPs and screened cable. This is done to analyze the location of possible damage and to report phone cable length. This device has an easy-to-read LCD display and a rugged, state-of-the-art construction. Its display is 0.5 inches tall. It comes standard with multiple remotes. This allows a person who is working alone to quickly test and identify the wiring scheme, length, and locations of up to four different cable runs. You can do this without without moving a single step. This kit can also work from a remote location to help you to avoid physical or electrical hazards such as a hole or standing water.This Siemon STM-8 offers an extended battery life.

The cord is equipped with a patented universal plug that fits into nearly any standard-sized 6 and 8 position jacks. This tester has a line voltage indicator. If there is line voltage nearby, the display alerts you in order to protect both you and the tool from incurring accidental damage.

When operating in the LENGTH mode, the Siemon STM will let you know what the distance measurements are for cables up to 900 meters long. This tester includes both a toner and a continuity checker for CAT-V and CAT-VI. If you need to test the continuity of a single line, this network equipment works with an alligator clip. In its find mode, it can determine which wiring scheme a given cable is using. For good measure, this Siemon tester can identify and report various wiring configurations. This tool includes a zippered carrying case with the familiar Siemon logo, two active remote controls, and two passive remote controls. Also included are two universal modulators, including a Token Ring 10BASE-T and a USOC. These accessories include modular cords with plug ends, a wiring guide, and a 9-volt alkaline battery.
