NetPeppers Cable Captain

Verifier with App Support

The Cable Captain has everything under control.

This smart cabling tester is a new generation of testers with reporting function and cloud storage. The most accurate wiring diagram on the market and length measurement characterize this device.

 

NP-Connect App

The central platform for measurement technicians and one of the most advanced testing solutions on the market. With role-based access control, projects can be predefined, managed, and displayed directly to the installer in the app.

 

Smart App

The NP-Connect app comes with a wealth of functions: Result storage, selectable label schemes, PDF report creation, user management and even more.

Fault location

The Captain knows where the problem lies. Breaks can be precisely located using pairwise length measurement.

Features

  • COMPREHENSIVE CABLE TESTING
    Tests data sockets and connectors for line breaks, short circuits, swaps, split pairs and more
     
  • FAULT LOCATION
    Breaks canbe precisely located using pairwise length measurement.
     
  • SMART App
    The device can be controlled live not only via the color LCD, but also via our NP-Connect app on the smartphone. Result storage, selectable label schemes, PDF report creation, user management and even more.
     
  • CABLE SEARCH MADE EASY
    With an extra tone receiver probe (i.e. NP-LAN-CTR50 sold separately) unassigned or unlabeled cables or individual wires can be located quickly and efficiently.

Device Control „Over the Air“


The handheld devices can be connected to a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth.

Updates are automatically applied, test settings are transferred, measurements are taken in real time and results are transmitted directly to the mobile device.

Save & Share Measurement Results


Managing and sharing your results has never been easier. Choose one of the cloud providers like Google Drive or MS OneDrive to synchronize your test data directly to the cloud and other devices. This makes test data loss impossible. Share the measurement data or PDF reports directly via email, messenger services, etc. There are no limits to connectivity!

User Management & Assignment of Rights


The sophisticated, cloud-based system of the NP-Connect app makes it possible to assign rights to users such as project managers, installers or clients. This allows the project manager to keep an eye on everything and define the measurement settings. The installer carries out the measurements.

App Control


The NP Connect App is the central platform for measurement technicians and one of the most advanced solutions available on the market. It supports not only NetPeppers copper testers, but also the SpicyONE fiber optic Tier 1 certifiers.

The NP Connect App is available free of charge for Android and iOS devices.
