The ETS Ethernet Cable Clamp Testers (CC-101/102/109) from Energy Transformation Systems allow for the injecting of a common-mode current into Cat-5e, Cat-6A and Cat-7 cables in order to test gigabit Ethernet for common mode noise, which generally results when the cabling system is subjected to electromagnetic fields. The common-mode test of the IEEE Standard 40.6.1.3.3 is used to determine the sensitivity of the 1000Base-T or 10GBASE-T receiver to common-noise from the link segment.
The Cable Clamps have a copper center conductor surrounded with high-density polyethylene dielectric and an aluminum outer case that acts as a conductor. All are made in the USA.
The CC-102/109 allows testing of Cat-6A and Cat-7 cables. The CC-101 and CC-102 have six thumb-bolts, allowing the release of the unit halves for cable insertion for testing purposes. The CC-109 has four spring latches for quick and easy test setups. Use of six bolts is optional. All units can test 1 to 10 Gigabits.
