The Kurth Electronic Copper Testing (KECT) module with its improved interference immunity is the ideal measuring tool for technicians testing, troubleshooting and qualifying performance parameters of copper pairs of traditional and modern broadband access systems.
As an optional module for the powerful xDSL MULTITEST test equipment family the Copper Test module allows an accurate analysis and a complete overview of transmission parameters as well as the physical assessment of copper lines under test.
