General
Connector type	RJ45

This product is a set of two RJ45 test leads, specifically designed as accessory or replacement part for the LAN tester C.A 7028 by Chauvin Arnoux. The leads are used for testing LAN connections and enable verification of network cables for integrity, wiring, and contact quality. They are designed as short connection cables to ensure precise and non-influencing measurement at the endpoints of a cable. The use is in conjunction with the CA 7028, a cable tester and fault identifier used for diagnosing Ethernet connections in IT infrastructure and network installation.

Applications
The test leads are intended for use in network infrastructure, particularly during installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of Ethernet connections. They support technicians in checking patch cables, network cables, and other RJ45 connections by establishing a direct connection between the tester and the cable under test. The short length of the leads minimizes influences from cable capacitance and inductance, which is important for accurate fault detection. Typical applications include IT system houses, network construction and maintenance, as well as industrial communication technology.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The set consists of two identical RJ45 test leads, each equipped with a connector at the end. The connectors are designed for connection to RJ45 ports, commonly found on network devices, switches, routers, or computers. The leads are manufactured as short cables to increase measurement accuracy and reduce the likelihood of errors caused by cable extension. The use is exclusively in conjunction with the CA 7028 tester, where the leads are plugged into the corresponding sockets of the device to contact the connection under test.

Technology Explained Simply
The RJ45 connectors on the test leads are standardized network connectors used for data transmission in Ethernet networks. The leads themselves consist of multiple individual conductors, each establishing an electrical connection between the contacts of the connector. The short length of the cables reduces the electrical length of the measurement path, thereby increasing the accuracy of fault detection. The leads are not designed for data transmission during normal network operation, but exclusively for diagnosing and testing connections. The connection is made via the mechanical contacts of the RJ45 connectors, establishing an electrical connection between the contacts in the tester and the cable under test.

Compatibility and Accessories
The test leads are specifically developed for the LAN tester C.A 7028 and can only be used in conjunction with this device. They are intended as replacement parts if the originally supplied leads are damaged or lost. Compatibility is limited to the CA 7028 model; use with other devices is not intended and not guaranteed. The leads are not suitable for other measurement tasks or other network testers.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply plugging the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding sockets of the CA 7028 tester. The other end of the lead is connected to the RJ45 port to be tested, for example, to a network cable connected to a switch or computer. The leads are not intended for permanent installation, but for temporary measurement tasks. No additional tools or mounting aids are required. The connection is mechanically stable, but not designed for mechanical stress or long-term use.

Operational Advantages
The use of these test leads enables fast and precise diagnosis of LAN connections. The short cable length minimizes error sources that could arise from longer connections. The leads are available as replacement parts, which facilitates maintenance and operation of the CA 7028 tester. The connection is made without additional adapters or converters, simplifying work processes. The leads are specifically designed for use with the CA 7028, ensuring optimal compatibility and reliability.
