General
Number of identifiers	8

This product is an accessory set for network and cable testers from Softing IT Networks GmbH, consisting of eight link and cable identifiers marked #1 to #8. It serves as a supplement for the CableMaster and NetXpert series, particularly for models CM500, CM600/650, CM800/850, NetXpert 1400, and NetXpert XG. The identifiers enable precise assignment of cables and connections during wiring tests, thereby improving the efficiency of fault diagnosis and localization in network environments. The devices are designed for use in professional installations where clear identification of individual lines is required to quickly detect fault sources.

Applications
The identifiers are used in the installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of network cables, especially in structured cabling systems. They are used in combination with the mentioned cable testers to verify the wiring of cables at both ends and ensure correct assignment of lines. This is particularly relevant during the commissioning of new networks, inspection of existing infrastructures, or localization of breaks, short circuits, or incorrect wiring. The numbering from #1 to #8 enables systematic and unambiguous identification, simplifying documentation and maintenance.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
Each of the eight identifiers is marked with a unique number, enabling assignment to a specific cable or line in the network. The identifiers are designed for use with Softing cable testers CM500, CM600/650, CM800/850, NetXpert 1400, and NetXpert XG. They support wiring tests, in which the correct arrangement of conductors in the cable is verified. The numbering facilitates result assignment in the test device, allowing the technician to quickly identify which cable or line has an issue. The identifiers are designed as accessories for the mentioned devices and extend their functionality.

Technology Explained Simply
The identifiers work in combination with cable testers that feature an integrated Wiremap function. A signal is sent from one end of the cable and received by the identifier at the other end, which returns the signal according to its numbering (e.g., #3). The test device recognizes the number and assigns it to the corresponding line. This enables precise assignment, especially in complex cabling with many parallel cables. The technology is based on signal transmission through cable conductors, with the identifiers acting as passive elements that detect the signal and return the numbering.

Compatibility and Accessories
The set is specifically developed for cable testers from the CableMaster and NetXpert series, including models CM500, CM600/650, CM800/850, NetXpert 1400, and NetXpert XG. It is intended as an accessory for these devices and extends their functionality in wiring diagnostics. The identifiers are not suitable for other devices or brands, as they are tailored to the specific signal transmission and communication of Softing testers. The numbering from #1 to #8 is standardized and enables unambiguous assignment within the test.

Installation and Mounting
The identifiers are connected to one end of the cable to be tested, with the numbering assigned to the respective cable or line. The other end of the cable is connected to the cable tester, which performs the wiring test. The identifiers are passive and require no additional power supply or configuration. Mounting is done by simply inserting them into the cable end, with the numbering remaining visible to ensure correct assignment. Installation is quick and requires no special tools.

Operational Advantages
Using the identifiers reduces error rates in wiring inspection, as line assignment is unambiguous and documentable. This saves time during troubleshooting and increases the reliability of the network infrastructure. The numbering simplifies documentation and maintenance, especially in larger projects with many cables. Compatibility with the specified Softing testers ensures seamless integration into existing workflows.
