Study Notes
Measurement and Testing Tools
- Digital multimeter: a device that takes multiple types of measurements to test circuit integrity and electricity quality in computer components, displaying information on an LCD or LED screen.
Cable Testing Tools
- Loopback adapter (or loopback plug): a port-specific adapter that tests the basic functionality of computer ports.
Cable Tracing Tool
- Toner probe: a two-part tool consisting of a toner connected to a cable (via adapters like RJ-45, coaxial, or metal clips) that generates a tone, and a probe that traces the cable, allowing the tone to be heard through a speaker when near the attached cable.
Network Cable Testing Tool
- LAN Tester: a tool primarily used to test ethernet cables for faults or missing pair connections.
ESD Protection Tools
- Anti-static wrist strap: designed to prevent static electricity buildup and safely ground operators working with ESD-sensitive components.
- Anti-static mat: helps protect static-sensitive components from electrostatic discharge.
- Anti-static bag: a storage bag for electronic components prone to damage from electrostatic discharge.
