Lan Testers
A cable tester is a device that is used to test the strength and connectivity of a particular type of cable or other wired assemblies. Basic cable testers are continuity testers that verify the existence of a conductive path between ends of the cable, and verify the correct wiring of connectors on the cable.

Crimper Tool
A crimping tool is a device used to conjoin two pieces of metal by deforming one or both of them in a way that causes them to hold each other. The result of the tool’s work is called a crimp. A good example of crimping is the process of affixing a connector to the end of a cable. For instance, network cables and phone cables are created using a crimping tool (shown below) to join the RJ-45 and RJ-11 connectors to the both ends of either phone or CAT5 cable. To use this crimping tool, each wire is first placed into the connector. Once all the wires are in the jack, the connector with wires are placed into the crimping tool, and the handles are squeezed together. Crimping punctures the plastic connector and holds each of the wires, allowing for data to be transmitted through the connector.![Crimper Tool](https://www.ahirlabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Crimper-Tool-256x300.jpg)
Punch-down tool
A punch down tool, also called a punchdown tool or a krone tool (named after the Krone LSA-PLUS connector), is a small hand tool used by telecommunication and network technicians. It is used for inserting wire into insulation-displacement connectors on punch down blocks, patch panels, keystone modules, and surface mount boxes (also known as biscuit jacks)![Punch-down tool working](https://www.ahirlabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Punch-down-tool-working-256x300.jpeg)

Its Transform Waves of DC,AC,Hz,MHz,GHz. its is costly a good Oscilloscope starting From 25,000-30,000rs. So before buy Learn properly at College Lab.![](https://www.ahirlabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Oscilloscope-300x200.jpg)
Signal Generator
Signal generators are electronic devices that generate electronic signals and waveform. These electronic signals are either repeating or non-repeating as per the requirements and field of applications. There are different types of signal generators with different level of capability and functionality. You Also make own Simple Signal Wave Form Gentrator : With Arduino you chose waveform shape (sine, triangular, sawtooth, or square) on both DAC channels and change the frequency of the generated signal. https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/DueSimpleWaveformGeneratorMaintenance Tips for Tools
Good quality tools that are being purchased can last a lifetime if they are taken care of properly. Ensure that the tools are used only for their intended purposes, keep them lubricated with a light film of oil to inhibit rust, keep the tools clean and sharp, keep the soldering tips clean and well tinned and ensure that proper use of the tools are always adhered to by following the instructions of using the tools.(Visited 1,005 times, 1 visits today)
