. The TC-NT3 transmitter will send a link pulse if an Ethernet link is active on the
cable or outlet. The tester begins blinking and the LED on the corresponding port
of the Hub or switch will also blink for easy identification.

: Hub Blink mode also generates a tone. Hub Blink mode can only be used on
non-shielded cables. Shielded cables will cause a misread and activate the Active
Link LED without an active connection.
Blink Hub/LINK/Tone Mode
Blink Hub mode is a quick way to identify if a network cable or outlet is connected to
an active network such as a hub, switch or router. Do not test a cable connected to
a live telephone system or AC/DC circuits (PoE injector/switch) in this mode. Doing
so will damage the TC-NT3.
