SimplyTEST SignalTEK CT Cable Certifier with Touchscreen — ST-156006
The ST-156006 SignalTEK CT is a professional touchscreen cable certifier for Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A, and Cat7 structured cabling — meeting ANSI/TIA 568.2-D certification requirements on Canadian commercial, institutional, and government projects. It delivers TIA-568 pass/fail certification reports that satisfy project specifications, building owners, and warranty registration requirements — at a significantly lower cost than comparable Fluke Networks instruments.
Why Canadian Contractors Are Switching to SignalTEK
TIA-568 cable certification is mandatory on federal, provincial, healthcare, and most institutional projects in Canada. Historically, the only practical options were Fluke DSX instruments at $15,000–25,000 CAD. The SignalTEK CT delivers ANSI/TIA-568 compliant certification at a fraction of the price — making dedicated certification tools accessible to independent contractors and smaller cabling companies who previously had to rent or subcontract certification work.
The touchscreen interface allows intuitive test navigation and report generation in the field. Test results store directly on the unit and can be exported to professional PDF certification reports for client handover documentation.

SignalTEK CT vs SignalTEK NT — Which Certifier Do You Need?
The ST-156006 SignalTEK CT certifies Cat5e through Cat6A — covering 99% of Canadian commercial structured cabling installed today. The ST-156005 SignalTEK NT adds Cat7 and Cat7A testing (Class F/FA) for data centres, healthcare, and projects where future-proof infrastructure is specified.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the SignalTEK CT produce reports accepted on Canadian federal government projects?
The ST-156006 produces ANSI/TIA 568.2-D certification reports. Acceptance of specific test equipment on federal projects is at the authority of the project specification and engineer of record. Consult your project specifications for approved test equipment lists.
What is the advantage of SignalTEK CT over just using a verifier?
A verifier (like the VDV II series) only confirms wire map — it does not measure bandwidth parameters like NEXT, insertion loss, or return loss. Only a certifier can produce a TIA-568 pass/fail result that meets commercial project warranty requirements.
Is Sapphire Care Plan (extended warranty/calibration service) available for the SignalTEK CT?
Yes. SimplyTEST Sapphire Care Plans (ST-SCP1YR, ST-SCP2YR, ST-SCP3YR) provide extended coverage. Contact SimplyControlled.ca for pricing.
