NOYAFA Network Cable Tester or CCTV Tester – Which Should Installers Choose Malaysia
NOYAFA Network Cable Tester or CCTV Tester – Which Should Installers Choose Malaysia
Should you buy a NOYAFA network cable tester or a CCTV tester?
Start with the problem you need to solve.
A network cable tester focuses on supported cable checks. A CCTV tester may provide camera-related functions, depending on the model.
For installers in Malaysia, choosing by the instrument's name alone can lead to missing an essential function.
1. When Is a Network Cable Tester Suitable?
A network cable tester is worth considering when your main work involves:
Checking RJ45 wiring
Tracing supported cables
Identifying cable endpoints
Measuring cable length, where supported
Performing specified PoE-related checks
Confirm each function for the exact model.
A cable tester does not automatically display camera video or configure an IP camera.
2. When Should You Consider a CCTV Tester?
Consider a CCTV tester when the job requires functions such as:
Viewing a supported camera image
Checking camera operation during installation
Assisting with camera positioning
Performing supported IP-camera or network checks
The available functions vary between models.
Confirm camera compatibility before purchasing.
A tester suitable for one video format or camera arrangement may not support another.
3. IP Cameras and Analogue Cameras Need Different Checks
Tell the supplier whether you work with IP cameras, analogue cameras or both.
Provide:
Camera brand and model
Video format, where applicable
Connection type
Power requirements
Functions you want the tester to perform
Avoid requesting only “a CCTV tester for all cameras”.
Compatibility depends on the exact camera and tester capabilities.
4. Cable Testing and Camera Testing Answer Different Questions
An installer may need both types of check during the same job.

PoE detection and PoE power output are different functions.
Do not assume that a device which identifies PoE can also power a camera.
5. Decide Whether One Instrument Covers Your Work
A multifunction instrument may be convenient if its capabilities match your regular tasks.
However, check:
Supported cable tests
Camera compatibility
Power-output limits
Included leads and adapters
Operating duration
Size and handling requirements
One instrument may cover the routine work, while a separate tester may still be needed for a specialised task.
Compare the required functions rather than the total number of advertised features.
6. Prepare a Practical Enquiry
Before requesting a quotation, explain:
The cameras you install
The cable types you check
Whether you need cable tracing
Whether you need local video display
Whether the tester must supply camera power
Any required network or PoE checks
This helps narrow down suitable options without assuming that every model provides the same functions.
