Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of network tester technology, specifically to a modular network tester that is easy to expand and connect. Background Technology
[0002] Network testers are powerful tools for ensuring smooth network operation and are widely used in various network environments. They integrate multiple testing functions, quickly determining the connectivity of network cables and accurately locating faults such as line breaks and short circuits. Simultaneously, they can test network transmission speed, signal strength, and stability, assessing whether network performance meets standards. In enterprise office network construction, home broadband troubleshooting, and large data center operation and maintenance, network testers, with their intuitive test results and convenient operation, help technicians quickly diagnose network problems and take timely remedial measures, ensuring that the network efficiently and stably serves various activities such as daily office work, entertainment, and data transmission. However, existing network testers still have some problems in use:
[0003] For example, a portable network tester with application number 202122259708.7 has the following technical solution: it includes a network tester body, and a connecting mechanism is movably connected to the lower internal position of the network tester body. The connecting mechanism includes a connecting belt, a first rotating plate, a correction plate, a second rotating shaft, a second rotating plate, an iron sheet, a magnet, a connecting ring, a spring, and a third rotating shaft. The connecting ring is movably connected to the lower left internal position of the network tester body. The spring is fixedly connected to the upper inner surface of the connecting ring. The connecting belt is movably connected between the outer surfaces of the two connecting rings. The first rotating plate is movably connected to the front and rear ends of the right internal position of the network tester body. However, the existing network tester has a simple connection module design, which only adapts to specific types of interfaces. When facing diverse connection requirements, it is difficult to be compatible, which limits the application range of the tester in complex network environments. Moreover, the existing tester lacks an effective fixing mechanism during testing. It is easily shaken and displaced by factors such as personnel walking around and equipment moving at the testing site, and cannot guarantee stable placement during the testing process.
[0004] In view of this, in-depth research was conducted on the above issues, which led to the creation of this case.
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, an innovative design was implemented based on the existing network tester. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular network tester that is easy to expand and connect, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the dedicated connection module and the inability to guarantee stable placement during the testing process.

[0014] Using the above technical solution, the third connection hole is a coaxial interface, which can be plugged into a coaxial cable, making the tester usable for testing coaxial cable networks. This is very convenient for testing some traditional cable television networks or specific industrial control networks.
[0015] Preferably, a rotating socket is hinged inside the first slot, and a pin is connected above the rotating socket.
[0016] Using the above technical solution, the rotating socket hinged in the first slot and the pin above it allow the rotating socket to rotate flexibly, facilitating the connection of power supply to replenish the battery in the network test at different angles, thus improving the flexibility of the connection.
[0017] Preferably, a movable frame is slidably connected inside the second slot, and a support plate is provided below the movable frame.
[0018] Using the above technical solution, the movable frame and the support plate below are slidably connected in the second slot. The sliding design of the movable frame makes it easy to adjust the height of the support plate to adapt to different placement planes and testing environments.
[0019] Preferably, sliding rods are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides above the support plate, and the sliding rods pass through the bottom of the movable frame, and several suction cups are connected to the rear side of the support plate.
[0020] Using the above technical solution, the slide bar above the support plate passes through the bottom of the movable frame, and the suction cup connected to the rear side of the support plate ensures that the support plate can move back and forth, and ensures that the suction cup can be attached to the plane, preventing the tester from shaking or shifting during the test, and ensuring the stability of the test process.
