Expertly manage operational networks with the industrial ethernet cable and network tester that troubleshoots ethernet failures and optimizes infrastructure. By verifying cable performance up to 10 Gb/s, the unit solves network connectivity problems and keeps production lines running smoothly and efficiently.
Expertly manage operational networks with the industrial ethernet cable and network tester that troubleshoots ethernet failures and optimizes infrastructure. By verifying cable performance up to 10 Gb/s, the unit solves network connectivity problems and keeps production lines running smoothly and efficiently.
Using frequency-based measurements, the cable and network tester provides distance to fault information along with a wire map of the cable under test. By performing nearest switch diagnostics to identify key network issues and validate switch configuration, the tester helps to optimize the network and manage results via the included LinkWare software.
Features
Cable testing you trust
The LinkIQ™ is capable of measuring lengths up to 1000' (305 m) and provides distance to faults such as opens, shorts, and unterminated cable. Using the industrial ethernet remote adapter allows for a complete wire map of the cable pairs which helps identify miswired and split pairs on RJ45, M12X, M12D, and M8D terminated cables. The LinkIQ™ supports EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT and other industrial ethernet protocols and qualifies the cabling bandwidth from 10BASE-T to 10GBASE-T (10 Mb/s up to 10 Gb/s). It qualifies the cabling bandwidth by taking multiple frequency-based measurements. Using IEEE-standards based measurements ensures that tested links meet performance requirements as opposed to transmission testers which only prove that the specific test devices can communicate over the link.
Network testing you need
Along with the robust cable testing features, the LinkIQ also provides detailed information on the nearest connected switch. The LinkIQ negotiates with the switch to identify the advertised data rate (up to 10GBASE-T), half/full duplex identification, the switch name, port number, and VLAN info.
In-depth PoE testing
While Power over Ethernet makes installation of devices such as security cameras and access points simpler, a survey by the Ethernet Alliance of over 800 installers, integrators and end users found that four of five respondents experienced difficulties in integrating PoE systems. Part of this can be traced to the fact that the IEEE offers three PoE standards, the term "PoE" is not registered and there are a variety of non-standards-compliant implementations as well. To simplify PoE installation and troubleshooting, the LinkIQ displays the pairs where power is provided, including the different power levels and pairs for dual-signature implementations. Further, the LinkIQ will actually place a load on the connection to ensure that the advertised power is actually being delivered by the switch across the cabling infrastructure.
