Copper Cable & Network Tests

Due to its compact and robust design, the visual error detector is ideal for daily use. Use in all fiber optic applications, e.g. in data centers, outdoors, in industrial applications environments, as well as in laboratories. The Visual Faul Locator from Softing IT Networks is characterized, among other things, by with several practical features, such as its special, roll-resistant shape, the cap that is captive against dust and impact and its extremely robust housing. The Visual Fault Locator can be easily and with only one hand and is powered by AAA standard batteries. The practical holder makes it easy to hang up the VFL at any time.

END OF LIFE

Scope of Delivery (CM550)

Extensive network diagnosis with a hand held device for network commissioning and maintenance on copper
Optimized for copper testing up to 1Gb/s and PoE++ 90 W
Comprehensive documentation capabilities, internal PDF generator and external test management software

LinkXpert TP is the perfect companion to troubleshoot copper cabling as well as LAN Ethernet problems both in SoHo and office environments as well as in industrial applications. The device offers a unique combination of cabling tests and extensive ethernet network diagnosis to help users solving daily issues in Ethernet networks and to keep the network up and running 24/7. For commissioning networks, LinkXpert can run automated tests that can be configured by the user. For example if new PoE switches had been rolled out, LinkXpert can be configured to just test PoE up to 90W and obtain port information like LLDP. For troubleshooting, users can also run all tests individually.

Scope of Delivery (LinkXpert M3)

Copper, Coax:

Most verification tools check on basic continuity of copper and coaxial connections. Wiremap and toning are the basic functions. Most advanced test tools include additional features such as Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) to determine cable length, identify a faulty spot or connection with a switch.

Fiber:

On the fiber side, a simple Visual Fault Locator (VFL) could be considered a verification tool as it verifies contiguous fiber connections and fiber polarity.

Extensive network diagnosis for network commissioning and maintenance on all 3 media (copper, fiber and Wi-Fi) in a hand held device
Future proof performance with 10Gb/s and PoE++ 90 W
Automated PASS/FAIL certification of fiber optic connector end-faces with Softing fiber microscope (optional accessory)
Fiber optic polarity check with visual fault locator
Comprehensive documentation capabilities, internal PDF generator and external test management software

LinkXpert M3 is a versatile cabling and network trobleshooter that helps solving network issues from cabling up to complex Ethernet related problems. With connectivity to all 3 media, copper, fiber and Wi-Fi, LinkXpert M3 is perfect for diagnosing any common LAN Ethernet media. The device offers a unique combination of cabling tests and extensive ethernet network diagnosis on copper, fiber and Wi-Fi to help users solving daily issues in Ethernet networks and to keep the network up and running 24/7. For commissioning networks, LinkXpert can run automated tests that can be configured by the user. For example if new PoE switches had been rolled out, LinkXpert can be configured to just test PoE up to 90W and obtain port information like LLDP. For troubleshooting, users can also run all tests individually, e. g. just use the optional video microscope to inspect fiber optic connectors.

Was the cable installed correctly ?

Verifiers are "must have tools" for network technicians and contractors. They give a reliable answer on the question above in a very low cost. Verification test tools allow you to see if the cable is properly connected. In some cases, there are more features and functions integrated in a verifier.

That being said, verification tools are simple-to-use low cost tools that are often the first line of defense in finding cabling problems.

The CableMaster 500 is designed to test and measure lengths of all common low voltage cabling found in today’s network, video or telephone systems. It also maps the locations of cable ends by sending a tone on the cable that can be traced with a tone tracer or by blinking the LED on the port jack. The CableMaster 500 has a large, bright backlit LCD display and glow-in-the-dark buttons to directly access each function. The remote stores inside the main unit for ease of cable testing.
