Wiring tester with length measurement and fault localization via TDR and network connection test
The SOFTING LinkXpert TP is the perfect companion for troubleshooting copper cabling and LAN Ethernet issues - in both SoHo and office environments, as well as in industrial applications.
The device offers a unique combination of cabling tests and comprehensive Ethernet network diagnostics to assist users in resolving daily issues in Ethernet networks and keeping the network running 24/7.
For network commissioning, the LinkXpert can perform automatic tests that can be configured by the user. For example, if new PoE switches have been introduced, it can be configured to test only PoE up to 90W and provide port information such as LLDP. For troubleshooting, users can also perform all tests individually.
- Comprehensive copper network diagnostics with a handy device for commissioning and maintenance
- Optimized for copper tests up to 1 Gbit/s and PoE++ 90 W
- Extensive documentation capabilities
- Internal PDF generator
- External test management software
- 5.25" TFT touchscreen
- Integrated LED flashlight
From SoHo to enterprise networks, today's copper networks are becoming increasingly complex, with a variety of different devices and power over Ethernet. A portable network multitool is essential to master these modern networks.
