Gigabit Network Tester
Gigabit Network Tester
Ideal Industries has launched the new LanXPLORER PRO, an in-line Gigabit Network Tester capable of troubleshooting passive and active LAN connections over both copper and fibre, and featuring a Network Discovery/Verify function to identify all active network devices and compare them against previous device lists. Aimed at installers, IT administrators, network technicians, system integrators and cable installers, LanXPLORER PRO cost-effectively meets the testing needs of professionals installing or maintaining IT systems in an enterprise, campus or industrial Ethernet environment. In addition to testing active LAN connections over copper and fibre, the LanXPLORER PRO can wirelessly connect to LANs via Wi-Fi (802.11 b, g and n), meaning the user doesn't need to make physical contact with the network. Devices like printers are often added to networks without the IT administrator's knowledge – and when such items are configured incorrectly, problems can occur. The LanXPLORER PRO has a Network Discovery/Verify function that will immediately identify these rogue devices. It further reduces downtime by being able to compare a previously stored network device list against the current device list, making any changes to the network easily identifiable. An advanced, best-in-class wire mapping function provides cable length and distance-to-fault information, and can test by pin and pair, displaying wiring faults such as opens, shorts and split pairs. The LanXPLORER PRO achieves a high level of test capability, yet is simple to use and easy to understand. Most tests can be completed in just three steps, thanks to a "virtual keypad" for faster data input, a 3.5-inch colour touchscreen interface, and an icon-driven menu navigation system. Ideal Industries, Inc., USA, has been serving the electrical industry since 1916. It is one of the world's leading manufacturers of professional quality tools and supplies serving installation professionals in the construction, maintenance, and data communications and original equipment manufacturing industries.
