TREND Networks TRADE157003 - 10G Ethernet Troubleshooter and Bandwidth Tester with Fibre and Network Testing, TRADE-IN

The TREND Networks TRADE157003 allows you to trade-in your tester for a new SignalTEK 10G with fiber and network testing.

The SignalTEK 10G is used to measure the maximum bandwidth of the network cabling up to 10 Gigabits per second. By simulating actual network traffic users can test, troubleshoot, and document network and data cable performance up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet standards.

SignalTEK 10G has built-in Wi-Fi connectivity to connect seamlessly to the free AnyWARE Cloud test management system. AnyWARE Cloud offers pre-configuration to eliminate errors on-site, label printer connectivity to save time, and “proof of performance” PDF reports for the clients.

Why do I need a 10G Ethernet Tester?

Problem:

LAN networks are at risk of expensive downtime and lost productivity due to the ever-increasing demand of bandwidth hungry services such as video streaming, video conferencing, CCTV cameras and Wi-Fi access points.

Solution:

SignalTEK 10G will measure the maximum bandwidth available of the network, identify bottlenecks and discover opportunities to increase bandwidth without replacing expensive data cabling.

Avoid network downtime

Troubleshoot Ethernet connectivity issues faster using diagnostic tools.

Pinpoint bottlenecks faster

Discover which part of your network is causing the bottleneck.

Validate network upgrades

Verify Multi-Gigabit switch upgrades to 1/2.5/5 and 10Gb/s speeds.

As Simple as 1-2-3

Fibre Testing

Verify fibre link speed to 1G or 10G, measure optical power and data throughput.

• Validate Fibre Link Speed – The fibre link speed test confirms the connection is 1G or 10G which can be affected by cable length or signal loss.
• Troubleshoot Fibre Cable Issues – The Tx & Rx optical power measurement is compared to the expected power level to determine attenuation in a fibre link. This indicates if the connector is dirty or damaged which is the number one cause of failure.
• Easy to understand traffic light status – The simple traffic light indicator displays Good, Marginal or Poor power level based on IEEE 802.3 1G/10G limits.
• Max throughput test – The SignalTEK 10G will prove the maximum available bandwidth over the fibre link up to 10Gb/s.
• Discover a faulty SFP – The SFP temperature is measured to help understand if it has become faulty.

Network Testing

The SignalTEK 10G is also a network tester for troubleshooting and maintenance of active and passive copper and fibre networks.

PoE Testing Eliminates Guesswork

The SignalTEK 10G eliminates guesswork when installing, maintaining and troubleshooting where PoE is deployed up to 90W (PoE++).

No more trial and error

Accurately measure the maximum power available.

Supports PoE up to 90W (PoE++)

Test all PoE Classes (0-8) and Types (af/at/bt).

Identifies the powered pairs

Determine whether power is from a switch or mid-span injector.

Verify the PoE installation

Pass / Fail indication to IEEE standards.

Extended power test

Some switches may provide power exceeding their IEEE Class rating. Measure the maximum available power up to 90 watts.
