Advanced PoE/PoE+ testing
Customers who have previously purchased SignalTEK II & SignalTEK II FO models can upgrade their tester by purchasing the approved USB Wi-Fi adapter (Edimax EW-7811Un) and downloading the latest software.
Features:
Cable Installation - Network traffic performance test on copper and fibre to IEEE802.3ab standard. Wiremap test for open, shorts, miswires and split pairs to TIA-568 standard. Gigabit link verification for copper and fibre cabling
Cabling - Network load testing through switches simulating CCTV/IPTV/VoIP/Web traffic. PoE/PoE+ verification that displays available voltage at device location. Check Ethernet connectivity at device location to 10/100/1000 Mb/s. Verify network configuration (device IP/gateway address/subnet mask). Switch port identification via LLDP/CDP protocols
Troubleshooting & Diagnostics:
Cabling - Distance to fault using TDR technology (copper only). Ability to identify and trace cables with a compatible amplifier probe (62-164). Optical power indication (with compatible SFP modules). Network load testing through switches simulating CCTV/IPTV/VoIP/Web traffic. Stress test network before installing bandwidth hungry devices. Port blink to visually trace cable from work area outlet to network switch. Displays port ID of LLDP/CDP enabled switches to eliminate manual cable tracing.
Identify network connection problems as hardware, network or configuration faults. Ping local network devices and Internet URL’s. Count number of hops between network points with traceroute tests. PoE load testing to confirm available power meets PoE device requirements
Applications - SignalTEK NT is used to quickly prove that Ethernet will work correctly after installation in cable installations such as SOHO or residential cabling where cable certification is cost prohibitive or where the end customer does not require the cable manufacturer’s warranty programs. Workstation or Laptop has an extremely slow network access.
SignalTEK NT can be used to run a simplified transmission test to check network performance. A 100Mb/s LAN environment gets upgraded to 1 Gb/s. SignalTEK NT can be used to check if the existing (old) cabling can support up to 1Gb/s Ethernet. An existing LAN installation gets upgraded to VoIP. SignalTEK NT can be used to check if both the cabling as well as the active components can support VoIP traffic.
After MACs (Moves/Adds/Changes) of active devices, SignalTEK NT can be used to ensure minimum bandwidth requirements are met. In industrial Ethernet applications, SignalTEK NT can be used to verify cabling performance to 100Mb/s or Gigabit requirements. SignalTEK NT can be used to test throughput of an industrial Ethernet LAN

Upgrade your current SignalTEK 10G Ethernet tester with more features and functionality.
SignalTEK 10G is a future-proof investment as additional features can be unlocked with a simple license key when required. There are two upgrade options to choose from: fibre testing and advanced network testing:
Fibre Testing
(UPGRADE10GFIB)
Testing Scenario
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
(UPGRADE10GNET)
Port & network summary info
Press the Autotest button to display summary information and allow for detailed inspection of network parameters.
VLAN detection & operation
Automatic detection of VLAN IDs allows the user to configure SignalTEK 10G for operation on a VLAN.
Custom Wiremap
Use a list of wiremap templates for common Ethernet cable types as well as non-Ethernet cables, such as Profinet and ISDN.
CDP/LLDP/EDP port information
Show port information using Cisco Discovery Protocol (CPD). Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) and Extreme Discovery Protocol (EDP).
Netscan
Display list of IP and MAC addresses of every device connected to
the network.
72-hour event log
Find rogue devices and intermittent issues using the 72-hour event log.
