IDEAL Networks R157001

IDEAL Networks R157001 SignalTEK 10G FT Ethernet Troubleshooter and Bandwidth Tester with Fiber Testing measures 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.

R157001 SignalTEK 10G FT 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 create "proof of performance" PDF reports for clients.

Why do users need a 10G Ethernet Tester?

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. R157001 SignalTEK 10G FT will measure the maximum bandwidth available of the network, identify bottlenecks and discover opportunities to increase bandwidth without replacing expensive data cabling.

Increase the network speed from 1Gb/s to 10Gb/s

There are 111 billion metres of Cat5e/Cat6 cabling installed globally that is limited to 1Gb/s bandwidth speeds due to the current switches deployed. Upgrading to Multi-Gigabit switches could increase speed but it is unclear what bandwidth the existing cabling will support. Use R157001 SignalTEK 10G FT to verify what the data cabling will support (up to 10Gb/s) before spending money on new Multi-Gigabit switches that deliver 2.5/5/10Gb/s speeds.

What is the maximum error-free bandwidth the cabling / infrastructure can support?

The max throughput test takes the guesswork out of existing cabling infrastructure. With one test users can easily see what hardware or applications would work on an existing link saving time and reducing the cost of replacing expensive data cabling.

Meets network needs today and tomorrow

The R157001 SignalTEK 10G FT will help to increase network bandwidth without replacing expensive cable infrastructure, troubleshoot PoE and Ethernet issues and prove the maximum bandwidth up to 10 Gigabits per second.

PoE testing eliminates guesswork

The R157001 SignalTEK 10G FT eliminates guesswork when installing, maintaining and troubleshooting where PoE is deployed up to 90W (PoE++).

Adoption of Power over Ethernet (PoE)

In just a few short years we have seen many different applications increasing adopt PoE, such as monitors, digital signage, phones, security cameras, lighting and access control.

Previously technicians had to understand all the various standards, device power outputs and cable lengths to be sure a device will operate successfully.

The R157001 SignalTEK 10G FT identifies the Class of the PoE source and power available up to 90W to a PoE device regardless of cable length, cable quality or other factors. A clear pass/fail is provided to IEEE 802.3af/at/bt standards.

Fiber Testing

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

Test Management Software

The AnyWARE Cloud management system allows real time collaboration between Project Managers and Field Technicians. There is no need for Field Technicians to setup the R157001 SignalTEK 10G FT, Project Managers pre-configure the jobs and tests in the AnyWARE Cloud, eliminating potential mistakes and compressing the time taken to prepare reports for customers.

TeamViewer Live Support

Project Managers can connect to a R157001 SignalTEK 10G FT on the jobsite using AnyWARE Cloud to troubleshoot failed links therefore minimising troubleshooting time, increasing collaboration and reducing call-backs.

Access can be granted to IDEAL Networks Technical Support to allow further troubleshooting if required.
