SIGNALTEK 10G – ETHERNET CABLE & BANDWIDTH TESTER

10G Ethernet Troubleshooter and Bandwidth Tester

Problem

There are 111 billion meters 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.

Solution

Use SignalTEK 10G to verify what the data cabling will support (up to 10Gb/s) before spending money on new Multi-Gigabit switches delivering 2.5/5/10Gb/s speeds.

Use the SignalTEK 10G again following the upgrade to prove performance to the client with the “proof of performance” PDF reports.

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 you can easily see what hardware or applications would work on an existing link saving time and reducing the cost of replacing expensive data cabling.

As simple as 1-2-3

Fiber Testing

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

Validate Fiber Link Speed – The fiber link speed test confirms the connection is 1G or 10G which can be affected by cable length or
signal loss.

Troubleshoot Fiber Cable Issues – The Tx & Rx optical power measurement is compared to the expected power level to determine attenuation in a fiber 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 fiber link up to 10Gb/s.

Discover a faulty SFP – The SFP temperature is measured to help understand if it has become faulty.

10G/Multi-Gigabit Performance

Meets your network needs today and tomorrow.

The SignalTEK 10G 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.
