NetXpert 1400 – Speed Certification, Cable Testing, Network Troubleshooting

The NetXpert 1400 provides a complete solution for cable qualification and troubleshooting of active networks, enabling rapid, simple verification and documentation of the capability of cabling links to support Gigabit Ethernet operation compliant with the IEEE 802.3ab standard.

Irrespective of the category of cables and connectors installed, a “Pass/Fail” result indicates whether the existing cabling can support data rates up to 1Gbit/s.

  • Tests network cabling and coaxial cabling
  • Qualifies data cabling for IEEE 802.3 compliance at transmission rates of up to 1Gbit/s (BERT)
  • Determines signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
  • Measures delay skew
  • Performs full TDR for pair length and distance to fault measurements
  • Full-color wire map shows opens, shorts, miswires, and split pairs
  • Results can be saved in the tester, and standards-based measurement reports providing ”Pass/Fail“ results can be generated
