Industrial Ethernet Cable Testing

July 6, 2010
Optimized for LAN testing efficiency, the IENet PRO Industrial Ethernet Cable Tester provides instant verification of two-pair and four-pair Industrial Ethernet cables, and to assure proper termination by detecting opens, shorts, miswires, reversals and split pairs.

The ergonomic design provides a single-button push selects between voice, 2 and 4 pair data , or video, keeping user interactions at a minimum to help prevent mistakes and unnecessary repetitions. In addition to detecting wiring faults, the device will measure cable length and indicate a correct wiremap to T568A/B standards for shielded and unshielded cabling.

Other benefits include warnings of voltages on cables, blink network hubs for visual cable tracing and will generate four unique tones to make fault isolation easier. Straightforward "pass" or "miswire" results are displayed in the PROFINET Industrial Ethernet format on the unit's LCD screen.

Dan Payerle, Business Unit Manager for IDEAL, says,"As Industrial Ethernet spread across the network infrastructures of today's manufacturing and processing plants, the risk of costly downtime due to cabling faults increases."
