NetAlly LinkRunner 10G Network Cable Tester - Professional Kit

The LinkRunner 10G is an Ethernet tester for Multi-Gig and 10 Gig networks, supporting copper and fibre connections. It simplifies network validation and configuration by performing comprehensive testing across all layers (1–7), from the media to the application. It greatly enhances the productivity of network installers and operations teams by speeding up the deployment process, quickly identifying problems, and streamlining workflow.

The lightweight LinkRunner 10G is equipped with features that mean it's perfect for use in the field, replacing many testers and taking away the need for large laptops. The intelligent smartphone-like interface allows users to authenticate and troubleshoot network issues from anywhere, in addition to doing all other tasks such as checking trouble tickets, running speed tests, and configuring devices.

With the LANBERT™ Media Qualification application, troubleshooting can further be enhanced by testing cabling infrastructure to determine maximum error-free bandwidth. It could save unnecessary, costly cabling upgrades through the measurement of possible infrastructure capabilities toward desired speeds. The Network Performance Test (NPT) application evaluates throughput, packet loss, and other parameters to stress-test critical network links and ensure optimal performance.

Key Features

• Install, test, verify, and troubleshoot Multi-Gig (NBASE-T) and 10G networks with advanced troubleshooting apps and purpose-built test hardware at line rate.
• Perform physical layer testing, including cable (TDR), toning, wiremapping, and LANBERT™ Media Qualification testing with cable SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) measurements for Multi-Gig links.
• Compatibility with standards-compliant SFPs enables testing and validation of any wired media (copper or fibre) for various use cases.
• Validate up to 90W 802.3bt PSE with TruePower™ loaded Power over Ethernet (PoE) testing.
• Use two LinkRunner 10G units for line-rate performance testing to verify network capacity, performance, QoS, and service provider SLAs between sites.
• The main RJ-45 port supports MultiGig networks (10/100/1000Mbps, 2.5G, 5G, 10G) to verify link speed, SNR, and duplex settings. It also supports PoE testing under load up to 90W.
• Interface with fibre networks using single/multi-mode SFP+ to test 1/10Gbps fibre-based Ethernet.
• The management RJ-45 port connects to 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet for remote control, network scanning, and cable testing.
• The SFP+ slot supports standards-based interfaces such as TwinAx, DAC cables, and vendor-specific transceivers.
• Supports third-party apps via the Link-Live app store for extended functionalities.
• The USB-A port allows connectivity for USB adapters and accessories such as printers, barcode scanners, and fibre optic inspection cameras.
• USB-C port supports higher-power chargers and external power packs for portable use.
• Using third-party apps supports wireless testing with a USB Wi-Fi adapter (e.g., Edimax n150).
• Layer 1-7 AutoTest helps technicians identify network problems and monitor networks periodically for up to 24 hours to detect intermittent issues.
• Automatically discovers devices in the network and generates topology maps* using Link-Live for up-to-date documentation and security insights.
• Line-rate capture up to 10Gbps ensures no packets are lost during testing.
• Supports LANBERT™ Media Qualification testing to validate if existing cabling can handle higher speeds.
