Introduction
The Net Chaser Ethernet Speed Certifier & Network Tester offers a
complete solution to test copper cables. The Net Chaser performs speed
certification to test the data-carrying capabilities of electrical Ethernet
network cable up to 1 Gb/s by testing for noise in the network, detecting
faults in the cable wiring, and ensuring that cables are able to support the
speed capabilities of active equipment.
To certify Ethernet speed performance of copper cable runs, the Net
Chaser handheld tester conducts Bit Error Rate (BER) tests by sending data
packets down specified cable runs at defined data rates to check for errors
at the maximum throughput of the link. The Net Chaser also reports on
signal quality that can impact high-speed data transmission by measuring
signal to noise ratio (SNR). Skew measurements report on the signal time
delay between pairs that can impact Ethernet data transmission. The Net
Chaser also provides continuity testing that detects opens, shorts, miswires,
split pairs, reversals, and high-resistance faults while accurately measuring
distance to faults and total cable length.
The Net Chaser includes a comprehensive set of features for testing
active network capabilities: measure Power over Ethernet (PoE) to ensure
the correct power is available on the correct pins, use Port Discovery to
ensure the correct speed and duplex capability are available; connect
at gigabit Ethernet and run ping tests to verify connectivity to IP hosts;
discover network devices using Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) or Link Layer
Discovery Protocol (LLDP); VLAN discovery; Trace Route function displays the
path internet packets travel to reach a specified destination. The Net Chaser
also saves test reports and exports to PCs.
