The LinkXpert SQ is a smart network qualifier for copper and fiber optic links that also integrates Wi-Fi diagnostics. It expands the verification and troubleshooting capabilities of the LinkXpert series to include qualification options for higher Ethernet data rates.
10G copper qualification for Ethernet links
Ethernet speed test ranging from 10 Mbit/s through 100 Mbit/s, 1 Gbit/s, 2.5 Gbit/s, and 5 Gbit/s up to 10 Gbit/s
Qualification in just a few seconds
Integrated numerical TDR for troubleshooting copper cables
Fibre qualification up to 100 Gbit/s
For fibre optic, the LinkXpert SQ supports the evaluation of links for Ethernet applications at 1, 10, 40, and 100 Gbit/s
Measures attenuation and length values in accordance with IEEE 802.3
Auto mode is available for both copper and fibre optic. Additionally, AUTOTESTs can be predefined with site and network profiles, allowing recurring tests to be performed in a standardized and reproducible manner. Each AUTOTEST receives a unique PASS/FAIL evaluation; the corresponding PDF report is immediately available for download.
Comprehensive Ethernet and PoE++ diagnostic functions, PoE++ tests up to 90 W, and Wi-Fi diagnostics make the LinkXpert SQ a versatile tool for commissioning, service, and troubleshooting.
