LinkRunner 10G Advanced Network Tester

Description

The LinkRunner® 10G Advanced Multi-Gig/10G Cable & Network Tester is a high-performance, all-in-one handheld tester built for the demands of modern high-speed network environments. Designed for fast, accurate validation, troubleshooting, and documentation of Multi-Gig (NBASE-T) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks across copper and fiber, it combines essential testing features into a rugged, portable unit.

From advanced cable diagnostics to network discovery, path analysis, and 10G line-rate packet capture, the LinkRunner 10G delivers a powerful set of tools to streamline workflows and keep critical infrastructure operating at peak performance.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Multi-Gig & 10G Link Validation:
  Quickly verify link speed, duplex, and signal quality up to 10Gbps over copper and fiber. Diagnose mismatch issues and link speed downshifting with real-time SNR measurements.

• Comprehensive AutoTest (Layer 1-7):
  Automates VLAN identification, PoE testing (up to 90W with TruePower™), DHCP/DNS verification, gateway reachability, and service response — providing clear, repeatable test results.

• Network Discovery & Topology Mapping:
  Automatically discovers devices and generates detailed topology maps using the Link-Live™ platform, improving visibility and network documentation.

• LANBERT™ Media Qualification:
  Validates whether existing cabling infrastructure can reliably support 1G, 2.5G, 5G, or 10G speeds — helping avoid costly and unnecessary cabling upgrades.

• PoE Testing up to 90W:
  Accurately measure Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivery under load conditions to ensure safe, reliable operation of critical PoE devices.

• Performance Testing & iPerf Support:
  Run point-to-point UDP traffic streams or TCP/UDP throughput tests against NetAlly endpoints or iPerf servers to verify bandwidth, loss, latency, and jitter for SLA validation.

• 10G Line-Rate Packet Capture:
  Capture network traffic at full 10Gbps line-rate with zero packet loss, creating PCAP files for detailed analysis and troubleshooting.

• Switch Visibility & VLAN Analysis:
  Instantly detect connected switch port, switch details, and supported VLANs through xDP protocols — without the need for a laptop or protocol analyzer.

• Rugged, Portable Design:
  Compact, lightweight, and built to withstand field conditions, it eliminates the need for multiple devices, delivering reliable performance wherever the job takes you.

The LinkRunner 10G is the perfect solution for network professionals upgrading to higher-speed infrastructure, deploying new technologies, or maintaining critical high-capacity links.
