Industrial Ethernet Diagnostics: Products and Solutions

PROlinetest – PROFINET Cable Tester

The PROlinetest supports troubleshooting and installation of PROFINET/Ethernet networks with copper cabling. This device performs a physical, offline analysis to check the correct wiring of the wire pairs and shielding. With the integrated cable database and TDR measurement, it accurately locates installation issues up to 150 meters, simplifying the troubleshooting process. Certification is not possible with this device.

ETHERtest V5 – Ethernet and PROFINET Certification

The ETHERtest V5 is an advanced tool for certifying Industrial Ethernet, PROFINET, and optionally fiber optic cables. It measures and documents various parameters such as cable length, resistance, and attenuation, and creates detailed certification reports. The tester supports certification standards up to Class FA/Category 6A and can store up to 1,200 measurements. It complies with ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA 568 standards.
