Softing NetXpert 1?Gb/s Ethernet Cable Qualifier – 1-Week Hire
The Softing NetXpert 1?Gb/s is the original Ethernet cable qualifier built to verify copper cabling performance for 1?Gigabit networks. Available for short-term hire, this tester is ideal for site verification, troubleshooting, or temporary commissioning needs without investment in newer XG2 models.
Why Choose the Classic 1?Gb/s NetXpert?
- Mechanical simplicity & reliability – Proven design without modular licensing or fiber options
- Focused gigabit support – Excellent for verifying existing 1?Gb network infrastructure
- Cost-effective access – Perfect for occasional use or one-off project requirements
Essential Qualification Features
- Bit Error Rate Test (BERT) – Confirms error-free data transmission at gigabit speed over copper pairs
- Wiremap Diagnostics – Detects opens, shorts, miswires, split pairs, and continuity
- Length Measurement & Fault Location – Uses TDR to measure cable length and locate faults
- Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) & Delay Skew – Checks cable quality to ensure timing integrity and interference margins
Built-in Network Diagnostic Tools
- Ping and traceroute tests (IPv4)
- PoE/PoE+ load test and voltage check
- DHCP client test, switch port blink
- LLDP/CDP and VLAN identification
Simple UI & Reporting
The unit includes a colour display with touchscreen (depending on batch), intuitive menu operation, and options to save results on-device or to USB/PC for PDF or CSV report generation—handy for client documentation.
Great for These Scenarios:
- Short-term verification of newly installed copper cabling
- Temporary troubleshooting of gigabit performance
- Commissioning of network projects without long-term equipment purchase
Important Note: This version does not support fiber, multi-gigabit, or modular upgrades. For advanced needs, see the NetXpert XG2 series.
