The parascope GigE provides a range of advanced diagnostic tools such as Ping, Trace route, Blink HUB port locator , cable length optic testing and more. Once the basic functionality of the link is proven the Parascope GigE tester can then be used to performer BER testing and the full, or partial, RFC-2544 test suite. Once the Ethernet functionality is checked this versatile tester can be used to generate multiple streams, whether they be constant, bursty or ramped traffic, to emulate real-life conditions

With FE's Parascope GigE Handheld tester it is now possible for every installation engineer to have a complete Ethernet installation tester, capable of performing a range of Layer1,2 and 3 applications, in his tool case.  With a high resolution TFT colour screen, user defined test profiles and rechargeable lithium batteries the Parascope GigE is the ideal tool for metro and carrier Ethernet installation and maintenance technicians.
