What is ETHERLINE® GUARD?
ETHERLINE® GUARD is a stationary monitoring device that continuously monitors an Ethernet cable, detects a decline in performance and displays it with an easy-to-understand parameter - the cable status. Maintenance measures can be planned in advance based on the cable status as a value between 100% and 0%. The device supports copper-based Ethernet data cables compliant with 100BASE-TX according to IEEE 802.3 (at 100 Mbit/s) and is suitable, for example, for EtherCAT, EtherNET/IP and PROFINET applications.
