Who Is the LinkRunner AT 1500 For?
The LRAT1500 is ideal for:
If the job involves verifying network performance, validating installation work, or rapidly isolating connectivity issues, the LRAT1500 becomes an indispensable tool.
⚡ 7Second AutoTest for Fast, Repeatable Validation
Automatically verify every critical aspect of a network link, including:
Negotiated and advertised link speed (up to 1G; detects up to 10G)
Duplex settings
802.1X authentication
Switch name, slot, port, VLANs, and LLDP/CDP/EDP info
DHCP, DNS, and gateway responsiveness
PoE loading and voltage (TruePower™ test up to 90W)
Ping/TCP connectivity to user defined targets
All results can be saved, shared, or automatically uploaded to the LinkLive cloud platform.
🔍 Deep Network Visibility—Without Complexity
EZ Wired Test: Instant Link Understanding
The EZ Wired workflow gives technicians immediate visibility into:
Connected switch and port details
VLAN availability
MDI/MDIX connection
PoE voltage, wattage, and onpair power distribution
Link speed/duplex and interface characteristics
It combines the power of AutoTest with a more streamlined view for quick validation and troubleshooting.
🧰 Advanced Cable Testing Built In
The LRAT1500 includes a comprehensive cable diagnostics suite:
Length measurement and distance-to-fault
Detection of opens, shorts, miswires, and split pairs
Wire mapping via built-in port or WireView locators
Patch cable testing with pin-to-pin mapping
Cable location using:
Analog or IntelliTone™ signals
Switch port blink
LLDP/CDP/EDP port advertisement
Whether you’re validating structured cabling or tracking down a mislabeled drop, cable testing is fast and intuitive.
🔌 Reliable PoE Validation up to 90W
Using TruePower™ testing, the LRAT1500 verifies whether PO Enabled switches and injectors deliver the power they claim—under actual load conditions, not just advertised specs. This prevents surprises when deploying power hungry devices like APs, security cameras, and VoIP phones.
