Industrial Ethernet networks are the backbone of many automation control systems. Cables, whether copper or fiber optic, are a major cause of downtime on these time-sensitive industrial networks. Losing just a few data packets in a short period of time can shut down a computer. This is especially true in industrial and manufacturing environments where network cables are exposed to vibration, bending, moisture, temperature changes and EMI from motor drives and other devices. Fluke Networks has a range of robust, high-quality industrial Ethernet tools and testers that can be used by facility electricians and control engineers to quickly find cable faults.
