About Network Test Equipment

Network test equipment is used to test, probe, and analyze telecommunication, network, and telephone systems. Many different types of network testing equipment are available. Examples include breakout boxes, bit-error rate (BER) testers, network analyzers, and local area network (LAN) analyzers. Breakout boxes are multiconductor devices used to test and monitor signals such as timing signals, data signals, and control signals. Bit-error rate testers are devices or procedures that measure the BER for specific transmissions. Typically, this value is expressed as ten to a negative power so that, for example, a BER of BER of 10-9 means that for every Gigabit transmitted, one bit is sent or received in error. Network analyzers and local area network (LAN) analyzers monitor traffic on a network. This network test equipment collects information about packet sizes, the number of packets, error packets, overall usage of a connection, the number of hosts and their media access control (MAC) addresses, and details about communications between hosts and other devices.
