Here's what others are saying about Pockethernet

I work in a school and have found my pockethernet invaluable. Resolved PoE Voip phone problems. WiFi AP connectivity issues, dodgy network points in classrooms. The list goes on.......
Richard MahoneyOperations manager at stratanet
After just a couple of weeks of ownership, today my new Pockethernet has really shown its value – locating the distance of the fault led me to a very tight corner of a roof space which otherwise would not have been obvious. Thanks Pockethernet, you literally saved the day!'
Pockethernet comes with 20+ Features that are essential for anybody working with Ethernet networks
Cable tester
Check the Ethernet link, speed and duplex settings; view traffic samples, VLAN tags and CDP/LLDP information.
Link Analyzer
Find cable faults and verify installations. Do wiremapping, length measurement, TDR fault detection, PoE voltage testing, BER measurements or enable the cable toner
IP analyzer
See DHCP results; check DNS resolution, HTTP queries, and Ping.
Export the results
Immediately send out the measurement results from your smartphone app in PDF form or share them through a phone’s OS's native share menu for further processing.(example report here)

Wiremap including shield
Check whether pins on RJ45 jacks have been crimped in the correct order. Pockethernet as well tests the shield for continuity.
TDR
Advanced cable testing with only one end connected to Pockethernet. Determine how long a cable is and if it contains any short circuits, split pairs or bad terminations. Pockethernet also detects if a cable is connected to a switched-off computer or switch.
Graphical TDR
Generate a graph of signal reflections throughout the entire cable length. You can view the length of connected cables and any imperfections they may have (such as extenders or patch panels).
VLAN support
Set the VLAN tags, PCP and DEI for outgoing DNS, DHCP, HTTP and Ping requests. View tagged and untagged traffic with the traffic monitor.
Network discovery (CDP, LLDP)
View the content of CDP and LLDP messages to identify network ports more easily. If the switch port supports it, you can instantly view the connected chassis and port ID as well as the native VLAN.
Voltage detection
Find out if any pairs have a phone line or passive PoE connected to them. This allows you to detect services and to protect your network equipment.
PoE supply detection
Measure the presence and voltage of Power over Ethernet to ensure a sufficient power supply for your PoE devices.
Cable toner with customizable tones
Determine the location of cables in a wall and identify single cables in batches or at patch panels. You can set different tones and even control their volume to keep signals separate.
Bit error rate test (10/100/1000)
Real-world cable quality measurement at gigabit speeds. Measure packet length, payload and configure the number of test packets.
Port blinker
Let Pockethernet toggle the Link LED on switches and routers to easily find the cable you are looking for. Set the link speed to toggle a change of color for the port LED.
Link speed and duplex identification (10/100/1000)
Find out the Ethernet capabilities of that unused port you're wondering about and rule out duplex conflicts.
Link establishment test (10/100/1000)
Determine whether a link can be established at different speeds and make sure the wiring is up to date for gigabit.
DHCP, DNS, Ping, HTTP tests (10/100)
Test the network connection to see if you are able to get an IP address on a port, and connect to internal servers or the Internet.
Traffic detection (10/100)
View which other devices are reachable on a specific port, as well as the type and amount of traffic that is being directed there.
Generate PDF reports
Keep a detailed, up-to-date database and log of your work just by noting locations and port IDs.
Export your results
Email reports for your own records, or share them through a phone’s OS's native share menu with the press of a button. No more lost reports, tedious downloads from the device or manual editing.
Simple & Effective
No more need to carry around a notebook all day. No more crawling under tables or behind racks. No more expensive subscription plans. No more breaking the bank for a network tester. With Pockethernet you'll have all features for troubleshooting Ethernet networks in the palm of your hand.
