1. LES-5160 Overview
1.1. General Descriptions of LES-5160
LES-5160 is a 16-slot Ethernet cable Cat-5e
simulator. Upon different commands, it can
simulate different network cable lengths,
including 3 modes: Bypass, Short and100m. It
can be used independently or jointly with other
devices.
Combined with XLE series modules, LES-5160 cable length simulator provides RJ45 interfaces, which can
support the protocols such as 10Base-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T, thus making your network
verification system more complete.
All XLE series modules are equipped with real-time LEDs which display the status of the system and the
simulating cable length, thus allowing users to view network status easily.
LES-5160 cable length simulator provides an easy-to-access Management Webpage, allowing users to
view system status, set the simulating length for the XLE series modules and upgrade firmware.
Moreover, XLE-CASC modules allow you to cascade multiple LES-5160 chassis for managing these
chassis simultaneously.
