LinkRunner AT 1500 tester, power supply with regional power plugs, WireView Cable ID #1, quick start guide, small soft case
Is it for you?
A rugged handheld copper-Ethernet link and cable tester with a 5-inch touchscreen that runs an 8-step AutoTest in about 7 seconds, verifying link speed up to 10G, PoE up to 90W, DHCP, DNS and the nearest switch port, and uploading results to the Link-Live platform.
Choose it if these matter
- The 8-step AutoTest validates link speed and duplex, PoE, DHCP, DNS, gateway and nearest switch port in about 7 seconds on paper per NetAlly's datasheet
- TruePower PoE testing loads the cable to verify up to 90W actually delivered, covering 802.3af/at/bt Class 0-8 and UPOE, rather than just detecting voltage
- Results upload automatically to the Link-Live cloud platform for reporting and documentation, with unlimited offline buffering on air-gapped networks
- Rugged MIL-PRF-28800F Class 3 construction with an 8-hour battery, sized for frontline troubleshooting
Skip it if these rule it out
- Copper only: no fiber optic support, SFP ports or Ping/TCP testing; those belong to the LinkRunner AT 3000 and higher models
- Remote control and over-the-air software updates require an active AllyCare Pro support contract, sold separately
- NetAlly links no per-model listing from its own pages: the Where To Buy page lists resellers and a general storefront, so the exact model has to be searched for
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity needs an optional USB adapter rather than being built in

Related models and generations
LinkRunner AT 3000 (LRAT-3000) Model: LRAT-3000
Adds fiber optic support with an SFP port, Ping/TCP testing, the LANBERT media qualification app and the packet reflector for performance testing.
Technicians who also need fiber testing and throughput qualification.
AllyCare Pro support (LRAT-1500-1YS / LRAT-1500-3YS)
One- or three-year support contracts that unlock remote control, over-the-air software updates, free repairs and priority support; not a different tester.
Teams that want cloud remote control and software updates.
Watch out
- LinkRunner AT 1500 is copper only: fiber support, Ping/TCP testing and LANBERT are LinkRunner AT 3000 and higher features.
- Remote control and software updates need an active AllyCare Pro contract, which is a separate purchase from the tester.
