Overview
Overview
The Lineeye LE-8500X is a handheld LAN protocol analyser for 10/100/1000BASE-T. It can observe two Ethernet lines concurrently while measuring Power over Ethernet (PoE) on one line, capture traffic to internal storage or USB 3.0 media in PCAP-NG format, and review frames on its colour touchscreen or in Wireshark. Engineers can operate it standalone in the field or tether it to a PC to stream captures for deeper analysis.
Within the same family, the LE-8500XR adds Wi-Fi for PC connections, and the higher-throughput LE-8600X extends analysis to 10 GbE links. For serial-bus work, the LE-8500X-RT variant targets RS-232/422/485 and TTL/CMOS protocols. A replacement battery pack (P-26LW2) is available from Debug Store.
Why Consider the LE-8500X?
If you need portable, self-contained Ethernet and PoE verification without a laptop and TAP, the LE-8500X offers inline PoE measurement, dual-channel capture, packet generation and statistical analysis in one tool—reducing kit weight and setup time while preserving wire-rate visibility.

Questions and Answers
-
What If I Need Serial Protocol Analysis?
The LE-8500X-RT variant supports RS-232C, RS-530, RS-422/485 and TTL buses.
-
Does It Work Without a Laptop on Site?
Yes. The touchscreen allows stand-alone operation, and a PC link is optional. -
What’s the Storage Workflow for Long Captures?
Use the 1 GB internal capture memory, or plug in USB 3.0 media for automatic saving to extend trace depth.
-
Which Accessories Are Available From Debug Store?
We stock the P-26LW2 battery pack. See Protocol Analysers for more. -
How Does It Compare to More Expensive Enterprise Testers?
The LE-8500X focuses on cost-effective 1 GbE with PoE and PCAP-NG. Enterprise handhelds (for example NetAlly EtherScope nXG, VIAVI MTS-5800-100G) add advanced multi-Gig and fibre modules at higher prices. -
What Ethernet Speeds Does the LE-8500X Support?
10/100/1000BASE-T on copper. For 10 GbE, see the related LE-8600X. -
Can It Measure PoE While Capturing Traffic?
Yes. Inline PoE voltage, current and power are measured while frames are captured.
-
How Do I Analyse Captures on My PC?
Export as PCAP-NG and open the file in Wireshark for detailed protocol decoding. -
Is There a 10 GbE Model?
Yes, the LE-8600X adds 10 GbE monitoring, with packet output on its two SFP+ ports.
-
Can I Add Wi-Fi Connectivity?
Yes. Choose the LE-8500XR from the same series for Wi-Fi connection to a PC. Lineeye offers the Wi-Fi function only in Japan, the USA, Canada and the EU.
