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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a Question?
-
How does it compare to more expensive enterprise testers?
Enterprise handhelds (e.g., NetAlly EtherScope nXG, VIAVI MTS-5800-100G) add advanced multi-Gig and fibre modules at higher prices, while LE-8500X focuses on cost-effective 1 GbE with PoE and PCAP-NG.
-
Which accessories are available from Debug Store?
The P-26LW2 battery pack is stocked; see Protocol Analysers for more.
-
What’s the storage workflow for long captures?
Use internal storage or plug USB 3.0 media for automatic saving to extend trace depth.
-
Does it work without a laptop on site?
Yes, the touchscreen interface enables standalone operation; PC link is optional.
-
What if I need serial protocol analysis?
The LE-8500X-RT variant supports RS-232/422/485 and TTL/CMOS buses.
-
Can I add Wi-Fi connectivity?
Choose the LE-8500XR for Wi-Fi PC connection within the same series.
-
Is there a 10 GbE model?
Yes, the LE-8600X adds 10 GbE monitoring and two-channel packet output.
-
How do I analyse captures on my PC?
Export PCAP-NG and open in Wireshark; the file format is compatible for detailed protocol decoding.
-
Can it measure PoE while capturing traffic?
Inline PoE voltage/current and class are measured while frames are captured.
-
What Ethernet speeds does the LE-8500X support?
10/100/1000BASE-T on copper. For 10 GbE, see the related LE-8600X.
