FLUKE LinkIQ Cable Network Tester Tester

FLUKE NETWORKS LinkIQ Cable Network Tester

The LinkIQ™ Network+Cable Tester is the trusted cable and network testing solution for validating and troubleshooting cable performance from 10BASE-T to 10GBASE-T (10 Mb/s up to 10Gb/s).

LinkIQ supports Industrial Ethernet (EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT, and others) and is certified by the Ethernet Alliance to IEEE-802.3™ PoE standards. Additional convenient features include Analog and Digital Toning, Port Blink, Remote Office Locators, and integration with LinkWare™ PC software for managing and documenting results.

The Fluke Networks LIQ-100 LinkIQ™ Cable+Network Tester comes with remote ID 1, quick reference guide, USB-C to USB-A cable, charging cable, Cat6A patch cord, RJ45/11 modular adapter, hanging strap with remote ID holder, and carrying case.

The LinkIQ™ Cable+Network Tester is the testing solution to verify cable performance up to 10Gb/s and solve network connectivity problems. LinkIQ™validates cable performance using frequency-based measurements and provides distance to fault information along with a wire map of the cable under test. TheLinkIQ™ also performs nearest switch diagnostics to identify key network issues and validate switch configuration eliminating the need of using another device. Additional features include Analog and Digital Toning, Port Blink, 802.1x authentication, Remote Office Locators, and the ability to manage results viaLinkWare™ PC.

The LinkIQ™ is capable of measuring lengths up to 305m and provides distance to faults such as opened shorts, and unterminated cable. Using the remote ID allows for a complete wire map of the cable pairs which helps identify miswired and split pairs. The primary cable testing feature of LinkIQ™ is the cable performance test which qualifies the cabling bandwidth from 10BASE-T to 10GBASE-T (10Mb/s up to 10Gb/s). It performs these tests via frequency-based measurements. Using IEEE-standards-based measurements ensures that tested links meet performance requirements as opposed to transmission testers which only prove that the specific test devices can communicate over the link.

Operators may set performance requirements from 10Mb/s to 10Gb/s for a simple pass/fail indication.
