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 10 Gb/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.

Cable Testing You Trust

The LinkIQ™ is capable of measuring lengths up to 1000 feet (305 m) and provides distance to faults such as opens, 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 (10 Mb/s up to 10 Gb/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 10 Mb/s to 10 Gb/s for a simple pass/fail indication.
• Cable test with remote attached shows remote ID number 1, length and pairing of each wire and cable performance of up to 1 Gb/s but failed the test due to auser-set limit of 10 Gb/s performance.
• Cable test without remote attached shows length and pairing of each wire.
• Cable test with remote attached shows remote ID number 5, length and pairing of each wire and cable performance of up to 10 Gbps.

Network Testing You Need

Along with the robust cable testing features, the LinkIQ™ also provides detailed information on the nearest connected switch. The LinkIQ™ negotiates with the switch to identify the advertised data rate (up to 10GBASE-T), half/full duplex identification, the switch name, port number, and VLAN info.
