Fluke Networks LIQ-KIT Cable Network Test Kit

Solves the #1 cause of Industrial Ethernet failures

LIQ-100 enables you to:

• Find maximum cabling speed (Up to 10 Gb/s)
• Identifies miswired and split pairs on RJ45, M12X, M12D, and M8D terminated cables
• Identify connected switch information (Switch Name, Port Number, and VLAN)
• Install and troubleshoot PoE devices via Switch Negotiation and PoE Load test
• Document your work through LinkWare PC

Overview

Industrial network maintenance is no easy task, and Operational Technology professionals face constant pressure to keep systems running while planning upgrades for faster performance. They juggle real-time problem-solving with ongoing efforts to improve and streamline the existing infrastructure. Fluke Networks’ LinkIQ tester offers a powerful and efficient solution to support professionals to expertly manage and maintain smooth network operations. By diagnosing and verifying cabling, which is the leading source of Industrial Ethernet issues, LinkIQ helps avoid costly disruptions and reduces production downtime.

The LinkIQ is a comprehensive solution for verifying cable performance up to 10 Gb/s and diagnosing network connectivity issues. It performs frequency-based cable analysis and wire mapping, alongside ping tests and nearest switch diagnostics to uncover key problems and confirm switch configuration—all without the need for an extra device. Additional features include Analog and Digital Toning, Port Blink, 802.1x authentication, Remote Office Locators, and the ability to manage results via LinkWare PC.

Cable Testing You Trust

The LinkIQ tester is capable of measuring lengths up to 305 meters (1000 feet) 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 tester 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.
