Product overview: Fluke Networks LinkIQ™ Cable+Network Tester
The LinkIQ™ Cable+Network Tester is the trusted solution to verify cable performance up to 10G and solve network connectivity problems.
LinkIQ™ validates cable performance using frequency-based measurements to calculate maximum bandwidth (10BASE-T to 10GBASE-T), which ensure that tested links meet performance requirements.
LinkIQ™ also provides nearest switch diagnostics including advertised data rate, switch name and port number and VLAN information, plus PoE testing and load test up to Class 8 (90 W).
Additional features include: Cable Toning, Port Blink, Remote Office Locators, and the ability to manage results via LinkWare PC.
Includes LinkIQ™ Main Unit, Remote ID #1, RJ45-RJ45 patch cord, AC charger, RJ45/11 universal coupler, and carrying case.
