Description
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.
Validates Cable Performance
LinkIQ ensures that tested links meet performance requirements. It can measure lengths up to 1,000 feet (305 m) and provide distance to faults such as opens, shorts, and unterminated cable. The included remote ID provides a complete wire map of the cable pairs to identify miswired and split pairs.
Detailed Ping Tests Speed Troubleshooting
LinkIQ performs IP ping tests that verify connectivity and provides nearest switch diagnostics, including advertised data rate (up to 10GBASE-T), half/full duplex identification, switch name and IP address, port number, VLAN information, and load test up to Class 8 (90 W). With LinkIQ, you can quickly identify key network issues and validate switch configuration without having to use another device.
In-Depth Testing for PoE
To simplify PoE installation and troubleshooting, LinkIQ displays the pairs where power is provided, showing the different power levels and pairs for dual-signature implementations. LinkIQ performs load testing up to Class 8 (90 W) by placing a load on the connection to ensure that the advertised power is actually being delivered across the cabling infrastructure.
Color Touchscreen
LinkIQ has a large, gesture-based touchscreen that displays a great deal of information and provides clear, easy-to-use controls such as sliders and a full keyboard. Its simplified TEST function displays results according to what’s plugged into the unit’s single RJ-45 connector. A single USB-C port provides connectivity to your PC for software updates, reporting, and charging.
Integrated with LinkWare PC
LinkIQ provides complete documentation via LinkWare PC. Up to 1,000 results with descriptive names can be stored in the tester and recalled. Test names and numbers automatically increment when saved (“Annex B-1,” “Annex B-2,” “Annex B-3,” etc.), saving valuable time when you test cables in sequence.
