Fluke Networks LinkIQ Advanced Industrial Ethernet Cable + Network Tester Kit

The Fluke Networks LinkIQ Advanced Industrial Ethernet Cable + Network Tester Kit is a comprehensive industrial network testing solution designed for Operational Technology (OT) professionals, industrial automation technicians, plant maintenance teams, and network installers who need to validate, troubleshoot, and document Industrial Ethernet infrastructure. Engineered for modern manufacturing and industrial control environments, the LinkIQ tester verifies cable performance up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet while diagnosing network connectivity, PoE performance, and switch configuration issues across EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT, and other Industrial Ethernet protocols.

The LinkIQ Advanced Industrial Ethernet Kit combines advanced cable qualification, network diagnostics, PoE testing, and industrial connector validation into one powerful handheld platform. Using frequency-based measurements, the tester qualifies cabling performance from 10BASE-T through 10GBASE-T while identifying distance-to-fault information including opens, shorts, split pairs, and unterminated cabling. The included Industrial Ethernet adapters support RJ45, M12X, M12D, and M8D terminated cables used throughout industrial automation and factory-floor networks.

In addition to cable testing, the LinkIQ performs active network diagnostics including ping testing, nearest switch identification, VLAN detection, switch port identification, and comprehensive PoE load testing up to IEEE 802.3bt Class 8 (90W). Integrated IntelliTone digital and analog toning simplifies cable tracing in crowded industrial cabinets and control panels, while LinkWare™ PC support enables professional reporting and documentation.
