Fluke Networks LIQ-100 LinkIQ Cable+Network Tester
LinkIQ™ Cable+Network is a LAN Tester for verifying cable performance up to 10Gbps and troubleshooting connectivity and Power over Ethernet (PoE) issues. LinkIQ validates cable performance using frequency-based measurements and provides distance-to-fault information along with a cable-under-test map. LinkIQ also performs diagnostics on the nearest switch to identify major network issues and validate switch configuration, eliminating the need for another device. Other features include analog and digital signaling, port blinking, 802.1x authentication, remote locators, and the ability to manage results via LinkWare™ PC.
The Cable Test You Can Trust
LinkIQ™ measures lengths up to 305 m and indicates the distance to faults such as opens, shorts and unterminated wires. Using Remote ID, you can get a complete pair map to identify miswired or mismatched pairs.
The primary feature of LinkIQ™ cable testing is to test cable performance and qualify cabling bandwidth, from 10BASE-T to 10GBASE-T (10 Mbps up to 10 Gbps). LinkIQ™ performs these tests using frequency-based measurements. Using IEEE standards-based measurements ensures that tested links meet performance requirements versus other testers that only demonstrate that devices are connected and able to communicate with each other. Operators can set performance requirements from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps for a simple “pass/fail” indication.
Automatic test detection
LinkIQ features an auto-detection feature that recognizes a connected device and automatically selects the compatible test type. Auto-detection of tests allows you to perform:- Cable Test. If LinkIQ detects a Remote ID attached to the end of the copper cable, it runs a series of radio frequency (RF) tests to determine the cable's transmission parameters. The parameters are compared to the test limits specified by the IEEE 802.3 standard for Ethernet.
- Switch Test. If LinkIQ detects a connected network device, it runs a series of queries to determine and report information about the switch or device. It also determines device information and reports known full-duplex or half-duplex data rates.
- Switch Test with Power over Ethernet (PoE). If the LinkIQ detects a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) device, it can perform a Power over Ethernet (PoE) test, reporting the power class that the device can establish if it complies with the IEEE 802.3 standard for PSE devices. The LinkIQ also places a load on the PSE to determine if it can support the established power level load on the Powered Device (PD). A PSE is a device, such as a switch, that can provide PoE power. A PD is a device that can receive PoE power from a PSE. With PoE testing enabled, the LinkIQ automatically performs a PoE test after it completes a test of a network switch.
In-depth PoE Test
While the PoE standard simplifies the installation of devices such as security cameras and access points, an Ethernet Alliance survey of more than 800 installers, integrators, and end users found that four out of five respondents reported difficulty integrating PoE systems. This is partly due to the fact that the IEEE offers three PoE standards, the term “PoE” is not trademarked, and there are a variety of non-standards-compliant implementations. To simplify PoE installation and troubleshooting, LinkIQ displays the pairs over which power is being supplied, including different power levels and pairs for dual-signature implementations. Additionally, LinkIQ will place a load on the connection to ensure that the theoretical power is actually being delivered from the switch into the cabling infrastructure.
LinkWare™ Documentation
LinkIQ provides comprehensive documentation capabilities for your tests. Up to 1,000 test results can be stored in the tester, recallable and with descriptive names. Test names and numbers automatically increment as they are saved (“Exhibit B-1,” “Exhibit B-2,” “Exhibit B-3,” etc.), saving you a lot of time when testing cables in sequence. Report data can be exported to a PC for documentation purposes. LinkIQ uses LinkWare™ PC, Fluke Networks’ reporting software, which has supported a variety of testers for 20 years and is the de facto reporting solution in the industry with tens of thousands of active users. LinkWare can be used to store results and generate reports in PDF format.
Some examples of tests
Cable test with remote connected shows remote ID number 5, length, pairing of each conductor and cable performance up to 10 Gb/s
Cable test done with remote connected shows remote ID #1, length and pairing of each conductor, cable performance up to 2.5Gb/s, but test fails due to user set 10Gb/s limit.
Cable test performed without remote connected shows length and pairing of each
conductor
The switch port Power over Ethernet settings show the twisted pairs used,
available power and class and PoE test results under load.
The switch port test shows the port number, switch name and VLAN
along with the theoretical speed and full or half duplex settings. Scrolling down
Power over Ethernet results are displayed.
