LinkIQ Industrial Ethernet Kit

LinkIQ™ Industrial Ethernet Cable+Network Tester

Solves the #1 cause of Industrial Ethernet failures

LIQ-KIT-IE enables you to:

• Validate cable performance to support Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT
• 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
• Includes IntelliTone™ Probe to assist in locating cables
• Document your work through LinkWare™ PC

Overview

Operational Technology professionals responsible for maintaining and/or managing an industrial network have a challenging job. They are on-the-spot problem-solvers and are always planning for future enhancements to seamlessly upgrade the network to higher speeds. All while continuously troubleshooting and optimizing the current infrastructure. Fluke Networks’ LinkIQ™ provides a fast and robust tool to help expertly manage the network to keep it running smoothly and efficiently. By qualifying and troubleshooting cabling - the #1 cause of Industrial Ethernet problems – LinkIQ can prevent and save hours of production downtime.

The LinkIQ™ Industrial Ethernet Cable + Network Tester verifies cable performance up to 10 G /s and solves network connectivity problems. Using frequency-based measurements, LinkIQ™ provides distance to fault information along with a wire map of the cable under test. The LinkIQ™ also performs nearest switch diagnostics to identify key network issues and validate switch configuration, eliminating the need of using another 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™ is capable of measuring lengths up to 1000 feet (305 m) and provides distance to faults such as opens, shorts, and unterminated cable. Using the Industrial Ethernet Remote Adapter allows for a complete wire map of the cable pairs which helps identify miswired and split pairs on RJ45, M12X, M12D, and M8D terminated cables. The LinkIQ™ supports EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT and other Industrial Ethernet protocols and qualifies the cabling bandwidth from 10BASE-T to 10GBASE-T (10 Mb/s up to 10 Gb/s). It qualifies the cabling bandwidth by taking multiple 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.
