LinkIQ-IE Datasheet LinkIQ™ Industrial Ethernet Cable+Network Tester Solves the #1 cause of Industrial Ethernet failures LinkIQ™ 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 • Document your work through LinkWare™ PC
LinkIQ-IE Datasheet 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.
LinkIQ-IE Datasheet How the LinkIQ™ identifies the wire map of M12X, M12D, M8D terminated cables. Operators may set performance requirements from 10 Mb/s to 10 Gb/s for a simple pass/fail indication.
LinkIQ-IE Datasheet Cable test with remote attached shows remote ID number 5, length and pairing of each wire and cable performance of up to 10 Gb/s. Cable test with remote attached shows remote ID number 1, length and pairing of each wire and cable performance of up to 2.5 Gb/s but failed the test due to a user-set limit of 10 Gb/s performance.
LinkIQ-IE Datasheet Network Testing You Need Along with the robust cable testing features, the LinkIQ also provides detailed information on the nearest connected switch. The LinkIQ negotiates with the switch to identify the advertised data rate (up to 10GBASE-T), half/full duplex identification, the switch name, port number, and VLAN info.
LinkIQ-IE Datasheet Switch port test shows port number, switch name and port VLAN along with advertised speed and duplex settings. Scrolling down shows Power over Ethernet results. Switch port Power over Ethernet settings shows pairs used, power and class available and results of the PoE test under load.
LinkIQ-IE Datasheet In-Depth PoE Testing While Power over Ethernet makes installation of devices such as security cameras and access points simpler, a survey by the Ethernet Alliance of over 800 installers, integrators and end users found that four of five respondents experienced difficulties in integrating PoE systems. Part of this can be traced to the fact that the IEEE offers three PoE standards, the term “PoE” is not registered and there are a variety of non-standards-compliant implementations as well.
LinkIQ-IE Datasheet LinkWare™ Documentation The LinkIQ provides complete documentation for the tests it performs. Up to 1,000 results can be stored in the tester with descriptive names and recalled. Test names and numbers automatically increment as each is saved (“Annex B-1”, “Annex B-2”, “Annex B-3”, etc.) saving lots of time when testing cables in sequence. Report data may be exported to a PC for documentation purposes.
LinkIQ-IE Datasheet Additional Features • Generates Analog or Digital tones compatible with the IntelliTone™ Probe or Pro3000™ to assist in locating cables in a wall or telecommunications room • Blink Port light on switch to help identify the connected switch port • Compatible with MicroScanner™ PoE Remote Identifiers for Ethernet outlet identification • Touch Sensitive gesture-based display • Rechargeable Li-Ion battery • Easy Feature and Network Testing Upgrades via USB-C via LinkWare™ PC •
