The LinkIQ Industrial Ethernet Cable+Network Tester measures lengths up to 1000 feet (305 m) and provides the distance to faults such as opens, shorts, and unterminated cable.
The included MS-IE Remote Adapter identifies miswires and split pairs on RJ45, M12X, M12D, and M8D terminated cables.
LinkIQ qualifies cabling performance from 10 Mb/s to 10 Gb/s for EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT, and other Industrial Ethernet protocols. It performs ping tests to verify connectivity, and also provides nearest switch diagnostics, including advertised data rate, switch name and port number, VLAN information, plus PoE and load testing up to Class 8 (90W). Ethernet Alliance PoE Certified for reliable multivendor interoperability.
LinkIQ supports multiple languages, and its keyboard includes extended alpha characters and symbols.
