Fluke Networks LIQ-KIT LinkIQ Cable + Network Tester Kit

If you need to test through put on a cable, not just what a switch is advsrtising, this is the test set for you. Has all needed features, remotes work great and will save you a ton of effort. A note about TDR for those who don't understand it: TDR sends a voltage pulse down the wire, and waits for a reflection (rcalled 'ringing' in electronics). It then calculates time of flight, divides by 2, and provides a measurement. TDR works ONLY on disconnected cables (both ends free). You cannot reliably TDR into/through a switch port because you don't know what circuitry it has, of how it will handle it. This meter is a joy and worth every penny!

THIS 10 GIG TEST HAS ELIMINATED CABLE RELATED SERVICE CALLS. IT IS SPENDY BUT LOOK AT IT AS MINEY IN THE BANK AS YOU WILL HAVE IT FULLY PAID OFF IN NO TIME WITH THE TIME SAVINGS ON SITE. BEFORE WE GOT THIS WE COULD SPEND HOURS LOOKING FRO A CABLE - THIS DEVICE TELLS TOU THE EXACT PORT ON THE EXACT ROUTER OR SWITCH. ONCE YOU USE IT YOU WILL WISH YOU BOUGHT IT YEARS AGO. A 10/10 EXPERIENCE IN EVERY MEASURE. IT IS WORTH TWICE THE PRICE! ALL OF OUR LEADS NOW HAVE ONE. WE DID PUT AN APPLE AIR TAG IN IT TO TRACK IT LIKE A VAN.

This product is very expensive for someone who is not a professional networking person; which I am not. This device not only tells you the length of a cable, but IDs the cable if you use multiple cables. Perhaps the best reason for this is its ability to ID a switch, port number, VLAN, and POE rating. Working for a giant corporate company, wherein it's like pulling teeth to get information from another department: this device cuts through the red tape and tells me what I need to know. While I use this for work, I paid for it myself so at the end of the day: this is my tool. I'm satisfied with my purchase and I would buy it again. My only gripe is the cable speed test... I wish it had an analog speed rating for a cable rather than a quantified grouping.

The Tester does its job and does it well: very simple to use and accurate. Only issue I have with it is the unit I received was a refurbished device ... paid for a new one ... and for Fluke it is always a lot.

This device has a RJ45 with a Maximum speed of 1 Gig Nic inside it so it can only connect at speeds up to 1 Gig

Helped us on trying to identify over 300 run project. We were stuck on about 30 unidentified wires. I wish we purchased it sooner, 6 nights to find 270, and 3 hours to find the last 30 with this tool. The whole project probably could have taken 2 nights instead. Worth every penny.

Has been instrumental in troubleshooting wiring and equipment issues of all types.
