Fluke Networks LIQ-100-IE Cable Tester RJ45

This network cable tester is a handheld tool designed for commissioning and troubleshooting industrial Ethernet cabling and connected switches. It verifies cable bandwidth up to 10Gb/s, locates pair faults and distance-to-fault, and performs Active diagnostics with connected network equipment to support maintenance tasks in automation and industrial environments.

• Qualifies cabling bandwidth up to 10Gb/s for performance validation
• Measures length to faults up to 305m for Rapid fault location
• Identifies switch name, port number and VLAN for nearest-device diagnostics
• Performs PoE load test and reports loaded voltage and power for real-world verification
• Stores up to 1000 test results and exports via USB-C for documentation
• Generates analogue and digital tones compatible with IntelliTone for cable tracing

• Suitable for validating EtherNet/IP, PROFINET and EtherCAT infrastructures
• Ideal for on-site commissioning of PoE cameras and access points
• Used with M12 and M8 terminated cables for industrial connector testing
• Can be used by maintenance teams to diagnose switch port configuration issues

The tester accepts an industrial adaptor to map pairs on M12X, M12D and M8D terminations and provides a wire map showing pairing and fault types.

It uses LLDP and CDP along with link-layer diagnostics to read advertised data rate, duplex, switch identity and VLAN information.

The unit negotiates PoE via signature and LLDP/CDP, then applies a load to measure loaded voltage and loaded power, reporting powered pairs and available power class.

Test results are retained on-device for later export and can be processed with LinkWare PC to generate PDF reports and manage archives.

The instrument charges and exchanges data through a USB-C host Interface compatible with standard USB power sources.
