Fluke Networks LinkIQ LIQ-100 Cable Tester

Fits copper cable and network qualification from 10BASE-T to 10GBASE-T when you need frequency-based cable tests, nearest-switch diagnostics, and Ethernet Alliance–certified PoE class detection with load testing to Class 8 (90 W).

Key advantages

10 Mb/s–10 Gb/s qualification — Frequency-based cable tests from 10BASE-T to 10GBASE-T.
PoE Class 1–8 — Ethernet Alliance–certified detection with load test to Class 8 (90 W).
Switch diagnostics — Nearest switch name, IP, port, VLAN, advertised rate to 10G, duplex.
Wire map + length — Pair map with remote ID; length to 1000 ft (305 m) with distance to fault.

Typical applications

Copper plant qualification before handoff (10 Mb/s…10 Gb/s).
PoE class and 90 W load verification on powered devices.
Nearest-switch troubleshooting (VLAN, advertised rate, duplex) with LinkWare PC reports.

Selection guide

Cable performance — Qualifies 10BASE-T to 10GBASE-T (10 Mb/s to 10 Gb/s) via frequency-based tests.
Length — Up to 1000 ft (305 m) with distance to open/short/unterminated.
Wire map — Complete pair map with remote ID; identifies miswires and split pairs.
Switch diagnostics — Nearest switch name, IP, port, VLAN, advertised data rate up to 10G, duplex.
PoE testing — Ethernet Alliance-certified; detects PoE class 1–8 and load-tests to Class 8 (90 W).
Network tests — IPv4/IPv6 ping; port blink; analog/digital toning.
Display — Touch-sensitive color gesture display.
Battery — Rechargeable Li-Ion.
Reporting — LinkWare PC result management and reports.
Remote IDs — Remote ID #1 included; IDs 2–7 optional.

Common mistakes

Ordering for fiber-only plant — LIQ-100 is a copper cable+network tester (not a fiber-only tester).
Assuming remote IDs 2–7 ship in the base kit — #1 is included; 2–7 are optional.
Skipping PoE class/load need — Class 1–8 detect and Class 8 (90 W) load-test are listed; state required PoE class on the RFQ.
Expecting a full certifier workflow without LinkWare — reporting is via LinkWare PC.

When to RFQ / what to tell us

Max link speed to qualify (10 Mb/s…10 Gb/s), cable length class, and PoE class / 90 W load-test need.
Remote ID count (ID #1 vs optional 2–7) and LinkWare reporting yes/no.
Quantity, ship-to, and any switch-diagnostic fields you must capture (VLAN, advertised rate, duplex).
