Copper qualification tester troubleshoots and qualifies cabling speed (10/100/1000/VoIP).

The network tech's vision into cabling bandwidth
CableIQ is the first cabling bandwidth tester for network technicians. It gives even the most novice tech the vision to see what speeds existing cabling can support, quickly isolate cabling from network problems, and discover what is at the far end of any cable. That means network techs can close trouble tickets faster, reduce on-call time, and save money by better utilizing their existing infrastructure.

Reduce escalated problems by as much as 30%
CableIQ's powerful troubleshooting capability and intuitive interface enable your frontline technicians to identify and troubleshoot a wider range of problems within your infrastructure. Is the port active? Are the duplex settings matched? Is it a network problem or a cable problem? Can the cable support the required network bandwidth? CableIQ is the only tool that can answer all these questions before trouble tickets are escalated to the next level reducing problem escalation by up to 30%.

At a Glance

• Qualifies - Sees if your existing cabling has the bandwidth to support voice, 10/100, VoIP or Gigabit Ethernet
• Troubleshoots - shows why existing cabling cannot support the network's bandwidth requirement (e.g. crosstalk at 11 meters)
• Discovers - detects what's at the end of any cable and displays device configuration (speed/duplex/pairing)
• Identifies unused switch ports that can be reallocated
• Graphically maps wiring configuration and shows distance to faults with Intelligent Wiremap
• Tests all copper cabling media: twisted-pair, coax, and audio cabling

The essential link tester for today's Gigabit Ethernet, PoE, and 802.1X networks.

Empower frontline technicians with more problem solving capabilities
Following in the tradition of the original LinkRunner, LinkRunner Pro was designed to provide desktop support and network technicians with a simple, dedicated tool for resolving the most common PC user and device connectivity issues.

Because of rapid network evolution, today’s connectivity problems are much more complex than they used to be. Higher bandwidth requirements have expedited Gigabit proliferation. Greater security threats have necessitated tighter control measures like 802.1X. And technologies like VoIP and WLAN have given rise to a greater reliance on PoE for power. LinkRunner Pro recognizes these changes, and empowers technicians to address today’s new challenges.

Expedite trouble ticket resolution with professional link status reports
When no test documentation is available, closing trouble tickets can be a frustrating and time-consuming process. Finger pointing among different groups and redundant testing are just a couple of the wastes that occur. With today’s focus on operational efficiency, IT departments don’t have time for wastes like these. LinkRunner Pro can eliminate finger pointing and reduce redundant testing by generating objective, professional link status reports that can be printed or routed electronically.

At a Glance

• Link at 10/100/Gig - identify device capabilities and confirm actual connected speed/duplex status
• Ping key devices - measure response statistics of DHCP, default router, DNS server, and other key devices or URLs
• Verify 802.1X settings - authenticate on 802.1X secured networks; enter EAP type, user name, certificates, and password
• Detect PoE service - verify availability, voltage level, and pairs of Power over Ethernet per IEEE 802.3af specifications
• Identify port (C/E/LLDP) - identify nearest switch address, slot, and port with Cisco, Extreme, and IEEE Link Layer Discovery Protocols
• Test cable wiremap - test wiremap and length; detect miswires, shorts, split pairs or opens; measure distance to faults with TDR
• Locate and ID cable - use IntelliTone digital toning, hub blink feature, or optional cable IDs to locate cables at patch panels or wall jacks
• Document test results - save link, ping, PoE, security, and cable test results in unit and upload to PC with USB cable
