Fluke Networks LinkIQ™ Duo Cable+Network+Wi-Fi Tester Kit
Overview
The Fluke Networks LinkIQ™ Duo Cable+Network+Wi-Fi Tester Kit is a comprehensive diagnostic solution engineered to verify cable performance up to 10 Gb/s and resolve complex network connectivity issues. By combining advanced frequency-based measurements with robust network testing, this unit validates cabling integrity, performs wire map analysis, and verifies switch configurations in a single, portable device.
Designed for data center operators and network technicians, the Duo model includes advanced Wi-Fi analysis capabilities supporting up to Wi-Fi 6E. It provides visibility into networks, channels, and access points, while automatically flagging common configuration errors such as illegal channels, weak security settings, or overlapping access points.
This kit excels in high-stakes environments, offering Ethernet Alliance-certified PoE verification that tests for load under actual power conditions (up to Class 8). Built for field use, the tester features a touch-sensitive color display, a rugged design capable of surviving 1-meter drops, and integration with LinkWare™ PC software for efficient reporting and results management.
