The Fluke Networks LinkIQ Duo Cable+Wi-Fi+Network Tester combines cable, network, and Wi-Fi 6E analysis. It verifies cable performance up to 10 Gb/s, and it conducts cable tests, network diagnostics, and Wi-Fi analysis. The LinkIQ Duo measures cable length, detects faults such as opens and shorts, and generates a wire map to pinpoint miswires and split pairs. IEEE-compliant PoE verification ensures accurate power measurements by identifying the PoE class (1-8) and performing load tests.
The LinkIQ Duo utilises the built-in Wi-Fi 6E analysis to scan networks, channels, and access points, identifying configuration issues such as channel overlap, security weaknesses, and illegal channel use (where regulations apply). The nearest switch diagnostics feature provides the IP address, port/VLAN details, and advertised data rates. The LinkIQ Duo is USB-C rechargeable and compatible with LinkWare PC.
