The network tech’s vision into cabling bandwidth.
The network tech’s vision into cabling bandwidth
CableIQ: See network
infrastructure problems quickly
• Isolate cabling problems from network
problems. Save time and money
by escalating fewer trouble tickets.
• See existing cabling bandwidth.
Four-second test quickly determines
if your existing cabling can support
voice/10/100, VoIP or Gigabit Ethernet.
• Troubleshoot cabling performance faults.
Determine why the existing cabling plant
cannot support the desired network speed
(e.g. connection fault at 7 feet).
• Free up 10% or more of your switch ports.
Discover what is at the far end of
any cable, whether it is an open cable,
a PC, an analog phone, or switch.
• Detect speed/duplex mismatches in a matter
of seconds. Determine a PC’s duplex settings
and compare settings to the connected switch –
all from one location.
• Isolate faults easier with intelligent
wiremap. Test for wiremap, length, shorts, split
pairs or opens, and graphically see the distance
to specific pin faults, such as “pin 1 break at
37 feet.”
• Locate cables and wires with superior
accuracy. Breakthrough IntelliTone™ digital
signaling technology precisely locates cables in
even the most chaotic wiring closet.
• Empower frontline techs with an easy-to-use
tool. Intuitive user interface and
graphical display guides users with little
or no training required.
• Avoid disputes over cause of network
problems. Save results or upload them
to a PC with Cable IQ Reporter Software
(included).
As an IT professional, you have
a tough balancing act. You’re an
on-the-spot problem solver. And
you’ve got your eye on future
enhancements, seamlessly
upgrading the network to higher
speeds, while optimizing the
current infrastructure. All this
without adding staff and while
working with smaller budgets.
That’s why Fluke Networks
designed CableIQ – an easy-to-use
cable troubleshooting and
bandwidth qualification tester
specifically for network techni-
cians. It has all the power you
need to see whether your cable is
qualified to support 10/100, VoIP
or Gigabit Ethernet and quickly
solve network connectivity
problems in one intuitive,
handheld tool.
CableIQ, the first
cabling bandwidth
tester for network
technicians.
CableIQ gives network techs
new vision into cabling band-
width
CableIQ is the first cabling tool designed
for network technicians who need to
troubleshoot and qualify cabling bandwidth.
It gives even the most novice tech 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
frontline technicians to identify and
troubleshoot a wider range of infrastructure
problems. 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.
Troubleshoot cabling faults
in half the time
CableIQ shows you whether your cabling is
qualified to support the network’s required
bandwidth, and provides detailed information
on the nature and location of cabling perfor-
mance faults. Intelligent wiremap graphically
displays the cable‘s wiring
configuration, and shows the distance to
opens and shorts. Advanced diagnostics
also identifies and locates non-wiremap
related connection faults, such as cross-
talk or large impedance changes. Built-in
IntelliTone digital technology allows you to
tone and trace without disconnecting from
the network. With CableIQ, your techs can
close trouble tickets faster by cutting cable
troubleshooting time in half.
Ensure a smooth transition
to VoIP or Gigabit Ethernet
When you deploy Voice over IP (VoIP)
or Gigabit Ethernet, you want to make sure
the existing cabling will support the band-
width requirements of your new equipment.
Your cabling was certified, but moves adds
and changes have rendered many links
incapable of running desired speeds.
CableIQ quickly reveals whether a link,
including patch cords, is qualified for voice,
10/100BASE-T, VoIP, or Gig. Knowing your
cabling‘s bandwidth capabilities before
upgrading can prevent countless hours of
future downtime and labor hours wasted
on unnecessary troubleshooting.
See what customers are saying
about CableIQ:
“CableIQ’s best feature is its ability to see
cabling bandwidth. I had a PC that was lock-
ing up intermittenly. I plugged CableIQ into
the link and found a Cat 3 patch cord. After
swapping out the cord, the problem went
away.” – Network Specialist
“The ability to troubleshoot an active port
is a timesaver – reducing the total time
needed for problem resolution.” – Electronic
Communications Staff Associate
“If we put one of these in the hands of
every frontline tech, we could save ourselves
30% in on-call time.” – Network
