Fluke Networks Announces Fibre Media Converter for LinkIQ Cable Testers

As businesses upgrade their networks to support higher speeds and more connected devices, the demand for Wi-Fi 6E is skyrocketing. In just two years, installations have surged from 1.5 million in 2022 to 5.2 million in 2024. With this expansion, network technicians face increasing complexity in setup, testing, and troubleshooting.

To solve this problem, Fluke Networks has developed the LinkIQ Duo—a cable, Wi-Fi, and network tester that eliminates the need for multiple tools and saves technicians considerable time.

The LinkIQ Duo has several applications, including:

Testing of cable connectivity between network and access point up to 10Gb/s
Verifying connectivity with the main devices
Conducting of IPv4 and IPv6 ping and PoE tests
Detecting common configuration errors
Calculating the maximum bandwidth with the help of frequency-based measurements

To complement the LinkIQ Duo, Fluke Networks has also released the Fibre Media Converter (FMC). When paired with the FMC Kit, any LinkIQ Duo can determine the switch name, application, port name, and VLAN, allowing technicians to connect, understand, and debug the fibre port.

Collaborating with Fluke Networks allows Keating Technologies to bring advanced tech such as LinkIQ to Canadians across the country. Blending our expertise in the Canadian market with Fluke Network’s highly recognized installation tools and innovative technology, we empower businesses with reliable network testing solutions, ensuring seamless connectivity and superior performance nationwide.

New Product from Fluke Networks: LinkIQ Duo

Fluke Networks has introduced the LinkIQ™ Duo Cable+WiFi+Network Tester, combining reliable cable qualification with Wi-Fi 6E network testing and analysis in a single, user-friendly device. This integration addresses the growing need for efficient tools as Wi-Fi 6E adoption accelerates, with an estimated 5.2 million access points expected to ship in 2024, up from 1.5 million in 2022.

The LinkIQ Duo enables technicians to validate each connection link between the Wi-Fi user and the network, ensuring optimal performance by:

– Qualifying cabling performance up to 10 Gb/s between the network and access points.
– Validating switch connectivity and maximum data rates.
– Assessing available Power over Ethernet (PoE) for device requirements.
– Verifying connectivity to essential assets like Wi-Fi controllers.
– Evaluating access point configurations and their operating environments.

Additionally, the tester identifies common configuration errors, such as illegal or non-recommended channel usage, overlapping access points, and weak security settings.

Mark Mullins, product marketing manager and founding member of Fluke Networks, stated, “LinkIQ combines the testing they need into one affordable package that is simple to use and understand, ensuring each link of the connection between the Wi-Fi user and the network works properly for maximum performance.”

Fluke Networks and Silver Fox Add Integration Between LinkWare Live and Labacus Innovator

LinkWare Live is a cloud-based certification project management service from Fluke Networks that lets users manage assets and test results, set up testers and labellers, securely share project details and results, and keep track of every test on every job, including those delegated to (sub)contractors.

With over 120 million uploads to date, LinkWare Live is streamlining the cabling certification process for more contractors than ever. To make the service even more useful for industry professionals, Fluke Networks has announced integration between LinkWare Live and Labacus Innovator software, developed by Silver Fox.

UK-based Silver Fox is the leading manufacturer of cable and equipment labels, and developers of the unique Fox-in-a-Box thermal printer and Labacus Innovator software which are trusted by telecoms and engineers the world over to solve their large-scale labelling challenges.

Key Features

Cloud-Based Data Sharing
Upload test results directly from Fluke Networks testers to the cloud, minimizing manual errors. Results are automatically uploaded to LinkWare Live, providing a cloud-based repository for all your project data.

Labacus Innovator downloads data from the Linkware Live cloud, ensuring that the test data directly informs the label creation process, eliminating manual entry and potential for error.

Label Creation and Printing
Within the Labacus Innovator software, select the cable IDs and equipment properties from LinkWare Live to generate labels. The software offers a range of templates and customization options to meet specific project requirements.

Once labels are designed, they can be printed directly from the Fox-in-a-Box or a standard laser printer onto high-quality, durable labels. These labels are then ready to be applied to the corresponding cables and components, ensuring that every element is clearly marked and traceable back to its test results.

Real-Time Project Management
Monitor projects on any device, gaining immediate insight into status and progress. Integration enables direct generation of labels from test results, streamlining workflows.

Share test data and reports effortlessly, improving team collaboration. The combination with Silver Fox’s labelling solutions means consistent and accurate labels are ready for printing and application, directly from the platform.

Asset Management
Track testing devices’ calibration status and location, ensuring readiness for every job. With Silver Fox labels, manage and identify assets efficiently, maintaining organization and compliance.
