Review on πŸ”Œ Fluke Networks CIQ KIT CableIQ Generator: Unleashing Optimal Cable Performance by Daniel Ogbebor

Revainrating 5 out of 5

professional tool for professionals who understand 3 levels of cable testing and measurement

Low voltage electrician with more than 22 years Experience in both tenancy and tenancy; This is by far one of the best investments and tools I've bought in my career. I bought Pockethernet for $300 over 2 years ago (great counter even on a budget), I held the first one and worked for about 18 months with no problems but shot the sheriff when I needed it most (replaced for free). My ideal and other 3rd party authentication gauges have done the same (there is no replacement option for any of them). while still using my replaced Pockethernet only to check ports, CDP/LLP/Link/Traffic. because this meter doesn't really have those functions; Everything I needed to measure copper I gave to Fluke. as it has a verified copper VERIFICATION test. The beast does its job quickly and easily, with a twist of the handle, so it's pretty hard to argue with. I've been using the Fluke generator and probe for years, but the Inteltone probe took my tone/detection game to the next level in messy MDF/IDF. Found 4 for 5min in a 32U rack with 6 48 patches full, seriously. But be sure to sign up and study the instructions, as there are many hidden features, you'll be happy. Turn those 2 hour tasks into 10 minute tasks for the same money.

Pros
  • Advanced troubleshooting features: length, distance to fault, graphical display of wires, opens, shorts, Power over Ethernet (POE) detection
Cons
  • unreliable
