Paid for itself the first time it was used.

Used in a new house to test a contractor's subcontractor to install a 20 drop CAT6/5 coax network. The measuring device has more than paid for itself twice as a result of the errors documented in the Fluke round-robin test report. The most pleasant refund on closing from the developer. Then I was able to use the meter to diagnose and fix problems (missing wires, shorts, noise, etc.) in 4 hours.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I will write later

Fake marketing about POE detection

CableIQ doesn't have proper PoE detection (passive/802.3af/at) despite Fluke's marketing claim that the device supports it. According to Fluke's TAC, this device was designed and released when PoE technology was in its infancy. So if the tester is plugged into an Ethernet outlet with PoE enabled, CableIQ will beep with an on-screen message to immediately disconnect the cable, otherwise the device will be permanently damaged if plugged in within 2 hours. 5 minutes. Aside from the PoE fiasco…

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but something was

New but 4 years old?

Not loading just stuck. I contacted Fluke through Revain and they told me this was a 2016 unit, 4 years old and out of warranty. They had me send it to them to look at and luckily they sent it back to me for free saying it's new but I can say it's the same but refurbished. I don't know if I have a guarantee and I'm afraid if something happens to this device I can fix it. I had to go without him for months while everything fell apart. I had to pay $ to send it to Fluke for repair. I don't know…

Pros
  • Amazing
Cons
  • Some errors
