Figuring out why a cable isn’t working can take a long time. But it doesn’t have to if you have the right tools. See how you can use Fluke Networks’ Cable Testing tools to find problems instantly. - Věda a technologie
This guy is a legend. He's clearly a fantastic engineer and also created Garfield, the most iconic comic strip of all time. What an overachiever, lemme tell ya
Listening to this guys voice is like watching Bob Ross paint.
Would love to see more videos featuring Jim Davis
Jim, you did a phenomenal job with your explanation and narration in this video!
I liked the Vanna White hand sweep you did at the beginning. =D
Great video Jim, well spoken :-)
Great product, I'm using it a lot.
Thanks jim.
How can i find out which end of the cable is wired wrong?
Can cableIQ send light signal to switch so i can find port on the switch where cable is connected..?
thank you
Smooth Jim Davis
correct me if im wrong but he just used a systimax toolles jack with a punch tool?
What, no link to the product page for this tester?
I would like to see more videos explaining how t troubleshoot the Fiber optic cables and connectors to Switches, Cameras, and other devices...Thank you.
Fluke CIQ-100, MicroScanner VS Ideal LANXPLORER PRO which one you guy prefer use for troubleshooting ........
On the other end lol such a dry poker faced joke, love it
What I can find out and how to decrypt the data : software version
Factori test date ??
Hi, With the Cable Q team, can I certify the cable? or do i need the fluke DTX1800?
I laughed out loud when he said it's the other end.
there's nothing lovely about Everett, Wa.
I work with RG-58 coax cable with BNC connectors on each end. Would the microscanner2 be good for simple continuity testing and locating shorts on damaged cables?
Hi Tim - thanks for your question. It would work, but you’d need a BNC-to-F-Type adapter. Happy testing!
You can use a cheap cable tester with toner and use alligator clips to hook one line to the core of the coax and the other to the shell of the coax. Generate a tone and use your tone scanner on the other end. That's how I did mine. It works. Don't need to spend $2 grand Fluke scanner. It's useful but completely over priced.
what a nice man, you should be a professor
take your +1 good man
HELP!!. I know you’re reviewing the micro scanner and not the micromapper but....Is the fluke micromapper POE safe? In other words if I plug a ethernet cable with POV on it into the micromapper or it’s supplied remote will it damaged them.
Do not connect MICROMAPPER to a live circuit as it may damage the unit. It is designed for testing cables with no network signal present on the line.
What is the difference between the CIQ-100 and CIQ-KRQ? I see the prices are not the same, but on some pages the CIQ-KRQ is just cheaper.
Check out the full specs of both here: bit.ly/3choX5e
As per Boe’s comment, when do Fluke plan to upgrade the CableIQ tester to support 10G Ethernet?
they just released the LinkIQ with 10G support and PoE
@@hoefie1977 Yep, had one since August
Is it possible to test CAT 6E cables with this unit?
Yes
I recently bought a cableIQ, but I was a little disappointed that it lacks an intermittent test for testing cables with a bad connection that happens only very briefly when moving it.
you can put it on discovery mode, and play with the cable while the wiremap is shown live
@@hoefie1977 I did, but it doesn't notice short or open circuits that only last for a few ms. I purchased a Behringer CT200 cable tester with an intermittend test for all kind of audio connectors including RJ45.
"They're reversed on the other end and it's the other guy who's going to have to unscrew the face plate." You could have explained why you said that, but I love how you did it! Go fix it! It's your problem! Why should I explain why it doesn't really matter which side is wrong? :-)
Thanks, we’re glad you appreciated Jim’s little joke in there. Sometimes, the boss prefers you to fix the problem rather than argue who’s at fault! As you know, electrically it doesn’t matter which end gets swapped. If the partner at the far end isn’t experienced enough to realize that maybe it wasn’t their fault, then you’ll spend even more time explaining “A” versus “B” wiring to them.
didn't think A wiring was a standard anymore
@@finitevoid4520 If you believe (like many people do) that T568A was replaced by T568B, you're wrong. They're both accepted as standards. Always have been & probably always will be. I believe the two wiring schemes are the result of an unfortunate compromise, and the A scheme makes more sense to me. Even the nomenclature is unfortunate in my opinion as I have found many people confuse the T568A & T568B with TIA 568A and TIA 568 B specifications. Or are you just a troll?
Dewald Burger not all the problem is confusing between a To b ,
I’m working on a project of 3000 network points, and now I test everything and it make it very frustrating that I need to guess which side i need to open in case off a problem.
I hope the get a real answer from fluke
@@amihi19 But why would it matter which side you need to open to fix a problem that's basically an A wiring scheme one side and B wiring scheme on the other side? Unless the client is really finicky on a particular wiring scheme it really doesn't matter whether it's all A or all B. As long as it's consistent on both ends.. Or am I misunderstanding your problem
So you can’t know which side the cable the problem is?
the cableIQ, and the newer LinkIQ will provide you the info on which side there is a problem if you have open, split or shorts . When pairs are crossed, indeed you need to uncross them, but technically it doesn't matter on which side. However, if you want to be certain to have that both ends are A or B, then you need guess and you will have 50% to open the correct connector.
All of our Licensed Agents should have one. For the larger tester we rent one to the agent.

The #1 never mentioned Pro Tip for the microscanner....how much cable is left in the box!
CableIQ is ancient and outdated. Need something that doesn't cost 10 grand to test for 2.5/5/10
LinkIQ has been released with 10G support and PoE
@@hoefie1977 Yup, bought one a few months ago. Got a great deal on the full kit.
berapa..?
Still looking one ☝️
£15K Jim? for a cable tester!!! that even open end cables report as connected!?!
neither the cableIQ, and the newer LinkIQ (support for 10G and PoE) are 15K. LinkIQ is about 1700 eur
