Qualification is a new category of cable testing designed to meet the emerging needs of residential installers who need to document that voice/data/video cabling systems are installed properly, and meet the residential TIA-570B standard for quality. Qualification testers, like Fluke Networks' new CableIQ Residential Qualifier, qualify cabling systems to support network speeds and applications desired by home owners.
CableIQ is the first qualification tester designed for residential installers who need to document that cabling systems are installed properly and will perform reliably. It quickly qualifies residential cabling systems to support voice, VoIP, 10/100/1000 Ethernet, and CATV, and presents results in the form of professional test reports. Designed especially with the residential installer in mind, CableIQ is versatile and intuitive enough to replace multiple tools for testing, ID-tagging, and troubleshooting all voice, data, video, audio, and security cabling.
As voice, data, and video technologies continue to converge onto one cabling infrastructure, residential builders and homeowners increasingly need assurance that structured wiring systems will support today's applications. CableIQ tests to confirm what speeds and technologies any residential cabling system will support. In just four seconds, you can see whether any existing or newly-installed cabling link will support voice, VoIP, 10/100/1000 Ethernet, or CATV.
Complete Residential Cable Testing and Documentation
Until now, residential installers had no economical way to document cabling installation integrity. No documentation means installers are unfairly burdened with the responsibility for all claims, whether cabling-related or otherwise, even when problems are caused by other subcontractors. CableIQ allows installers to easily prove the quality of cabling systems upon installation, virtually eliminating callbacks and workmanship disputes.
Intelligent Wiremap
CableIQ's "intelligent wiremap" feature tests for length, shorts, split pairs, or opens and displays with an intuitive graphical interface where a fault is located. Unlike other testers that just show a series of numbers for a wiremap, CableIQ displays an easy-to-read graph with distance to faults proportional to the cable length. It also identifies breaks and shorts by pin, rather than by pair. This dramatically reduces the time to locate and troubleshoot a poorly terminated jack, or a break in the middle of a cable.
Telephone Wire Test
CableIQ's "multi-map" is a breakthrough feature for residential cable testing. Smart cable identifiers give CableIQ the unique ability to wiremap star wiring configurations often found in residential voice systems. Wiremap faults and ID number (up to seven) of any jack can be seen from the main unit, all at once.
Coax Cable Testing
Now there's a multi-functional tester for all home cabling media. With the prominence of coax in the home, you need a tool that can quickly and easily test quality of coax cabling, and verify whether video outlets are live or not. CableIQ gives you several ways to test coax cabling.
Quickly qualify coax cabling for video/CATV applications with four-second autotest.
Measure length, verify continuity, and measure the distance to shorts and breaks.
Detect CATV video signal.
Run a coax TDR trace to see where large impedance changes are located.
Security Wire Testing
CableIQ's continuity toning feature cuts the guesswork out of installing and testing security wire. An intuitive graphical scale shows the resistance on any security wire segment. This is complimented by audible indication on the main unit, which can also be amplified by a tone probe when used at the far end.
Speaker Wire Testing
CableIQ's speaker test emits up to 14 different tones to test connected speakers. Easily verify that speakers have been connected correctly by toggling between right and left, and changing the phasing.
IntelliTone™ Technology
CableIQ's breakthrough IntelliTone digital signaling works with the IntelliTone Probe to locate voice, data, and coax video cabling through up to two feet of sheetrock. CableIQ supports IntelliTone digital toning by:Finding cables easier and tracing with better accuracy than any other tool on the market
Isolating all electromagnetic and radio frequency interference in digital mode.
