The Fluke LRPRO-1000 LinkRunner Pro is a handheld network multimeter that verifies Ethernet connectivity, troubleshoots cabling and network issues, and validates infrastructure readiness. It tests across 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T (Gigabit) networks, performs comprehensive cable diagnostics using Time Domain Reflectometry, confirms PoE availability and voltage compliance, and authenticates on 802.1X secured networks. The device discovers connected network infrastructure via CDP, EDP, and LLDP protocols, executes ping diagnostics to up to 10 key devices, and generates test reports exportable via USB for documentation and escalation.
Technical Specifications
