Fluke LRPRO-1000 Link Runner Pro Network Multimeter

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

• Link Speed & Duplex: Supports IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T; confirms actual connected speed and duplex status


• Cable Testing: Wiremap detection of miswires, shorts, split pairs, and opens; TDR-based cable length measurement and distance-to-fault measurement; straight-through and crossed-over configuration identification; WireView Cable ID integration


• Network Discovery: Identifies nearest switch address, slot, and port using CDP, EDP, and IEEE LLDP; pings up to 10 configurable devices (DHCP, default router, DNS, custom URLs) with response statistics


• Power over Ethernet: Detects PoE service availability; verifies voltage level and pair configuration per IEEE 802.3af


• 802.1X Authentication: Supports EAP-type authentication with configurable username, certificates, and passwords; encryption key sizes of 512, 768, and 1024 bits; configurable via LinkRunner Connect PC application
