work, simplifies your tasks and delivers
higher productivity to your bottom line.

Easy set-up

The vendor-specific cable libraries in
OMNIScanner2 make setting up and execut­ing your test operations easy. Regardless of
the type of cable you are certifying,
OMNIScanner2 speeds through the required
test with ease.

Easy on-site use

Simple, intuitive controls and commands
make training your technicians easy. They
will appreciate the clear display, the tough
protective casing and the new long-lasting
NiMH batteries. MultiMediaCard flash
storage, storing more than 10,000 tests,
will keep your team working without
interruptions.

Pinpoint accuracy

You, your customer and your cable manufac­turer will all be reassured by the laboratory­standard accuracy of the OMNIScanner2 –
five times more precise than the proposed
Level 3 standards. Fluke Networks’ patent­pending S-Bands™ diagnostics can save
hours of confusion about network problems
by instantly identifying (or eliminating) spe­cific connection failures.

Faster uploads

OMNIScanner2 is enabled for high-speed USB
connection to your computer. With our free
software, you will be able to transfer test
results at breakneck speed to your PC.

Color graphic reports

The PASS report is the end-product your cus­tomer or management is looking for. This
professional color graphic report that tells
the whole test story at a glance. You can

even insert your logo so that your good
workmanship carries your own name.

Fiber is a snap

The OMNIScanner2 is more than the indus­try’s leading copper cable tester – it’s the
premier fiber tester, too. Just snap on one
of the handy adapters (sold separately) and
you’re holding the powerful OMNIFiber. The
one-button Autotest for the OMNIFiber MM
and SM units measures length, loss and
propagation delay. They provide simultane­ous measurements on both transmit and
receive fibers. With the OMNIFiber, you can
conduct bi-directional measurement without
exchanging units, saving time out in the
field.

The OMNIScanner2’s ability to test fiber,
copper and coaxial networks means higher
productivity, lower cost and greater
profitability.
