Black Box TS6000A, TS6000AE, TS6001A Specifications

1

Supports a variety of
cable standards to
100 MHz, including
CAT5e.

Optional performance
modules plug into the
tester so you can tailor
the SCAN-LAN to your
testing needs.

Tamper-proof Report
Manager format.

Tests and certifies
cable.

Stores up to 450 test
reports per scanner.

S

CAN-LAN VI is the network

cable-testing tool that meets
your testing needs now and will
evolve to meet your future needs.
The SCAN-LAN system consists
of two handheld units (one
functions as a main unit, the other
as a remote unit) and your choice
of optional plug-in modules.

SCAN-LAN tests a variety of
cable types, including Category
5e. It supports these cable
standards to 100 MHz: TSB-67
CAT 3, 4, and 5, TSB-95 CAT5, TIA
CAT5e—and more! See the
Specifications section on the
next page for details.

Key Features

SCANLANVI

Network standards supported
at 100 MHz include IEEE 802.3,
IEEE 802.5, IEEE 802.12, ANSI
X3T9.5, and ATM 155 Mbps.

And in addition to complying
fully with TIA TSB-67
requirements for certifying
CAT5/Class D links, the SCAN­LAN performs several important
new measurements to 100 MHz,
including Power Sum Near-End
Crosstalk (PS-NEXT) and Power
Sum Attenuation-to-Crosstalk
Ratio (PS-ACR).

To test multimode fiber in
pairs, the Talk and Test Module
compares bidirectional dual­wavelength 850/1300-nm loss,
length, and propagation-delay
measurements against several
industry standards.

With SCAN-LAN’s included
microphones, you can talk to your
testing partner over the same
cable that you’re testing.

Plus, the SCAN-LAN can store
up to 450 test reports (900 total per
pair of scanners).
