MicroScanner™ Series Cable Verifiers
Introduction
The MicroScanner2 and MicroScanner PoE Cable Verifiers
are hand-held test instrument that let you verify and
troubleshoot the wiring of twisted pair and coaxial cables
and detect network services.
The testers do the following:
•
Measure length u
•
Detects opens, shorts, and split pairs on twisted pair
cabling. The MicroScanner2 also detects faults on
coaxial cabling.
•
Displays wiremap, cable length, proportional
distance to opens, and the remote ID number all on
one screen.
p to 1000 ft (305 m).
•
Detects Ethernet ports on twisted pair cabling and
reports the port speed.
•
Detects PoE (Power over Ethernet) and telephone
voltages on twisted pair cabling.
•
IntelliTone™ function works with an optional Fluke
Networks IntelliTone probe to help you locate and
isolate cables behind walls, at patch panels, or in
bundles. The analog toner works with standard
analog probes and includes the SmartTone
for positive identification of cables in bundles.
