MicroScanner Cable Verifier offers Streamlined Verification Testing

MicroScanner Fluke Networks 400

Apr 15, 2019

Next-generation MicroScanner verifies voice/data/video cable and services with a revolutionary user interface.

MicroScanner PoE Capabilities:

  • Quickly determine if a problem is caused by a bad or unconnected cable, insufficient power, or a Powered Device (PD).
  • Information for the Network Engineer to investigate potential switch configuration or malfunctions.
  • PoE  Switch Verification – Determine if a switch port can provide enough power by reporting PoE class (0-8).
  • Powered Pairs – Graphically identifies powered pairs. Including Dual Signature where the switch port delivers power on 2 or 4 pairs (802.3bt or PoE ++)
  • PoE Injector verification – Display injector voltage level
  • Active Switch Detection – Determine if a cable is connected to a switch port and port speed up to 10G
  • Cable Testing – Identify any shorted, open or crossed wires at both ends, length of each pair, and send tones to find cables.

MicroScanner Series Features:

  • Straightforward Interface – Graphical wiremap, length, cable ID, and distance to fault displayed on one screen
  • Multimedia Support – Tests all common media types including RJ11, RJ45, Coax(MS2 only), with no need for adapters
  • IntelliTone Toning – Trace virtually any cable or wire pair with IntelliTone digital and analog toning
  • VDV Service Detection – Verifies today’s media services, including 10/100/1000 Ethernet, POTS, and PoE
  • Oversized Display – Large, backlit LCD makes results crystal clear whether in bright sunshine or a dark closet
  • Magnetic Strap (included in MicroScanner kits) – Allows technicians to keep their hands free and their tester safe from potential drops and accidents with strong rare earth magnet
