Product overview: Fluke Networks MicroScanner™ Cable Verifier

The MicroScanner2 Cable Verifier helps find common errors by displaying graphical wiremap, pair lengths, distance to fault, and far end device. It starts by taking results from what was four different test modes and displaying them all at once – graphical wiremap, pair lengths, distance to fault, cable ID, and far end device. What’s more, its integrated RJ11, RJ45, and coax test ports support virtually any type of low-voltage cable testing with no need for awkward adapters. The end result is reduced test time and technician error. That makes high-quality installations more efficient and troubleshooting easier.

Other compatible battery types: 2 AA photo lithium, NIMH, NICAD
Dimensions and weight (with batteries installed and wiremap adapter attached) 3 in x 6.4in x 1.4 in (7.6 cm x 16.3 cm x 3.6 cm)
MicroScanner2: 10.6 oz (300 g)
Display Monochrome LCD with backlight
Test modes
Cable test Measures length, verifies wiremap, identifies remote ID locators, and detects Ethernet ports. MicroScanner PoE also shows HIGH Ω when the resistance of the cable is more than 12.5 Ω. Displays results on one screen.
Tone Generates Intellitone™ and normal analog toning signals
PoE MicroScanner2: Solicits and detects the presence of 802.3af compatible PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices
Performance specifications
Cable types tested Twisted pair: UTP, FTP, SSTP
Coaxial (MicroScanner2): 75 Ω, 50 Ω, 93 Ω
Length test Range: 460 m (1500 ft)
Resolution: 0.3 m (1 ft)
Typical accuracy: ± 4% or 0.6 m (2 ft) whichever is greater. NVP uncertainty is an additional error.
Calibration: User-settable NVP for twisted pair and coax (MicroScanner2). Can determine actual NVP with known length of cable.
Wiremap test Detects single-wire faults, shorts, miswires, split pairs, and up to seven far-end adapter IDs. The wiremap is drawn with proportional length to visually indicate the approximate location of faults.
Ethernet port detection MicroScanner2: Detects the advertised speed of 802.3 Ethernet ports with speeds of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1 Gbps.
Tone generator Supports toning and cable mapping with a Fluke Networks digital IntelliTone™ probe. Generates four tones compatible with typical analog probes. SmartTone™ feature gives positive identification of cables in bundles when using an IntelliTone or an analog probe.
