Fluke Networks MicroScanner Cable Verifier
The MicroScanner2 Cable Verifier helps find common errors quickly, displaying results from what were four different test modes all at once on its oversized, backlit LCD display: graphical wire map, pair lengths, distance to fault, cable ID, and far-end device. 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 Ñ which makes high-quality installations more efficient and troubleshooting easier.
Key features
- Wire map, length, cable ID, distance to fault on one screen
- Tests common media types, such as RJ11, RJ45, and coax, without adapters
- VDV Service Detection verifies 10/100/1000 Ethernet, POTS, and PoE

| General specifications | |
| Test connectors | Shielded 8-pin modular jack accepts 8-pin modular (RJ45) and 4-pin modular (RJ11) plugs. MicroScanner2: F-connector for coaxial cable. |
| Power | Battery type: 2 AA (NEDA 15A, IEC LR6) alkaline batteries Battery life: 20 hours of typical use 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 ½ when the resistance of the cable is more than 12.5 ½. 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 ½, 50 ½, 93 ½ |
| 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. |
