Fluke Networks MicroScanner™ Cable Verifier Series
Sku: FNET-MS2-Series
The Fluke Networks MicroScanner™ Series is a professional network cable tester for fast verification and troubleshooting of copper cabling. Quickly identify wiremap faults, measure cable length, locate faults and verify Ethernet and PoE connectivity.
Product Information
Streamlined verification testing
The MicroScannerTM Cable Verifier series is a network cable tester that simplifies the testing of voice, data, and video cables. It starts by taking results from what were 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, it supports 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 than ever.
Rule out service problems fast
Today’s communications technicians have many more problems to deal with than just cabling. They have to rule out a whole host of potential cable and service issues before determining the cause of a connection problem. The MicroScanner Cable Verifier series is equipped to answer these questions and reduce troubleshooting time. Is there telephone voltage? What’s the polarity? Is there an Ethernet switch at the far end? Is PoE available? If PoE is available, is it enough to run my device? The MicroScanner Series acknowledges this, giving technicians the vision to verify today’s most common voice, data, and video services. That means faster, more comprehensive troubleshooting.”

MicroScanner PoE Capabilities:
- Quickly determine if a problem is caused by a bad or unconnected cable, insufficient power, or a Powered Device (PD).
- Ethernet Alliance Certified to IEEE-802.3™ PoE standards for reliable multivendor interoperability
- 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 ++) View More >
