Complete set of best-in-class tools for network cable installers, TV cable technicians leads to faster, higher quality work with less risk of error

Fluke Networks, provider of innovative Network SuperVision Solutions™ for the testing, monitoring and analysis of enterprise and telecommunications networks, announced the new MicroScanner2 Termination Test Kit. This comprehensive new collection of installation and service tools includes everything a network cable installer or TV cable technician needs to locate, terminate and verify their copper cabling installations.

Central to this combination of best-in-class tools is the MicroScanner2 Cable Verifier, which works with all major cable types: coax, UTP and two-lead conductors. This cable tester shows installers the four most important test results — cable length, wire map, cable ID and distance to break or short — as visual representations on a single screen. This makes testing faster and reduces the chance of human error switching between tests.

“Seeing all test results at once saves time and improves technician accuracy. That allows us to deliver high quality installations at a lower cost to our clients, “ said Kevin Kolinac, owner of Communications Facilities & Design, Los Angeles, CA.

Cable ID simplified, faster with IntelliTone digital toning
Also part of the MicroScanner2 Termination Test Kit is Fluke Networks’ IntelliTone Pro Probe. The IntelliTone probe is immune to electrical interference, using digital signaling technology to separate trace signals from background noise. This permits quick, precise identification of specific wire pairs and cables on active networks. The IntelliTone probe responds to the built-in tone generator of the MicroScanner2, which produces both digital and analog tones.

All-in-one Voice/Data/Video test set
The MicroScanner2 Termination Test Kit provides the installer with all common adapters and patch cords needed on the job site. The essential hand tools include an impact tool which accepts all industry standard blades, electrician’s D-Snips™ with long-tailed handle for better cutting leverage, an adjustable wire cutter-stripper with depth gauge, flashlight and marker.

Of particular use to cable TV technicians is a push-on F-Coax patch cord. Also included are six remote cable identifiers, a shielded twisted-pair RJ45 patch cord, an RJ11 patch cord, and a clip-set that connects the MicroScanner2 RJ45 jack to 8 bare wires via alligator clips. This gives a new installer everything needed to be productive from day one.
