Copper media
Cable types Unshielded twisted pair LAN cables (100 and 120 Ohm UTP)
  Foil-screened twisted pair LAN cables (100 and 120 Ohm ScTP)
Cable length 1 to 305 m (3 to 1000 ft), accuracy dependent upon the cable type selected
Length resolution ± [5% of reading + 1 m (3 ft)], with open, shorted, with wire map adapter, or terminated with reflection = 20%
Receive level 100 to 5000 mVp-p
Datalink signal 500 to 4000 mVp-p
Measuring terminated cables The Cable Verification feature tests the individual twisted-pairs of a cable that are terminated into most equipment vendor's Ethernet ports such as on a hub, switch or NIC. All cable tests other than WireView wire map and office locator ID are operational in the presence of datalink signal.
Wiremapper/office locator compatibility Detects combinations of shorts, opens, and connector miswires. Compatible with Fluke Networks WireView wire map adapter/office locator.
Fault tolerance The RJ-45 Ethernet connection on the analyzer is designed to withstand a maximum of 100 volts.


Fiber optic power measurements
Receive Input Power, Transmit Output Power, Temperature, Voltage, TX Bias Current Real time access to digital diagnostic monitoring of SFP operating parameters in accordance with the SFP Multi Source Agreement (MSA) and SFF-8472.
