CHAPTER 2
PRODUCT FEATURES
2.1 Description
The Wire Mapper Pro is a hand-held structured cable tester and trouble-
shooterdesignedforuseonUTP,STP,FTP&SSTPcablingequippedwith
RJ45 connectors and wired to either TIA 568A/B (ISO11801 & EN50137),
USOCorISDNspecications.Itdetectsopencircuitpairs,shorts,crossed
wires, crossed pairs, reversed pairs, shield faults and split pairs.
In the event of opens and shorts, the Wire Mapper Pro uses TDR technology
to indicate if the fault is at the near end of the cable, the remote end, or if it is
somewhere in between. It will then indicate the distance to the fault.
The Wire Mapper Pro has the ability to measure and indicate the length of the
cable under test, using a Vp (Velocity of Propagation), set by the user. It will
measure and report the length of all 4 pairs of wires in the cable under test. It
also generates an audible tone that is transmitted into all 4 pairs on the cable
undertest.Thiscanbeusedforcabletracingandidentication.
This instrument also has the ability to identify telephone and data lines. If the
main unit is plugged into an operational RJ45 socket, it will give a continuous
warning tone and appropriate display if a telephone voltage is present on any
of the pins. If the Service Detect key is pressed, it will give a display distin-
guishing 10base-T, Token Ring and 100Mbit+ connections.
Features:
Hand-held cable and troubleshooting tester
DesignedforuseonUTP,STP,FTP&SSTPcablingequipped

Detects open circuit pair, shorts, crossed wires, crossed pairs,
reversed pairs, shield faults and split pairs.
Indicates location of the fault
