>> What can MicroMapper help you do?

The Fluke MicroMapper is a portable cable tester that enables network professionals to quickly and easily verify the integrity of Ethernet twisted pair cables.

In a single step, the MicroMapper can test twisted pair cabling for open, short, reversed, crossed, and split pairs.

You need to slide the switch to the “Cable” position, press the “TEST” button and the MicroMapper will automatically search for any existing faults on your cable.

You can use the remote unit for a single person to test installed wiring. It also has a tone generator function that can be used with the MicroProbe cable tracer to trace cables and locate hidden cables in ceilings, walls, floors, and beams.

Here is the full list of what MicroMapper can help you do.

1. Tests for wiring faults and detects open, short, crossed, reversed, and split pairs. (Split-pair fault detection requires a minimum cable length of 15.75″ (40 cm))

2. Check the integrity of the shield

3. MicroMapper’s remote identifier allows one person to test installed cabling

4. Easy to read fault display and high speed test

5. Two-tone generation to trace wires and locate hidden wires

6. Debug mode for detailed fault identification results

7. Auto sleep mode to reduce power consumption

>> What’s in the MicroMapper unit?

The Fluke MicroMapper has a very well designed user interface for easy operation. You can use the series of LED lights to check your test result.

1. Pair and shield LED indicators

2. Toner LED

3. “TEST” button

4. REMOTE adapter with RJ45 connector

5. RJ45 socket for main unit

6. Power/Cable/Toner Switch

7. Fault LED

8. Low battery LED

>> How to use Fluke MicroMapper?

1. How to use the MicroMapper toner operation

a) Slide the switch on the right side of the MicroMapper to the “Toner” position

b) Connect the cable to the MicroMapper’s RJ45 connector. (To send a tone to a patch panel, connect one end of the included patch cable to the MicroMapper’s RJ45 jack and the other end to a jack on the panel.)

c) To generate Tone 1, press and quickly release the “TEST” button.

d) To generate Tone 2, press and hold the “TEST” button for two seconds.

e) Use the MicroProbe to trace the connected cable. Signal reception is strongest near the cable under test.

f) Slide the switch on the right side to the “OFF” position to stop the tone. (Always turn off the unit to avoid battery drain.)

2. How to use the MicroMapper test

a) Slide the switch on the right side to the “Cable” position to turn on MicroMapper.

b) Plug one end of the cable to be tested into the MicroMapper’s RJ45 connector.

c) Connect the other end of the cable to the MicroMapper Remote’s RJ45 connector.

d) Press the “TEST” button to see the results.

e) Horizontal LEDs indicate cable integrity status.

Green: Pair or Shield is good

Green blink: pair or shield is faulty

No light: the pair is open or the cable is not shielded

Vertical LEDs indicate wiring faults and low battery status. Wiring faults are: SHORT, REVERSED, MISWIRED, SPLIT PAIRS.

f) To find a fault on a specific pair, use MicroMapper’s diagnostic function

g) Press and hold the “TEST” button for more than 2 seconds.

MicroMapper will scan each pair and shield by pausing and flashing each green LED separately. If a faulty pair is detected, the corresponding error status will flash red.
