Microtest TSB-67 - 568A Annex E - Manual (Page 2)

Chapter 1: Introduction
The Complete Category 5 Solution
The PentaScanner Product Family is the hand-held certification and diagnostic tool for
Category 5 and ISO Class C and D links. PentaScanner products also provide full software
compliance with TIA TSB-67 requirements for measurement reporting and analysis (including
TSB-67 NEXT sweep and swept Attenuation). These tools are designed to be the complete
solution for professional cable installers, service providers, and network administrators.
Scanners in the PentaScanner product family incorporate a graphical user interface, backlit display
menus, arrow keys, on-line help and descriptive menu options that guide you quickly and easily
through certifying or troubleshooting cabling systems.
Most of the information in this user guide applies to all PentaScanner products. Some
information applies only to PentaScanner + units — this information is noted as such.
PentaScanner + units (with 36-pin connectors) are differentiated from PentaScanner and
PentaScanner Cable Admin units (with Modular 8 connectors), where applicable.
2-Way Injector +/2-Way Injector
The 2-Way Injector+ and 2-Way Injector perform wire map, signal generation for Attenuation, and
end of link termination for other measurements. In addition, each measures NEXT at the Injector
end of the link and reports the results to the Scanner. As part of the Autotest, NEXT results are
stored for both ends of the link. Data from the Injector end of the link can be displayed in any of
the Autotest view modes and printed as part of Autotest reports.
Super Injector +/Super Injector
The Super Injector+ and the Super Injector are single direction active injectors and remote test
coordinators that work with Scanners to verify twisted-pair cable transmission quality. By using the
Injector, the Scanner can test Attenuation, NEXT, Loop Resistance, and provide a Wire Map for
any twisted-pair cable.
