Fluke Networks MT8200 49A MicroMapper Wiremap Tester

The MicroMapper™ MT-8200-49A is a portable cable tester that easily verifies the integrity of twisted pair Ethernet cables. Test for opens, shorts, reverses, crossed, and split pairs, and look for existing faults in your cable. Trace hidden cables in ceilings, walls, floors, and bundles.

Fluke Networks MT-8200-49A Copper Tester

Whether you’re an electrical contractor, home networking professional, datacoms specialist, or a network/IT administrator, Fluke Networks’ family of powerful Voice/Data/Voice (VDV) verification and troubleshooting tools can help you verify your work while providing quality installation.

The MicroMapper is a small, handheld cable tester that allows network professionals to quickly and easily verify the integrity of twisted pair Ethernet cables. Test twisted pair cabling quickly and easily

The MicroMapper cable tester tests twisted pair cabling quickly and easily, giving you insight into open, shorted, crossed, swapped, and split pairs. Simply press the TEST button and MicroMapper will automatically scan each pair of wires for any faults present in your cable.

MicroMapper’s built-in tone generator works with the IntelliTone Pro probe or any other analog probe, allowing you to trace cables through walls, floors, and ceilings. Auto sleep mode reduces battery drain when not in use. LEDs on the cable tester detect faults in the existing cable and indicate a low battery.

The MicroMapper Cable Tester also includes a remote unit that allows one person to test installed cables or patch cords.

Features of the Fluke Networks MT-8200-49A
