OMNISCANNER User Guide
Chapter 1 - Introduction
The Digital Solution for Fiber and Copper
OMNISCANNER is the most advanced hand-held certification and diagnos-
tic tool for the verification of copper links. The Category 7, 6, 5E
(Enhanced), 5 and ISO Class F, E, D, and C tester has an extended fre-
quency range of 300 MHz. OMNISCANNER provides full software compli-
ance with TIA and ISO/IEC requirements for measurement reporting
and analysis (including Length, Delay, ACR, NEXT, ELFEXT, Return Loss,
Resistance, PSNEXT, PSACR, PSELFEXT and Attenuation). In addition,
OMNISCANNER measures Length, Delay, Impedance, and Resistance on
coaxial cabling.
OMNIFIBER MM (multimode) and OMNIFIBER SM (single-mode) expand
the tester’s capabilities to certify installed fiber links against TIA and
ISO standards. Fiber cabling can be verified at 850, 1300, 1310, and
1550 nm wavelengths.
The Graphical User Interface
OMNISCANNER’s graphical user interface consists of a backlit LCD display,
quick access menus, arrow keys, and descriptive menu options that
guide you through certifying or troubleshooting cabling systems.
OMNIREMOTE
For test and certification of twisted pair cabling, the OMNISCANNER
requires the OMNIREMOTE unit at the opposite end of the cabling link
under test. OMNISCANNER communicates with OMNIREMOTE to obtain
status and perform measurements from both ends of the link.
OMNIREMOTE is equipped with a speaker to generate tones, and several
colored LEDs to indicate overall test results and status.
