SCAN-LAN VI
2. Introduction
The SCAN-LAN VI is a testing system that troubleshoots and certifies LAN
cable installations. Along with 250 MHz Performance Modules (included
or ordered as part number TS691), the SCAN-LAN VI consists of two
handheld units, one functioning as a main unit, and the other as a remote
unit. It also features LinkTalk voice communications across twisted-pair test
links. Each unit has a built-in microphone and earphone jack.
The Performance Modules take Category 5 testing beyond current
Category 5 standards of 100 MHz, providing critical information for
enhanced CAT 5 and Gigabit cabling. The SCAN-LAN VI offers an
unequaled combination of power and measurement precision—and it’s
easy to use and inexpensive. The unique modular design makes SCAN-
LAN VI the most versatile tester on the market.
In addition to being fully compliant with TIA TSB 67 requirements for certifying
CAT 5/Class D links, the SCAN-LAN VI performs several important new measure-
ments including Power Sum Near End Crosstalk (PS-NEXT) and Power Sum
Attenuation-to-Crosstalk Ratio (PS-ACR) to 250 MHz.
Padded protective overcases supplied with the system enclose both the tester
and performance module, protecting them from damage in the field while
allowing full access to the display and all controls.
The Talk and Test Module for the SCAN-LAN IV certifies multimode fiber in
pairs by comparing bi-directional dual-wavelength 850/1300 nm loss, length, and
propagation delay measurement against several industry standards.
