The new MicroScanner2 also recognizes and displays what types of services are available at the outlet being tested, such 10/100/1000 Ethernet, POTS telephone service, or Power over Ethernet (PoE). This allows cabling technicians to quickly differentiate between cabling and service problems during installation or troubleshooting.

"We're installing more and more wireless access points powered by PoE. MicroScanner2 will help us verify the both the cabling and the PoE service to the AP all at once," continued Kolinac.
