Verify the Quality of Your Installation Verification is the minimum indicator of installation quality for many cabling types, and plays an important role in the success of any Voice, Datacom, or Video (VDV) cabling installation. Whether youre performing new cabling installations or working with existing cabling infrastructure for moves, additions, or configuration changes, you can quickly verify your work with an affordable test tool and have confidence in a quality installation. What is verification testing Verification testing confirms that a cable meets established national or MicroScanner Pro international standards of conductor configuration and passes basic The essential cable verification tester continuity testing.

MicroScanner Pro tests coaxial cable (RG6, Pro and MicroMapper to perform RG59, etc., for CATV/CCTV), twisted pair cable (UTP/STP/SSTP), and other wiring for audio, control, security or basic telephone service. The MicroScanner Pro speeds basic basic verification testing, as well as live network testing with powerful network tap service and speed identification. troubleshoot and solve wiring mistakes before they become real problems.
