Introduction

The Fluke 620 LAN CableMeter
is a battery operated, handheld instrument that identifies
cable failures, measures length, and checks the wiring of
cables used for DeviceNet , ControlNet , and Ethernet
Local Area Network (LAN) systems.
The test tool is designed around a "Test as You Go"
philosophy. This reduces the time necessary to install and
service LAN cables by allowing ONE PERSON to detect
most cable failures from only one end of the cable.
The test tool tests for incorrect pairing (split pairs),
miswires, shorted and open wires on all twisted pair
cables, as well as shorts on coaxial cables.
(hereafter the test tool)
The test tool comes with the following:
1 620 Softcase
1 RJ45-RJ45 Straight-Through Patch Cable (EIA/TIA
4 Pair Cat5)
1 RJ45-RJ45 Female Coupler
1 User Manual
1 Cable Identifier #1
1 Quick Reference Card
1 Warranty Registration Card
Caution
To reduce wear on the test tool connector,
leave the patch cable connected to the test
tool and use the patch cable to connect to the
cable under test.
Plugging a 4 or 6 position plug into the test
tool's UTP/FTP jack can cause permanent
damage to the jack pins.
