I'm looking at the Fluke Micromapper and would like recommendations
for similar tools from other manufacturers. About the only feature
the Fluke doesn't have that I'd like is the ability to hook up to bare
wire and test cable and the punchdown at the far end.

I could make a bare-wire adapter with an RJ45 plug and some aligator
clips but it wouldn't be color coded and be a mess. I'd pay a couple
bucks for something factory made. It doesn't even have to be
from the company that makes the tester.

Any suggestions ?

Try www.test-um.com. They make testers too, but adapters like you
mention should work with any tester.

I have a Linkmaster Pro XL (in addition to my Microscanner Pro), and I
think it came with a bare wire adapter. I bought it for the 8
included remotes, in addition to its coax and voice testing
capabilities.
