Klein Tools VDV501-852 Cable Tester with Remote, VDV Scout Pro 3 Test Kit Locates and Tests Voice, Data and Video Cables

Worked as described, delivered on time.

With Self-Store Test+Map, cable would Pass; with Remote #2 through #6 cable test shows Split. I also re-terminated it and same result. After looking at the Manual closely, this isnt a fail. If Fail, the top line would shows Fail Split. I adjust the Tester so it would read cable length more correctly. That didnt change result. Took the cable with me to work and test with Flue Cable IQ and it pass and showed everything terminated correctly.

Wonderful tool

It is Klein! You can not go wrong. You pay for what you get, and I love the brand.

Ive work in the telecom field for years. It is a great tool to have when trouble shooting connection issues.

All my 4 rooms are connected through cat 6 cables. Usually when things dont work either I crimp RJ45s or change the cable. Just a while ago one of my rooms went dark (No Internet or Lan Connection). With the Klein Scout Pro 3 The test result stated that the pairs 1&2 were faulty. So instead of paying a lot of money to change the cable I just switched the pairs and the room is alive again.

Not what I was expecting, from 230.00 tester..

Have tried a million different network testers (pin-to-pin testers) and Klein is one of the best. Purchased this to replace an older Klein Scout tester- this one comes with 6 mappers that also fully test.

Worked every time.

I ran 10 cat6 cables throughout my house, and when I started terminating them, some worked, some didnt. Troubleshooting was confusing. So, I ordered this, and wow, it make it so easy to find the fault and fix it every time. It even identified one bad cable Id pulled (probably kinked it bad while pulling) with its distance fault detection. Id never run Cat6 cable in my house without this amazing testing tool to make sure the job is done right in the end.
