Southwire M500CX4 Coax Continuity Tester/Mapper, Durable Design, Auto Power-Off, Double-Molded Housing, Easy-to-Understand LED Display, Includes 4 Color-Coded ID Remotes

The item is good but dont get it wet. It will not work temporarily. All its color readings are accurate all the time. I wish it would bypass splitters.

Saved me some time trying to figure out what the dish people did outside

purchased to test RG6 coax cables I made after attaching ends to them, I never figured it out, called company and said its not made to do what I wanted to do?.....

I like this product I am a cable technician I use it all the time I love that you could change the batteries

Its a handy tool if you routinely troubleshoot coax systems. This is about as bottom of the line as you can go, but it is simple so gets the job done. Probably the most lacking feature is the receiver caps dont store on the tester body, the store in a separate piece of foam. Mine showed up with dead batteries, as others have indicated. Amazon provided no product support other than a full return, and Southwire did not respond to my support request. I recommend buying from a company that can reliably supply batteries and/or customer service (pick at least ONE please, Southwire). In summary: Cheap product that will do the job , but expect to have to buy batteries on day one and not get any post-sale support. 2/5

You see a wad of cables in a media panel. They are not labeled or not accurately labeled. Which one goes to which room? You will find out with this tool fairly fast. I do satellite installs and use it daily.

Moved in to a house with a closet full of coax, multiple antennas, and lots of wall ports, and NO guide! This really helped me to sort out and label the endpoints.

If you have a pre-wired for coax home, and the cables aren’t marked, this tool will find which ends terminate in each room. It also will test a cable in a loop, for continuity.

Worked as advertised. Simple and easy to use

It would be helpful if you offered the Red,yellow,blue and green id remotes by itself. 2 of my I’d remotes aren’t working so I have to buy a whole new tester just to get 4 new ID remotes.
