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

Better than its predecessor. The extra features in this model add to the value of this tool.

It’s quick and easy to use… and cuts down on labor

Unlike the scout 2 better for quick checks. This does get cumbersome and slow but does a good job

Nice tool for checking ethernet cables.

Read instructions carefully and its will work as intended.

Works great, got it to test out some cat 5 cables and test patch cords. Simple and easy to use. Very intuitive. Does the job. I have used many different brands from viavi/ jdsu to fluke etc. this device for the price is hands down the best.

Works as described, it has trouble with rj11 4 wire

Great tool! I love the detachable remote troubleshooting termination detector. Without this tool, I re-crimped far to many RJ45 terminations without much success. To see, on an LED screen, exactly (number for number) how a patch cord has been terminated from one end to the other, beautiful. One note, the smaller remote jack identification locators only give ID information back to the hand held unit, no other improper or properly wired details. However, if youve ever been in front of a home-run panel full of coax, cat5, and phone cable, this end of the deal is a hair saver. Says Klein on it and cost $90, did not know that was possible. Try that with Fluke. I own 4 different Fluke products, nearly bulletproof. Ive dropped them, think Ive fried them, left them on and put them back in my toolbox only to find the battery just fine after months. Honestly, Fluke is in a different league and Im not an IT person, so, for the money this little Klein is just fine.

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.
