Klein Tools VDV501-853 Coaxial Cable Tester, Scout Pro 3 with Test-n-Map Remo...

Works great. Takes a little bit to get used to it.

Excellent low cost cable tester. This unit, the VDV770-853, comes with POE testing which is essential. High quality case with rubber grips and highly visible back-lit display. This kit come with the Test + Map remotes, which is essential for the units advanced functionality. The equipment comes in an excellent padded case that holds the rTest + Map emotes, cables, unit, and has a space for the VDV500-123 Analog Probe (not included). Long story short, this is an excellent network cable tester!

Good for finding wires and testing ends. Thats pretty much all I use it for. I did run into some wires it didnt like. Or maybe I just had a container of defective ends but we just kept on replacing them until it was happy. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Sorta. Either way its good to know I guess instead of just standing around scratching ur head all "Hmm. Dis dont work. 🤔" It usually just agrees with me and I like that. All like see its good. So I dont need to do it again.

This set was a life saver on its first outing. We had to build several CAT6 cables for a project and the test capabilities of this device paid themselves immediately. First, we were able to determine with ease if the cables were built right, and also identify on which cable we were with the included remotes. Also, having the capability to audio tone them out gave this design a better working piece of equipment. The included case has a nicely built, durable design to hold all the equipment and test cabling. All in all a great buy.

I just received my Klein Scout Pro 3 tester just in time for the job I am on this week. However, when I opened up the case this is what I saw, 5 remotes, fantastic, the only problem is that instead of #2-#6 I have #2-#5 and an additional #5. So I contacted Amazon and since they are the clearing house for the manufacturers/companies they should be able to rectify this, right? Not so, Amazons representative said that I either keep it as is or return for refund, not really an option since I will be using it two days from now. As for Amazon, this is a simple thing, you should have helped me get a return for the extra #5 and sent me a #6, period! Klein, this could very well be a one in a million problem, I love your products and will continue to purchase them, however, in the past several years I have noticed that manufacturers/companies/service organizations are really falling short on their QC/Customer Support (Amazon) and really hope that this is not something that is happening more often than I hope it isn't. Thank you Klein for making such great products.

We greatly appreciated this tool when running CAT8 cable from our main house to a large detached RV garage. The older testing devices kept giving an error due to the length of the run. We were primarily using female CAT8 punch down terminals and felt reassured once we had confirmed our wiring before speed testing. The wire length feature was also very nice and accurate. We made over 20 connections for this run of wiring, as our use of technology continues to expand with time. Now our pool controls, lighting, A/C and heating, locks, and many more devices are now all connected and running over very fast backbone. The individual location beacons were also great when confirming multiple runs in an area. I would highly recommend for any IT professional or amateur/DIY computer enthusiast who is running new computer network cables. This is a great tool to have available to test circuits and even patch cables.

Arrived on time. Works as described.

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. The only network testers you will find better than this is the professional certifiers ($1,800 - $3,500). For the average electrician or network installer this is what you want. The menus can get weird if you get into cable length measurement, but most people will rarely use that feature. It does NOT include the tone probe for tracing. There is a slot in the foam and they sell it as an add option.

Needed a much better cable tester to provide POE testing without going into crazy money territory as in thousands, and this fit the bill, although did seem a big price difference between standard and poe versions. Has really helped resolve network backbone installation issues quickly and was great help in running multiple cabled networks.

Extremely high quality. It had all the functions I need. A bit expensive but you get what you pay for

Works as expected and components are good quality. The Klein case and foam cut-outs hold parts firmly. I purchased the Probe Pro Tracing tool separately to add to the case. Not a big user but expect this to be with me for many years.

Es un equipo que nos muestra gráficamente algun error sobre el cableado o siemplemente a identificar puertos y poder saber donde estan ubicados y asi poderlos etiquetar

great tool i love it
