Klein Tools VDV501-852 Pro 3 Ethernet Cable Test Kit is a professional cable testing solution developed for testing and verifying voice, data, and video cable installations. It helps detect wiring faults such as open circuits, short circuits, miswires, and split pairs on RJ11/RJ12 telephone cables, RJ45 Ethernet/data cables, and F-connector coaxial cables. Capable of measuring cable lengths up to 2000 ft / 610 m, the device clearly displays cable length, wiremap, cable ID information, and test results on its backlit LCD screen. With Power over Ethernet (PoE) testing, hub blink function, and tone generator support, it simplifies installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting in network, data, and communication infrastructures. The included multiple RJ45 data and F-coaxial location remotes allow several cable runs to be quickly and accurately identified. Compatible with common cable types such as CAT3, CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6A, CAT7, RG59, and RG6/6Q, the Klein Tools VDV501-852 is a reliable, practical, and comprehensive test kit for electricians, network technicians, low-voltage specialists, maintenance teams, and field installation personnel.
