Klein Tools VDV512-101 Explorer 2 Coax Tester Kit, Includes Cable Tester / Wire Tracer / Coax Mapper with Remotes to Test up to 4 Locations

Worked like a charm. After years of plugging in cables and checking there's a signal via powering up the device, this was a huge time saver. I finally labeled all of my connections (should have done that in the first place) and will share this with friends when they need it as well. Time is money and this saved me a lot of it. Easy to use and the only thing that would improve this is additional barrel connectors. If you tracing four "cables," you're going to need those to make these work. The other option is to add the connector at the wall plate, but most of those were behind the TV or stand. Way easier to test the cable where it enters the box or TV.

Works just as described. I was able to find the correct wire that went to each room in no time at all. The extra test caps helped a lot and we're worth paying a little bit more. The readout is easy to understand. The tester fits right inside my toolbox.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I'm glad I spent a few extra dollars on this Klein; it's well-made, and the clips for the testers are good. I'm also pleased that I got four conductors. It made a tedious job so simple. I installed the different color connectors to trace different rooms in a new house. Then, I went up into the attic, and in a few seconds, I had everything sorted out. Without this tool, it would have taken hours to move the modem and see if it would start. It took me a few brain moments to realize that I should put the colored test units in the rooms and then go to the splitter with the device. Even if I never used it again, it saved my sanity on this one job.

I used this to test several coaxial drops in a four bedroom house. It worked well. The only problem I had was that one of the remotes broke. They aren't very sturdy so you have to be careful when twisting them on to coaxial endpoint. Other than that I am very happy with the quality of this device.

This tool made it easy to find both ends of my camping trailer TV wires. It’s so easy to use!

This kit includes a cable tester, wire tracer, and coax mapper with remotes that allow you to test up to four locations at once. The cable tester is simple to use and provides accurate readings, making it easy to diagnose cable issues. The wire tracer helps you identify and locate individual wires within a cable, while the coax mapper quickly identifies and maps out coax cables in a building. One of the standout features of this kit is the ability to test up to four locations at once using the included remotes. This makes it ideal for larger buildings or projects where multiple cables need to be tested at once. Overall, the Klein Tools VDV512-101 Explorer 2 Coax Tester Kit is an excellent investment for anyone who works with coax cables regularly. It's reliable, easy to use, and provides accurate readings, making it an essential tool for anyone in the field.

DId the Job: if you have a network cabinet already in your home - full of coax and trying to figure out which wire is which - this did the trick. I had a several wires and the writing wasn't clear. I had my MoCA 2.5 adapter hooked up to the wrong line I found out. Place the testers on 4 cables and then you can quickly test and find out which one is which. The prop 65 California warning made me hesitate but the reviews for this brand are the best.

I recently purchased the Klein Coax Tools Tester Kit, and it has exceeded my expectations. The build quality is solid, just like you’d expect from Klein Tools. The tester is accurate and makes diagnosing coaxial cable issues quick and easy. The connectors and tools included are well-made and durable. Whether you’re a professional or just need a reliable tool for home use, this kit is a great investment. Highly recommend!

I knew I was going to put in a physical line to an AP/Router I was placing in our basement. Could run ethernet ... but wait there is coax in 2 different places in the converted apartment --- let's use MOCA. Was able to trace the three lines using thsi device, found 2 to be active and easily traceable to a central hub of coax and was easily able to trace from it to where I wanted it in the basement (also an existing line). Life was good - 2 existing lines connected together and I had a coax backbone. The device it self was easy to use and accurate, and I have it for when I need to trace where all the other lines go from the hub.

Works as designed so far for the uses I have tested with. Knocks out four rooms without having to go up and down multiple floors in the house.
