The novel simple-to-operate VDV multimedia cable tester offers comprehensive identification and verification of voice, data and video networks. The tester is the first to be equipped with RJ11/12, RJ45 and coax F-connector interfaces to enable in house IT technicians and cabling installers to move quickly through varied voice, data and video environments, testing all wiring types using the same tester for every connection. The ergonomic handheld VDV multimedia tester is the first cable tester with integrated RJ11/12 (voice), RJ45 (data) and coax F-connector (video) interfaces.
This enables users to attach quickly and test every mainstream wiring type found throughout residential and commercial buildings, including telephone wiring, data network cabling, and video/security alarm wiring.
The tool can also be used to verify wiring integrity and assure proper terminations.
Ideal's VDV tester is designed to test for wiremap, opens, shorts, miswire, reversals, and split pairs.
The integrated tone generator offers four unique tones making cable tracing and fault isolation easier.
"The VDV multimedia cable tester's versatility makes it ideal for datacomms installers, in-house IT staff, as well as for electrical contractors wanting to expand their businesses by becoming a single-source provider of both electrical power and VDV systems", explains Tony Kumeta, Business Manager, Ideal Industries.
"Ideal's VDV tester puts complete testing of voice, data and video cable networks into the palm of the user's hand".
"Because pushing a single button is all that's required to access any cable testing function, there is virtually no learning curve".
In addition to the built-in flexibility of the main handset, the VDV tester also has a smaller detachable remote unit with RJ11/12, RJ45 and coax F-connector interfaces that store securely in the main handset's base.
The main handset has the capacity to support up to eight remote units to serve larger installations.
The VDV multimedia cable tester is available for GBP 68 or Eur 99.
