    • Great and simple!
Style: Starter Kit Pattern Name: Cable Tester
This tool is great! Does the job it is intended to do and does it very simply. I haven't done cable work in over 10 years and thus haven't used a cable tester even longer. This tool is very simple and easy to use. You'll learn the button is less than 3minutes. The first cable I tested ended up being slightly faulty and it was a cable I was using so now I test everything in my homelab and datacenter. ... show more

    • Perfect fit for home and semi-pro use.
Style: Starter Kit Pattern Name: Cable Tester
Originally, I was thinking about buying the Klein VDV526-200, but after using the VDV501-851, I think I made the better choice. I have wanted to rerun several Cat5e cables in the house for some time. The original runs were sloppily done, nothing was labeled, and it always bothered me. Thanks to the VDV501-851, it was easy to identify which run was which using the remote plugs that come with the kit. In the process of redoing everything, I found several issues with with patch cables I had done myself and found at least 1 pre-fabricated patch cable was also bad. None of that would have been possible without a proper cable tester. The only thing that bothers me about this tester is that there doesn't seem to be a way to put it into loop mode by default. When you use network mode, you have to manually hold down the network button for a couple of seconds to make the unit continuously poll the cable. While I haven't tried the coax or phone modes, I suspect it's the same. I'm now contemplating reworking several phone and coax runs in the house. I have no doubt the VDV501-851 will make those jobs so much easier. ... show more

    • Good, flexible cable tester
Style: Starter Kit Pattern Name: Cable Tester
This Klein is so much better than the cheapo "sequenced LEDs" tester I was using before. I like that it can do coax as well as voice & data. I added some coax adapters to let me test and ring out BNC cables. The Ethernet identifiers are male RJ-45 plugs, so I also picked up some F-F RJ-45 couplers so I can ring out cable runs that terminate to male connectors vs. a patch bay. The cable length estimation is a nice bonus feature. Note that the identifier plugs do not test cables; they just show the ID on the meter display. ... show more
