Review: Best Kit for the Money! - I've tried quite a few other cable testers. For cat cable and a few other applications, this is the best tester I know of. Other guys use them and when my cheap testers broke down I borrowed a few of these and finally got one myself. It gets the job done and is accurate and easy to use. Will go with this brand from now on for cable testers. Review: Klein Mapping Makes Sense of Jumbled Mess of Cables - I purchased the Klein VDV501-823 to map RJ45 cables running throughout my home since I wasn't receiving ethernet in several rooms. The inside cable box was a jumble of messy, unlabeled cables. So, matching the cable to the wall plug was a challenge without the proper equipment. The Klein tool with mapping was the perfect solution. I simply installed a numbered cable remote on the nonworking wall plug (5 remotes are included), then I tested each unknown cable in the cable box with the Klein tool. The Klein tester would locate and display each terminator by number and verify the integrity of the cable. I could then verify that the proper cables were connected to a router. Without this tool, it would have been practically impossible. The tool operated flawlessly, readouts were instant and easy to read. Additional remotes are available. A 9v battery is included. UPDATE: I recently identified and mapped a jumble of coaxial cables and the tester located each cable connection with ease in a few minutes. ## Features - Kit includes: 1 Scout Pro 2 Tester, 1 self-storing remote, 5 LanMap RJ45 Location Remotes, 5 CoaxMap F-connector Location Remotes, 1 coax barrel F adapter, manual and 9V battery - Scout Pro 3 Tester Starter Kit now available, Klein Tools Cat.

Or just one single one wire run?** A: No. This tool is for testing continuity and locating cables from end to end. **Q: can you order more tester ends (the LANmap ends) so you can have more than 5?** A: Instead of the VDV501-823, I purchased the VDV501-816 because it includes cable length measurement and the 823 doesn't have that feature. The only additional Lanmap ends that I see listed on Amazon are the VDV526-055 Kit which are only compatible with the VDV501-053 or the VDV501-809 Testers. You will probably have to contact Klein Tools direct about this question. I see that the VDV501-809 tester is available for sale on Amazon so maybe that is the path you should take. **Q: Can you get the coax locater toners separately?** A: Yes **Q: Does this beep or tone for continuity testing?** A: No, mostly disappointing for testing. It does one job, and will fail if cable crimp sucks. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Kit for the Money! *by A***R on August 8, 2019* I've tried quite a few other cable testers.

It is not a TDR. For verifying connections and mapping out an unknown layout, works very well. I think they are a tad over priced but the convenience factor is what one is paying for. One could be made that offers similar or more advanced functionality but if you need something now, this does okay. Look elsewhere for TDR and cable signal quality testing, this is really just go/no-go and pinout confirmation. ## Frequently Bought Together - Klein Tools VDV501-823 Cable Tester, VDV Scout Pro 2 Traces and Tests Coax Cable, Network Data Cable, and Telephone Cable with Remotes - Klein Tools VDV427-300 Impact Punchdown Tool with 66/110 Blade, Reliable CAT Cable Connections, Adjustable Force, Includes Pick and Spudger - Cable Matters 10-Pack Low Profile 2-Port Keystone Jack Wall Plate, RJ45 Wall Plate for Keystone Jacks in White --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nl/products/15214727-](https://www.desertcart.nl/products/15214727-) --- *Product available on Desertcart Netherlands* *Store origin: NL* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
