## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it allow you to trace the distance of coax cable?**
A: Yes, as it comes with the built in TDR, so you can determine the distance.  You can trace or find cables, as it has tone generator.  All you need it the tone probe, or so called inductive probe

**Q: what is the difference between vdv 2 pro and vdv 2 plus**
A: VDV II Pro have All the features of the VDV II, VDV II Plus and...    Distance to Open / Short (TDR)    PoE Detection with Voltage Information    Media Service Detection    Ethernet Detection with Network Rate and Duplex Informationuseful functions, especially "distance to short" in fact "Plus" and "Pro" only differ in firmware

**Q: Does this tester get gateway and subnet information for the port?**
A: No it does not. As far as networking details it shows network speed and POE voltage level only. It will also make the connected port on a network switch flash. Of course it shows wiring opens/shorts /lengths/wiring mistakes/etc.

**Q: Is it possible to generate tests documentation to meet customers requirements?**
A: It does not generate any report data documentation that I am aware of. It does a good job of testing installed cabling for Ethernet and broadband.

    Awesome!

Been wanting this tool for a long time! Ideal was demoing all their "Cool Tools" at the ISC West Convention. A bit on the expensive side, but will be worth it for all the time & hassle it should save.  This tester does EVERYTHING except install the cable & put the connectors on for you! I have only had this for a short time, but I have already saved some time and aggravation. I bought it for the networking capabilities but it also works great for Coax & Phone systems. Plus the ring generator is LOADED with tone options. Plugged it in to a network & got the scoop on the LAN - Almost gives you more than you wanted to know.... Almost. Ha!I find myself feeling like a kid with a new toy every time I whip it out!  Makes testing cable more FUN (AND ACCURATE) than it used to be! "Just Way Cool Of A Tool"

    Wish I had bought mine years ago.

Great tester - does what it claims and does it very well for a reasonable price. Make sure you understand your needs and the features offered before you buy.This one tests cables real time with constant updates, no need to press a button (after you turn it on). This means you can wiggle a cable and see if it holds up. Also with the distance readings you can tell which end of the cable termination is likely bad (as far as open/shorts go) - this can be a huge time saver.Note that Ideal makes three different models (basic, plus and pro) with different abilities of the VDV II - this is the most advanced of the three. Look at Ideal's website for details as the descriptions by the vendors on this site can be confusing - some seem to mix up the features of the three models.

    Great for the price

I'm a cable technician and needed an upgrade from my cheap southwire tester.This kicks butt! The display is clean and easy to read. Tests fairly quickly.I was even surprised that it reads out the PoE voltage from a switch! Normally you just get a symbol saying there is PoE or connected to a device but not an actual multimeter readout.I will be keeping this puppy in my pouch for a long time.
