The Klein Tools VDV501-851 Scout pro 3 tester starter kit is a comprehensive cable testing solution designed to help technicians quickly and accurately identify, trace, and troubleshoot voice, data, and video cable installations.

Designed for versatility, the kit features Hub Blink mode to pinpoint connections on network switches or hubs and includes five LanMap RJ45 and five CoaxMap F-connector remotes for simultaneously identifying multiple cable runs. Plus, the self-storing test remote ensures you're always ready to verify connections on the go. With support for up to 18 remotes, this tool easily scales for complex cable installations.
Other thoughtful features include voltage warning detection, shield detection, and a low battery indicator, with a 9V alkaline battery and auto power-off function for up to 50 hours of active battery life.
