MultiMedia Cable Tester Kit

The IDEAL 33-856 VDV MultiMedia Cable Tester is a verification device built for voice, data, and video cabling in residential and commercial environments. It supports RJ11, RJ12, RJ45, and coax F-Connector interfaces for comprehensive wiring checks. An easy-to-read LCD display presents test results clearly for on-site troubleshooting.

Bundled Remotes And Patchcords

The kit includes a detachable remote that enables one-person end-to-end cable testing without walking back and forth. Satin RJ11 and RJ45 patchcords are supplied so connections can be made immediately to the single network port on the main unit. These accessories turn the tester into a complete, ready-to-use solution for installers.

Suits Voice Data Video Installers

This tester suits technicians who need to verify short circuits and split pairs across twisted-pair and coaxial runs in a single tool. Buyers who require fibre-optic certification or advanced network protocol analysis should look at something else. The unit is also not intended for users who only need a basic continuity beeper for simple patch cables.
