The IDEAL VDV MultiMedia Wiremapper and Cable Tester is an LCD-based all in one basic Voice-Data-Video tester for verifying proper wiring of low-voltage and data communications cables. It is easy to use cable and can quickly test all wiring requirements found throughout today’s residential and commercial environments. The VDV MultiMedia Tester makes it a snap to quickly verify wiring integrity and assure proper terminations for diverse types of networks. The primary function of the VDV is the wiremap test. The wiremap test visually shows pin by pin whether a cable is terminated properly at both ends and if there is continuity from end to end. The VDV can test Data/Ethernet RJ45 (8P8C) Voice/Phone RJ11/12( 6P6C/6P4C) and video/coax cables. The LCD visually displays “PASS” or “ERROR” after each test to verify if the cable is terminated correctly. A built in analog tone generator is also included and can be used in all testing modes. The tone generator has 4 user selectable tones. Toning helps to locate and identify a single cable that is within a bundle of cables. The tone generator has the ability to tone by pin by pair or the all conductors at once. This allows you to more precisely locate errors within the cable such as finding opens.
