Featuring an intuitive LCD display, four-tone generator, and compatibility with CAT3 through CAT6a twisted pair and RG coax cables, it quickly identifies wiring faults such as shorts, opens, and miswires. The kit includes an amplifier probe and multiple coax adapters, all housed in a durable carrying case, making it the go-to tool for installers and technicians demanding accuracy and efficiency in cable verification. ## Description Product Description The 33-866 Test-Tone-Trace VDV kit combines two of our most popular testers - our 33-856 VDV Multimedia tester and the 62-164 Amplifier Probe plus several accessories in one kit designed to handle all of the basic testing and toning applications used by low voltage, video, and data communications installers. The VDV is an LCD based all-in-one basic Voice-Data-Video tester for verifying proper wiring of low-voltage and data communications cables. 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 RJ-45 (8P8C),Voice/Phone RJ-11/12 and Video/coax cables. In Data mode, the RJ-45 port tests RJ-45 connector cables terminated to CAT3/5/5e/6/6a twisted pair cables. When the test is activated, VDV checks each conductor of the cable for any opens, shorts, miswires, reversals, and split pairs. Test results and error types are displayed on the LCD in a pin-to-pin format. Shield continuity can also be tested on shielded RJ-45 connectors and cables. In Voice mode, the RJ-11/12 port is active. Testing is similar to the Data test, but tests up to 6 conductors instead of 8. In Video mode, the F port is active. Coax cables are tested for opens and shorts on the pin and shield. For all tests, the included main remote (Remote #1) is used to terminate the far end of the cable run. The main remote is stored in the base of the tester when not in use. 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. The tone generator has the ability to tone by pin, by pair, or all conductors at once. The probe has an adjustable volume control knob. The amplifier probe is used to pick up and amplify the analog tone sent by the VDV. This is used to identify a cable within a bunch, or trace the location of a specific cable under test.
