If you use a bnc to rg59 f-type connector and use the connectors with the kit that will give you the connectivity you need. **Q: Can you use hub blink on a poe switch?** A: Although the instructions say "NOTE: DO NOT attempt to use Hub Blink function when connected to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) active port", a switch will not apply PoE power unless it first detects a PoE compatible device. We tested the Klein Scout Pro 3 tester hub blink tool on our PoE switch and it worked fine. **Q: Can someone confirm if this will test cables with a bnc connector or sdi cables?** A: Unit ships with adapters to test Coax (RG5x/6x) and Ethernet. You would need to purchase an RG to BNC adapter (which cost about $1 US each). Klein may have a version that ships with BNC adapters. But I, personally did not choose that option nor do I remember the alternate options, offhand. **Q: What is supposed to go in the open slot in the case below the test unit? Have tone receiver that goes to the left, what goes in the rectangle cutout?** A: Not the premium tone generator (with clips) in the VDV500-820 probe kit. Only the toner wand fits in the left cutout. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Work as it described *by M***N on 8 July 2023* Great product ### ⭐ All readings not correct *by M***E on 4 September 2024* It worked for few days, after that always gives Failed POE hight voltage even if the the cable working fine and Fluke device showed the connection is Passed.
