This VDV MultiMedia Tester has been a blessing. My particular use of this device was to test six conductor DATA connections. Before getting this product I had a failure rate of 1 out of every 5 cables where crimping failed to make a full connection. Since receiving this tester, I can check my work as I go and failures went to zero. Since data-cables are flat, it's impossible to get a wire out of place but if you were to have such luck, this tester will tell you immediately. No more bad connections. Whether a professional technician or a hobbyist you will get professional results every time whether you are working with TV-Coax, Telephone line, or Data line cables. It's small size is a plus too as it will fit most tool belt holders, or in a shirt or pant pocket. You can't go wrong with the VDV MultiMedia Tester.

This product functions as indicated. Could be a small be better by have a more thorough cable testing feature. As a tone generator is is really helpful when tracing coax as it can pass the tone on the shield and not the center conductor.

"Legal Disclaimer
Warranty does not cover misuse of product..." says on the page, I would add, if even you use the product properly it is COVERED JUST FOR 90 DAYS! I've been using it for a little more than 3 months, I loved it (very convenient by the way) but pins 1,2 got loose and you gotta figure out what is wrong - your tester or the cable you are testing. I said, well... everything may fail -no question -and tried replace it, calling the customer service (800-304-3578 x1). They politely explained me I got no luck today - Manufacturer's warranty 90 DAYS.
