Product Description

The Triplett Wiremaster Coax is an 8 way Cable Mapper, with built-in Continuity beeper, and 120VAC line cross protection. BNC connectors on the Main Unit and the Remotes allow the user to attach to BNC cables or outlets, and due to the variety of off-the-shelf BNC adapters, to numerous other connector families. Specifications: Identifies 8 individual remotes by measuring their precision resistance. AC and DC test detects voltages above 3 volts. Display: Bright Red and Green LEDs indicate the test results. Protected against damage up to 120 volts AC/DC (no fuse required). Minimum cable length: no minimum. Maximum cable length: any length whose total DC resistance is less than 200 Ohms. Cables / Wires Tested: Any pair whose total DC resistance is less than 200 Ohms, and is unconnected to other equipment or circuitry. Continuity: Continuity (SHORT) is indicated for resistances of 500 Ohms or less. OPEN Test: OPEN is indicated for resistances of 10,000 Ohms or more. Battery: 9 volt. Battery Life: approx 20 hours continuous use (alkaline battery). Size: Main Unit: 2.45" W x 4.5" H (to top of BNC) x 1.25" T (to top of switch). Remote: 0.5" W x 1.25" H. Weight: Main Unit (with battery): 4.6 oz. Complete Kit: 11.8 oz.

3.0 out of 5 stars Works, but needs additional accessories., October 3, 2007

It comes with eight resistors in different measurements, but does not come with enough adapters. All of the resistors are BNC Female, which means to be useful, they either need a BNC Male to F-type Male, or the BNC male to male converter - of which there is only one. Most BNC wall plates use BNC Female connectors. At a minimum, you would want to purchase at least one BNC male to male cable (for the transmitter), to compliment the one provided in the kit. However - that doesn't help with the F-type connectors typically found on Coaxial cabling in the home. Expect to pay at least an additional $20 for accessories (which are apparently not available currently from the manufacturer site) Other than that, the unit works just fine.

These worked perfect for mapping out several rooms at one time. The only downside was that I had to buy the adapters for RG6.

Thtis product is great... it saves time when you are going into a house with multiple cable openings that you need to map out. the only problem i have with this product is that the connectors arent the standard screw on connectors they are a twist lock (not sure of the official name) so i had to make whips (using special connectors) to be able to connect them to a screw on connector. Works great for the price.
