I just bought the pro 3, should arrive in 2 days.Thank you for the video

@UltimateTechHub 2 года назад

Awesome, enjoy the new tool! Thanks for watching!

@orestesdd 2 месяца назад

Thank you very much for this particular video. I'm about to move to a new construction house where the builder or construction company has wired the home with CAT5e, and this device will tell me if the connections are working when I do my first walkthrough of the home which will be some time in early August. By the way, Klein Tools VDV501-851 Cable Tester Kit with Scout Pro 3 link shows an amazon "starter kit" for about $78 USD right now, but the Klein Tools VDV501-852 with locator remotes, PoE cost $185 USD, which is more than what I'm willing to pay for such a tester.

@UltimateTechHub 2 месяца назад

The starter kit is really good. You don't need the PoE tester that's kind of overkill and too pricey. Thanks for watching and keep me posted if you have any issues.

@@UltimateTechHub I finally bought the VDV501-851 for $72 USD + tax, and it should arrive today from Amazon via UPS. Again thank you for your video.

going for a partial rewire here at mub hq so might invest in one of these, my old tester is about 20 years old now

Have fun with the rewire and send me a message if you run into any issues. Thank you for watching Mike! Great build today and enjoyed your cat supervising your work!!! Lol Cheers!

@jerryx2000 Год назад

What is the point of Bandwidth MHz? Is the Speed or Bandwidth more important?

@UltimateTechHub Год назад

Bandwidth is how much data can be downloaded or uploaded at one time. It's like a highway. The larger the highway the more cars can travel at the same time. The larger the Bandwidth the more data can travel on the cable at the same time. Your speed is the max speed that data can travel. Hope this helps and thank you for watching.

@GETBENT1331 2 года назад

you are awesome too. in my opinion my 10 dollar tester works great but yes, a tester of some sorts is a huge necessity for networking. when i first started running my network i screwed up in crimping. i only got frustrated wondering why it was not working until i got my tester. then i knew what i was doing wrong and fixed myself. now i have a great network. a 10 dollar tester is really all you need to make a good network. yours is nice but overkill for a tiny home network.

@UltimateTechHub 2 года назад

I agree but I got mine when I was in college doing physical networking and testing. I love my tester and it's helped when I screwed up some rj45 terminations. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it!

I purchased it at Home Depo and returned that junk because it doesn’t work. That tester is a pile of junk I tested a line several time and it says it’s good but I replaced the line anyway because I checked everything else and the line was bad

@faithholy3245 Год назад

I am currently having issues with TV no line connection after 5 years usage inside of Church. I bought a Klein tool tester. Can I use the remote on the connector at the opposite end approximately 30 feet to TV receiver connector. Thanks for your video demonstrating how to hook up tester with remote, Klein instructions did not show this condition.

@UltimateTechHub Год назад

Yes you use the tool to test the connection.

@kevindorhauer3827 Год назад

Your videos are awesome. QUESTION: do you know of any testers that can test the cable with one end as a connector and the other end as a wall jack? Maybe I’m not searching for it right but I can’t seem to find one. Thanks in advance!

@UltimateTechHub Год назад

Yes they should make something like that. I haven't seen one but wall jack wiring is super easy and I've never had any problems with wall jacks not working. I have videos on wall jack wiring so make sure to check it out. Thank you for watching and if you subscribed thank you as well.

@kevindorhauer3827 Год назад

I have! Very helpful! I have zero experience at this! I’m currently building my house and wiring it for internet, doing it myself to cut some costs! About to purchase all my wire and tools. And now looking into good cable management in my attic… I’m thinking of some sort of suspension system

@James_Knott Год назад

I have a basic continuity tester for my own use. However, in my work, I have used more sophisticated testers, including for certifying installations. Word of advice, based on experience, be careful around PoE. Some testers don't like it.

@UltimateTechHub Год назад

Thanks for the great advice. I've used better testers In college but they can be a bit pricey. This tester was cheap enough and does all the basics. Thank you for watching.

@cam5816 Год назад

Why/how would I run into this situation? I am an extreme novice but I’m trying to learn. A bit late to the game though, I’ll admit lol

@James_Knott Год назад

@@cam5816 Which situation? PoE? Power over Ethernet is commonly used for things like access points, cameras, VoIP phones, etc.. This puts power on the Ethernet cable for powering the device and that power can be harmful to cable testers.

@rishisood5685 Год назад

Not completely relevant question but I ran into a issue where I used power sources 5 port Ethernet hub and since I plugged into the wall jack, all my Ethernet wall jack in the house aren’t working anymore. Seems like the whole network is damaged somewhere. Any idea how I can test and figure out what caused it?

@James_Knott Год назад

@@rishisood5685 Well, it could be the switch is damaged, as it's hard to damage anything else. All you can to is test the switch one port at a time. You just have to test and see what works or not.

@jamesatkins4830 Год назад

How does the device do with dreaded temperamental connections? I have a summerhouse, with a 30m or so cat5e cable running to my house. I have 99.9% uptime, I lose network connection for at most 2 minutes a day... Not a big deal but annoys me. If the network connection is good at the time of testing, will this device tell me all is ok with the cable? Thanks

@UltimateTechHub Год назад

The device tells you that the connections are correct with no faults. If you have an occasional connection drop its from your router or switch or modem. The cat5e wires rarely fail randomly and I've never seen it happen with a cable that passed the network cables tester.

@jamesatkins4830 Год назад

@@UltimateTechHub thank you for the quick reply. This actually goes with my initial suspicion for what causes the dropouts, as I used an old router in the summerhouse effectively as a switch and for WiFi, when I reset that router I had no dropouts for several days which made me think it was the old router. I've recently changed it for a gigabit switch but the problem is still there.

@williamscannell1665 Год назад

What tester would be good to test the actual speed of the cable?

@UltimateTechHub Год назад

You can run a speed test between 2 computers by doing a file transfer. This will show your max speed on the cable.

@williamscannell1665 Год назад

@@UltimateTechHub I need it for the field not for computers. I have ip cameras for detection and need to know if cable can handle the speeds

@UltimateTechHub Год назад

Most IP cameras will never come close to 100 Mbps so cat5e is perfect or cat6 riser cable.

@williamscannell1665 Год назад

@@UltimateTechHub Sorry, What I am asking is for traffic detection type cameras in which a lot of information is sent back and forth. so that's why I'm asking. I need to be able to test the wire itself, In the field outdoors. continuity is not enough. I get tone but sometimes i don't get the camera online. plus i don't have the money to buy the crazy expensive ones.

@UltimateTechHub Год назад

@@williamscannell1665 They make cable speed testers but they are pricey. Cat6a would probably be your best bet with the higher bandwidth which allows lots of information back and forth at the same time. I've never had any problems with my cat6a in my house . And it's just slightly more expensive than cat6 riser cable.

@DJaquithFL 2 года назад

Reality check, with few exceptions particularly longer distances from a 20,000 SqFt house or to out buildings or speed requirements >1,250 MB/s fiber is nuts in a house. Instead in most homes including most mansions CAT-6 should suffice. CAT-6A is a pain to manage and terminate. CAT-6 can run 180', so taking 15' per ceiling drop that leaves 150' runs (150*150=22,500 SqFt). Personally I have a 2.5GbE/10GbE clean home running vanilla CAT-6 RJ45. 10GbE to PC/NAS/NVR and 2.5GbE to everything else (TVs, APs, etc).

@DJaquithFL 2 года назад
