Review: Great value - First and foremost, the build quality of the Scout Pro 3 is exceptional. It's rugged and durable, designed to withstand the demands of daily use in the field. The ergonomic design fits comfortably in hand, and the intuitive interface makes it easy to navigate menus and interpret test results, even in challenging working conditions. The functionality of the Scout Pro 3 is top-notch. It's capable of testing a wide range of cable types, including coaxial, twisted pair, and telephone cables, making it suitable for a variety of applications in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. The ability to detect wiring faults such as opens, shorts, and miswires with pinpoint accuracy saves me valuable time on the job, allowing me to quickly diagnose and resolve issues. One of the standout features of the Scout Pro 3 is its versatility. It offers multiple testing modes, including wiremap, length measurement, and tone generator, providing me with the flexibility to tackle different tasks with ease. The built-in tone generator is particularly useful for tracing cables in complex network installations, saving me hours of manual labor. The reliability of the Scout Pro 3 is also worth mentioning. It delivers consistent and accurate results every time, ensuring that I can trust the integrity of my cable installations. The included remote units make it easy to test cables at both ends without the need for additional equipment, further streamlining the testing process. Overall, I highly recommend the KLEIN TOOLS VDV501-851 Scout Pro 3 Cable Tester to telecommunications technicians and other professionals who require a reliable and efficient tool for testing and troubleshooting cables. Its exceptional build quality, functionality, versatility, reliability, and ease of use make it a standout choice in the market.
Review: Excellent piece of kit. - Excellent piece of kit and a very good price. The feature set on the scout pro 3 is very good as it encompasses a cable tester, cable toner, cable length guide, and also tests cable for rj11 and coax. Having the ability to run cable length tests on each cable pair is very handy as this will give an idea where the fault lies if the cable tester reports a fault on a particular conductor. Having the ability to tone from this device as well (paired with the klein probe) is a very good feature as it means you don't have to carry lots of different testers in your tool bag. One other great feature is the HUB blink option. When plugged into a wall port that is plugged into a switch, the HUB blink mode will slowly flash the link light to identify where the other end of the cable is connected. Overall this has a large number of features that mean you only need to carry one tool in your bag to fault find or verify cables. Thaddeus benefit of a back-light also means you can read the results in low light conditions where ever you may be.

## Features

- VERSATILE CABLE TESTING: Cable tester tests voice (RJ11/12), data (RJ45), and video (coax F-connector) terminated cables, providing clear results for comprehensive testing
- EXTENDED CABLE LENGTH MEASUREMENT: Measure cable length up to 2000 feet (610 m), allowing for precise cable length determination
- COMPREHENSIVE FAULT DETECTION: Test for Open, Short, Miswire, or Split-Pair faults, ensuring thorough fault detection and identification
- BACKLIT LCD DISPLAY: Backlit LCD screen displays cable length, wiremap, cable ID, and test results, ensuring easy readability in various lighting conditions

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between the two models? Does the base one also test PoE?**
A: Yes, base test it, with the more expensive one you can test more points at the same time.

**Q: Does this work with rj11 and cat5?**
A: Yes it does. As well as coax cables.

**Q: Do the remote identifiers also function as testers**
A: Hi,
Yes, it does test the line indicating a PASS or FAULT on the screen. If the cable fails then it will also show which pairs have failed. I have used it to install lines across floors and rooms altogether and I was very satisfied with it. However, I would suggest having a look at youtube; there are plenty of videos showing the full range of features that the tester covers.
Hope this helps.
