IDEAL 33-866 VDV Network Tester Kit Test-Tone-Trace

Product Overview

The IDEAL 33-866 Test-Tone-Trace VDV Network Tester Kit is an all-in-one testing and troubleshooting solution for voice, data, video, twisted-pair, and coaxial cabling installations. It is designed to help installers verify wiring, locate cables, trace conductors, and identify common termination problems during installation and maintenance.

Key Features & Design

• Functionality: Tests common modular wiring faults including shorts, opens, miswires, split pairs, and reversals. It can also wiremap twisted-pair cables, detect opens and shorts in coax, locate hard-to-find cables, and provide four selectable tones for cable tracing.
• Installation context: Suitable for voice, data, video, CCTV, network, telecom, and other low-voltage twisted-pair or coaxial cable installation and maintenance work. The specification sheet specifically identifies the kit for analog coax and IP/digital twisted-pair CCTV systems.
• Notable specifications: Supports verification and continuity testing for RJ-45, RJ-11, F, BNC, and RCA connections. It can identify shielded cables and 568A-to-568B uplink cables.
• Contractor-relevant details: The kit includes a VDV main tester with remote, amplifier probe with volume control, carrying case, RJ-45 and RJ-11 patch cables, coax patch cables, BNC and RCA adapters, an F-81 adapter, instruction manuals, and two 9V batteries.

Performance / Benefits

The IDEAL 33-866 combines cable testing, fault identification, wiremapping, and tone-and-trace capabilities in one kit. It helps installers verify link integrity, troubleshoot termination problems, and locate individual cables or conductors without carrying separate basic testing and tracing tools.
