## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you test bnc cables with this. if so , do i need to buy adapters to do so??**
A: I agree. If you use a bnc to rg59 f-type connector and use the connectors with the kit that will give you the connectivity you need.

**Q: Can you use hub blink on a poe switch?**
A: Although the instructions say "NOTE: DO NOT attempt to use Hub Blink function when connected to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) active port", a switch will not apply PoE power unless it first detects a PoE compatible device. We tested the Klein Scout Pro 3 tester hub blink tool on our PoE switch and it worked fine.

**Q: Can someone confirm if this will test cables with a bnc connector or sdi cables?**
A: Unit ships with adapters to test Coax (RG5x/6x) and Ethernet.  You would need to purchase an RG to BNC adapter (which cost about $1 US each). Klein may have a version that ships with BNC adapters. But I, personally did not choose that option nor do I remember the alternate options, offhand.

**Q: What is supposed to go in the open slot in the case below the test unit?  Have tone receiver that goes to the left, what goes in the rectangle cutout?**
A: Not the premium tone generator (with clips) in the VDV500-820 probe kit.  Only the toner wand fits in the left cutout.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential for Network Troubleshooting—Pinpoint Accuracy
*by E***U on May 23, 2025*

The Klein VSVD501-851 proved to be an invaluable tool in diagnosing a tricky network issue. I had wired a Cat6A keystone plug, but instead of the expected 1G fiber internet speed, I was only getting around 60 Mbps. This tool quickly identified the problem—two loose wires in the keystone. Thanks to its precise fault detection, I was able to redo the connection and instantly restored full 1Gbps speed, both up and down.Beyond its accuracy, the device is intuitive and efficient, making it a must-have for network setup and troubleshooting. One thing I’d recommend is getting a case to keep the tool and accessories organized and protected. Having a dedicated storage solution ensures everything stays secure and ready when you need it, especially for professional or frequent use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Quality Comes At A Cost
*by E***N on June 15, 2025*

This tool was able to detect an issue in an Ethernet wire that my other cheaper unit said had no issues. Very impressed with its capabilities.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the one!!
*by L***Z on March 18, 2025*

They say a craftsman is only as good as his tools, and when it comes to testing Ethernet cables, that couldn’t be more true. I’ve been in the game long enough to use everything from the dirt-cheap testers that barely do the job to the ultra-premium Fluke models that cost as much as a small car. The Klein Ethernet Tester Pro? It hits that sweet spot of reliability, affordability, and functionality.Unlike those budget testers that just scream “miswire” without telling you why, the Klein actually gives you useful data. It’s sensitive enough for PoE applications, which is a huge plus when working with powered devices. The build quality is solid—this thing can handle job-site abuse without falling apart. I’ve used it for multiple installations, and it has saved me time and frustration, not to mention unnecessary callbacks from clients.If you’re testing Ethernet drops more than just a couple of times a year, do yourself a favor and invest in this. It’s accurate, quick, and easy to use. Your clients will thank you (or at least, they won’t call you back complaining that their connection is dead).Now, is it a Fluke? No. But unless you’re doing hardcore daily network testing, you don’t need to drop that kind of cash. For the price, Klein absolutely delivers.
