## Description

The Scout Pro 3 Tester with Locator Remote Kit is a versatile cable tester that locates and tests voice, data and video cables. Identify multiple cable runs with 18 location mapping remotes (included). Test for Power over Ethernet (PoE) and measure cable length. This kit verifies accurate cable installations each time. Backlit display assists in reading results in lower light.

Review: Works remarkably well. I tied and gave up doing this manually; with 14 leads and testing 2 ends at a time, there are C(14,2) = 91 possible combinations. With this tool, I simply plugged in 6 total test ends then just used the reader to test the remaining 8 wires and found out exactly what goes where (coax wires).
Review: In my role as deputy director of IT in a small shop, I've needed to add equipment I can trust to help make sure we get the job done right the first time. This is tool and the location end have been amazing for helping us figure out location of lines, testing old ones, finding where issues are with length detection, verify our new runs, and make sure poe is up to voltage for running the phones and cameras. It might not be as fancy as some other more expensive tools, but it is a workhorse and gives tou everything you need in a good rugged case! Definitely recommend for any network installer or cable runner trying to make sure they got it right.

## 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.

*by S***N on 18 June 2023*

Works as expected and components are good quality. The Klein case and foam cut-outs hold parts firmly. I purchased the Probe Pro Tracing tool separately to add to the case. Not a big user but expect this to be with me for many years.
