Review: Good basic scanner, does the most needed functions for cable scans and testing, durable so far - I needed a good cable tester, but didn't want to spend $350-$500 to replace my old unit. This had all the basic features, cable test, tone, one remote, hub blink, backlight for display. I got the kit with a few additional remotes too for multiple cable scans. So far so good. I've used Klein hand tools for years and the cable scanner seems to be in line with their quality. It is a basic scanner though, and the cost reflects that. Seems to be durable so far, would recommend a case.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cable tester
*by R***. on January 16, 2026*

Good quality and reasonable price

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.
