Review: Great device, get yourself more barrel connectors. - Worked like a charm. After years of plugging in cables and checking there's a signal via powering up the device, this was a huge time saver. I finally labeled all of my connections (should have done that in the first place) and will share this with friends when they need it as well. Time is money and this saved me a lot of it. Easy to use and the only thing that would improve this is additional barrel connectors. If you tracing four "cables," you're going to need those to make these work. The other option is to add the connector at the wall plate, but most of those were behind the TV or stand. Way easier to test the cable where it enters the box or TV. Review: Simple and Useful - This is relatively inexpensive for how well it works. I have cables running through my foundation, into a crawlspace and coming out all over the house. This let me identify what jack inside corresponded to which cable on the splitters outside and verify that the cable was good. Definitely worth the cost. ## Features - VERSATILE CABLE TESTING: Cable tester tests coaxial cable and maps up to 4 locations, ensuring comprehensive testing and mapping capabilities - SIMPLE OPERATION: Easy-to-use push button operation for hassle-free testing - CLEAR LED INDICATION: LED panel provides easy-to-read results, indicating PASS, OPEN, or SHORT conditions and the location of each cable - EFFICIENT MULTI-CABLE TESTING: Color-coded push-on remotes allow for testing and mapping of up to four cables, enhancing efficiency - CONVENIENT REMOTE HOLDER: Removable, snap-on remote holder securely holds test remotes and F-adapter, providing easy access and storage - COMPLETE TESTING KIT: Includes 4 color-coded push-on remotes, F adapter, and batteries, offering a comprehensive testing solution - BATTERY POWERED: Uses 2 replaceable AAA batteries for convenient and accessible power source ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B076DP1534 | | Best Sellers Rank | #23,800 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #49 in Circuit Testers | | Brand Name | KLEIN TOOLS | | Color | Cranberry | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (3,948) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00092644583131, 00092644690730 | | Included Components | Batteries, 4 Colored Push-on Remotes, F-adapter, Snap-on Remote Holder | | Item Dimensions | 5.75 x 2.38 x 1 inches | | Item Type Name | Klein Tools VDV512-101 Explorer 2 Coax Tester Kit, Includes Cable Tester / Wire Tracer / Coax Mapper with Remotes to Test up to 4 Locations | | Item Weight | 4.8 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Klein Tools | | Measurement Type | Continuity Tester" or "Electrical Resistance Meter | | Model | VDV512-101 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Style Name | Coax Explorer 2 with Remote Kit | | UPC | 092644583131 092644690730 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KLEIN TOOLS - **Color:** Cranberry - **Item Weight:** 4.8 Ounces - **Power Source:** Battery Powered - **Style:** Coax Explorer 2 with Remote Kit ## Images ![VDV512-101 Explorer 2 Coax Tester Kit, Includes Cable Tester / Wire Tracer / Coax Mapper with Remotes to Test up to 4 Locations - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41j-63-K9OL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great device, get yourself more barrel connectors. *by R***K on November 24, 2025* Worked like a charm.

The extra test caps helped a lot and we're worth paying a little bit more. The readout is easy to understand. The tester fits right inside my toolbox. ## Frequently Bought Together - Klein Tools Coax Tester Tracer Mapper with Remote Kit, Test up To 4 Locations, Explorer 2 Klein Tools VDV512-101, Yellow - 16pcs F/T Plug Type Male to Female Coaxial Socket Adapter Satellite TV Aerial Coax RF Cable Coupling Connector Adaptor for Compatible with Internet A/V Device Port Digital Audio Video (Silver) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/56802067-vdv512-101-explorer-2-coax-tester-kit-includes-cable-tester](https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/56802067-vdv512-101-explorer-2-coax-tester-kit-includes-cable-tester) --- *Product available on Desertcart Oman* *Store origin: OM* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
