Copper Cable Testers / Verifiers That Make Wiremapping Easy
The VDV II Series are easy to use cable testers that check the integrity of copper cables commonly found in domestic, commercial or industrial voice, data or video installations, including telephone wiring, data network and video/security cabling.
Employing state-of-the-art technology, VDV II offers functionality not previously available in a wiremapper. The advanced wiremap engine accurately displays complex wiring faults instantaneously whilst TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) aids troubleshooting and improves
VDV II cable testers / verifiers check the integrity of copper cables commonly found in voice, data or video installations, including telephone wiring, data networks and video/security cabling.
Measures cable length
Provides distance to fault (TDR)
Identifies wiring errors instantly
Determines services running: ISDN, PBX and PoE
RJ-11, RJ-12, RJ-45 and COAX ports
VDV II Basic
Performs standard tests for copper
cabling, including: Coax, 6Pin (RJ11/12), 8Pin (RJ45) Connectors for Copper Cable Testing, Wiremap for Miswires, Split Pairs, Shorts and Opens, Analog Tone Generator, Voltage Protection, Shielded Cable Testing and Single Screen Results
VDV II Basic Contents
Includes: 1 x tester, 1 x dual port remote unit, 1 x coax remote unit, 1 x alkaline battery, 1 x multi-language user guide.
Accuracy
The flagship VDV II Pro cable verifier utilises TDR to accurately measure cable length and provide distance to fault information.
TDR's work by injecting a signal into the cable and measuring the time for any signal to be reflected back after encountering changes in impedance caused by cable damage, open and short circuits.
The recorded time is then translated into an accurate distance measurement. TDR helps to pinpoint where cabling faults occur. This speeds up fault finding as well as minimising disruption and potential damage to fixtures and fixings.
Speed
With comprehensive details on faults such as opens, shorts, crossovers and split pairs, the VDV II cable verifier identifies wiring errors instantly.
The integrated RJ-11/RJ-12 (voice), RJ-45 (data) and coax F-Type (video) connectors allow faster testing of most types of low-voltage cables by eliminating the need for separate testers or adapters.
Intelligence
Connection issues are not always associated with cable faults, so VDV II Pro has the capability to help identify service related issues.
By detecting the presence of voltage and checking polarity, VDV II Pro quickly determines which media service is running over the cable, such as ISDN, PBX and PoE (Power over Ethernet) resulting in faster fault diagnosis.
Troubleshooting active Ethernet networks is also made easier with in-built network detection that displays network rate and duplex information.
Furthermore, to prevent potentially costly damage to the tester all VDV II's are smart enough to know when they have been plugged into an outlet where voltage is present.
Voice
Support for 1, 2 or 3-pair RJ11/12 telephone testing cable.
Data
Support for 1, 2 or 3-pair RJ11/12 telephone testing cable.
Video
Tests coax cable through F-connector interface.
