When you have a bunch of aerial sockets with wires running back to a single location, you can use this tool to identify which wire goes to which location. This assumes that all wires and all sockets have no faults. If you have a socket with bad or poor reception then this tool won't help you identify what's causing the poor reception. If you have a socket with no reception at all and you can tell without doubt that you are connecting the tool to the other end of the wire running to that socket then you can identify whether there is a break in the wire or a short circuit along the length of the wire. **Q: How many remotes actually come with it. Descriptions points to 2 & picture shows 4** A: It comes with 4 different coloured remotes. That light up the corresponding colours on the handheld unit. **Q: Can this be used if you don't have access to the other end of the Coax? e.g. if you want to test if your cable pull is good before ordering broadband?** A: No, this isn’t a signal tester. This is used to identify the cable and requires access to both ends of the cable. **Q: Can the coax cable be traced if the terminated end is still connected to say an amplifier. Need something where i dont have to remove all cables** A: Unfortunately not, this goes directly on the terminated end. I’m not sure you’ll find anything out there that can trace cables without being connected to the internal cores. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well for a Cheap Tool *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 28 October 2024* Great unit to have in your pocket when testing cctv lines ! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good build quality *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 5 January 2025* Worked fine ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 28 August 2023* Great little coax cable tester, very good value. ## Frequently Bought Together - Klein Tools VDV512-100 Cable Tester, Coax Explorer 2 VDV Tester, Push Button Operation for Wire Tracing, Testing and Mapping Coaxial Cable - Preciva Coax Cable Crimper, Coaxial Wire Compression Toolkit with Crimp Tool, Double-Blade Wires Terminal Stripper Adjustable for Cable RG59/6/58/174, 20 F Connectors(for RG6 Cable&Cable TV) - 5 Plus Group 5 PCS Micro F Type Connector Satellite Cable Female to Female Coupler Joiner Gender Changer --- ## 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.ar/products/53463477-](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/53463477-) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
