VDV Multimedia Wiremapper and Tester


The IDEAL® VDV Wiremapper and Tester is a versatile, all-in-one LCD-based tool designed to verify the proper wiring of low-voltage and data communications cables. Its primary function, the wiremap test, visually displays, pin by pin, whether a cable is terminated correctly and if there is continuity from end to end. This handy device can test data/ethernet RJ45 (8P8C), voice/phone RJ11/12 (6P6C/6P4C), and video/coax cables, with the LCD showing “PASS” or “ERROR” after each test to confirm proper termination. In Data Mode, the RJ45 port tests connectors terminated to CAT5e/6/6a twisted pair cables. The VDV checks each conductor for opens, shorts, miswires, reversals, or split pairs, and can identify uplink/crossover cables. Results are displayed in a pin-to-pin format, with error types clearly shown on the screen. Shield continuity can also be tested on shielded RJ45 connectors and cables. In Voice Mode, the RJ11/12 port tests up to 6 conductors, similar to the Data test but tailored for voice applications. In Video Mode, the F port tests coax cables for opens and shorts on the pin and shield. Additionally, the built-in tone generator can tone each cable port by pin, by pair, or the entire cable, with four user-selectable analog tone patterns included. This comprehensive tool ensures accurate and efficient testing for all your voice, data, and video cable needs.
