Questions & Answers
will this load test PoE?
Although the Klein Tools Cat. No. VDV501-851 will not test PoE, Klein Tools VDV501-852 and VDV501-853 testers do measure PoE.
What does it mean if the coaxmap shows as a U or a number that I don't have IE 8, 10,14 when I only have 1-5?
For assistance with your tester please contact Klein Tools Customer Service 1-800-553-4676
