Questions & Answers
The unit is powered by two AA batteries, correct? So, how long of a cable will the unit test before voltage drop becomes an issue? Second question, how long of a cable can the unit test with accuracy?
It is powered by two AAA batteries. Maximum Cable Length: 2000 feet (610 meters)
Can this unit test multiple Ethernet cables at the same time? I notice it only comes with one remote, can the remotes from the scout pro three be used on this unit to test more than just one Ethernet cable?
The Lan Scout Jr. is not designed for use with the Scout Pro 3 remotes
Will this tester show a network connection?
No. The LAN Scout Jr. 2 Cable Tester tests installed or loose data (CAT 5e, CAT 6/6A) cables terminated with RJ45 connectors. It also tones cables with multiple tone frequencies.
Will this test Cat 8 cables?
The Lan Scout Jr. is designed for shielded or unshielded; Cat-7, Cat-6/6A, Cat-5E, Cat-3
Will unit check ethernet wall jack for output?
The LAN Scout Jr. 2 Cable Tester tests installed or loose data (CAT 5e, CAT 6/6A) cables terminated with RJ45 connectors.
Does it indicate where the problem is, and how many feet the problem is located away from source?
The Lan Scout Jr. will test for open, short, miswire or split-pair faults, cross-over and shield, but will not indicate how many feet the problem is located away from the source.
Will this tester work when only using 2 pairs in rj45 connector instead of the standard 4 pairs? We make them with only 2 pairs and your lower end one-button tester only shows an "open" because our connectors lack 2 pairs.
The open icon will illuminate when any of the conductor wires are not correctly terminated, along with that pin number. Please see the "Instructions / Assembly" document under Additional Resources from the manufacturer for the full tester specs.
Will this test CAT7 cables?
Yes. Cable types: Shielded or Unshielded; Cat-7, Cat-6/6A, Cat-5E, Cat-3
