Will this test coaxial cables.

I believe this is unit is basically a continuity tester so if your cable can connect then it should work. As mentioned by others, the problem you will have is if your COAX cable has connectors that will work with this unit.

It has coaxial testers but i never used them because i didn't work with coax at the time. It only tested cat3/5/6 for about 2 weeks before it broke

So, it depends on what type of connector is on the COAX, Coax typically only refers to the type of cable. A regular (cable tv) F-type connector will not directly fit on this. This tester has two BNC female connectors, so if your COAX has male BNC connectors you are good to go. If you are trying to test your standard Ftype coax (the kind that goes on your TV) you could get some adapters (Male BNC to Male Ftype) like these: http://www.amazon.com/GW-Security-GW1084-F-Type-Connector/dp/B008DKLR42/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1386196242&sr=1-1&keywords=BNC+to+F+type and it should work just fine. -Mike

Nope. This is for networking cables only. Ethernet and old school T ring style network cables. Coax (like for your TV) will not fit.

I have used this tool with PPC RG 6 compression connectors on quad shielded coax cables and it works well. Connectors are compressed very easily using this tool.

I have a coax going to this device which is running cable channels and I have it connected through an HDMI cable to my TV. Works fine for me.

One thing needs mentioning that isn't shared very often. Don't look for an open circuit on the antenna. If you test for a short between center and the threaded shell, it will have a reading that looks like a short. It does not. Just the way the antenna is constructed. Test coax separately.

I purchased this cable hoping to resolve a similar problem. It didn't work because the coaxial connector is not like the ones we've used for decades to hook up TV's. The coaxial connector on this cable is "fat" and has 19 pins.
1440641
yes it will but the cable is like coax but not as stiff so you might need to attach it to a snake or something.

No, you can test through a patch panel, but a switch is looking for packet info and isn't a straight through path on the cables.
1244536
Yes. If the cable is terminated correctly at both ends, you can use the Ethernet ports, otherwise you can test using the supplied alligator clips on the signal generator.

Hello, the coax function does work end to end. At the bottom of the tester is the remote probe you pull out. One side of the probe has a RJ-11 and RJ-45 connector, the other side is a small male F connector. I highly recommend also getting a F connector coupler for testing coax cables. Most of my coax connections I test are BNC, so I had to make a few converters for it to suit my needs. Hope this helps

This is a tone and probe and continuity tester. Basically, it will test whether a wire has a break or a complete circuit, and will allow you to audibly identify a line.

Rj, I'm not sure, I only used it to test CAT5 over about 50 feet and coaxial cable about the same distance. It worked great.
1942246
yes it would work for that, but youd want to be able to access the individual conductors to get a clear tone from the probe, if the wires are all inside insulation it will give you a reading but it might take a few goes to be 100% sure.

No. It has an input for a coaxe cable, and an out put for an ethernet cable.
1947752
I just tried this for you, and yes - it will check resistance between neutral and ground, and alert if they're connected together.
898959
nope. it does not come with a coaxial input anymore. It has rca, hdmi, Y/pb/pr, VGA for connection

No, this is for Cable/QAM/Cable Modems, basically if it runs through Coaxile.

I haven't done it, but on page seven of the user manual from fluke, it shows an example of a coax cable being traced with one end of the alligator clips being connected to the coax, and one to ground, with the probe used on the other end and the rest of the cable before the break. Plus other reviewers have said that they have traced coax, the link to the manual is here http://www.testequipmentdepot.com/flukenetworks/pdf/pro3000_manu.PDF. But you should do further research yourself, as said, I haven't actually used it for coax 'yet', myself.
