Does this device measure the live data signal coming over a coax cable?

The Klein Tools VDV501-809 VDV Scout Pro is a toner with connections for voice (RJ11/12), data (RJ45), and video (F-connector coax) connections. The tool also tests continuity on the above connections and is a wire mapper for the data and voice lines.

No. In fact, in the literature from Klein it says not to use on energized circuits. Here is a web address that might be helpful: http://www.kleintools.com/sites/kleintools/files/instructions/VDV501-814-VDV501-809-VDV%20Scout-Pro-Series-Instructions.pdf .

It tests for continuity and for identification but does not have signal testing capabilities.

No. It is a simple multi room toner so u can find the line you need in a mess. What you asking about is a signal level meter which can be VERY pricey. this device tones out lines for coaxial data and phone

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.

Yes it works good is a great tester for data too. If you have ends on both side of the wire you will need a coax barrel for one side of your tester. You don't need it if is terminated on a wall plate

Dear Customer, This is a signal detector, do not need to download some data packets or the cable. We have the probe for detecting. Mambate USA IN.

RG-213 performance is published online, comparing cable standards, frequency, and losses. See http://www.w4rp.com/ref/coax.html to name just one.

yes. the picture is wrong, the probe has rj45 (not rj11) port in it and the two units together will test each of the 8 conductors on the ethernet cable for shorts, opens, and correct order.

sure, just disconnect both ends of the cable and connect the transmitter device to one end. One clip to the center conductor, one clip to the shield or the connector. this will put a signal on the line and you should be able to hear the tone on the other end. Just make sure there isn't a TV or such connected to it. You won't get a strong signal. And, because Coax is a shielded cable you'll only be able to read the center conductor.

My experience is that the sensor must be very close to the transmitted signal. My opinion is it would not work for cable behind wallboard, etc. Could be a help in sorting out cables you can touch.

I don't think it has a coax output because that wouls default the purpose of the unit. I use it as a coax input from the wall with a RCA output to my tv.

Physically yes. but u have comcast, which 'encrypts' its signal so only its cable box cab decipher and display the signal.

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.

For your purposes, NO! This device only traps radio frequency signals broadcast over the air and creates an RF signal. That signal must be inserted into the coaxial rf connector only! Hdmi is a processed signal created by a tuner and can not use the rf signal in any way. Apples and orangss here. Two completely different signals that are totally incompatible with each other.Best option is to get the coax input repaired or replaced.

Depends on what sort of coax you're talking about. The connector that comes with the device is an RCA. An RCA-to-BNC adaptor or an RCA-to-RG6 adapter will connect the monitor to a RG-58 or RG-59 or RG-6 coax. The signal will carry just fine. Coax cables other than those three (such as so-called 'thin coax' - used in some residential installations by local security companies) will carry the signal just fine, but you'll have trouble finding connectors and/or compression fittings for small diameter coax cables.

Mine behaves same as yours, COAX light blinks more based on amount of network traffic running through the adapter.

Yes, there are two sets of coax in/out. One marked Cable/Modem and another marked Sat/Antenna.
1504070
no the cable is imbedded in the base of the antenna the other end has a standard coax connector

No. It has an input for a coaxe cable, and an out put for an ethernet cable.
