CABLE IDENTIFICATION – DATA AND VOICE CABLES:
It is often necessary to identify cables that branch out from the wiring closet. The VDV Scout in two ways:
The first and most convenient way to identify installed cables is by using location ID remotes. Using location ID
remotes, you can trace up to 19 drop locations with one trip to the wiring closet or router. Identification with ID
remotes is done digitally and does not rely on any manual tracing.
The second way to identify cables is by using the VDV Scout
will place a low-frequency voltage on the cable. By using an analog tone probe (Klein Tools VDV500-123, sold
separately), a cable can be identified by the tone it is carrying. This technique only allows one cable to be traced
per tone generator, but has additional benefits like the ability to trace unterminated cables of non-standard types.
• LanMap™ Location ID Remotes identify location only.
• CoaxMap™ Location ID Remotes identify location only.
• Test+Map™ ID Remotes identify location, and perform wire map and length tests.
IDENTIFYING INSTALLED RJ45 CABLE (FIG. 5):
1. Insert a numbered LanMap™ Location ID Remote into the
RJ45 port of each room that needs to be identified. Write
down numbers and room names for later reference.
2. Take the VDV Scout
(the source of the internet connection).
3. Connect an unknown cable to the RJ45 port on the top
of the tester.
4. Press the Data button
will read 'ID#', where '#' is the ID number of the LanMap™
Location ID Remote connected to the other side of the cable.
Compare this number to the number/room pair list you made
in Step 1 and mark the cable with a piece of labelled tape.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for each unknown cable until all have been labelled.
You can use these labels to determine which rooms should be connected
to the router, or to troubleshoot intermittent connections in the future.

IDENTIFYING INSTALLED COAX CABLE (FIG. 6):
1. Insert a numbered CoaxMap™ Location ID
Remote into the F-connector port of each
room that needs to be identified. Write down
numbers and room names for later reference.
2. Take the VDV Scout

closet or cable splitter (the source of the
cable connection).
3. Attach female-to-female Barrel Connector to
the F-connector port on the top of the tester,
then connect an unknown cable to the Barrel
Connector.
4. Press the Video button
ID test. The LCD will read 'ID#', where '#'
is the ID number of the CoaxMap™ Location
ID Remote connected to the other side of the
cable. Compare this number to the number/
room pair list you made in Step 1 and mark
the cable with a piece of labelled tape.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for each unknown cable
until all have been labelled.
