FAQ

Q. What is a coax tester used for?
A. A coax tester is a specialized tool used to test and troubleshoot coaxial cables, ensuring proper signal transmission and identifying cable faults in cable TV, satellite, and other coaxial installations.

Q. Can I use a coax tester for other cable types like Ethernet cables?
A. Coax testers are specifically designed for testing coaxial cables and may not be suitable for other cable types like Ethernet cables. For Ethernet cable testing, it's best to use a dedicated network cable tester.

Q. How do I use a coax tester to test coaxial cables?
A. To test coaxial cables, connect the coax tester to one end of the target coaxial cable, activate the tester, and review the LED indicators or display to check for signal continuity, short circuits, and cable integrity.

Q. What is an RJ45 tester used for?
A. An RJ45 tester is a specialized tool used to test and troubleshoot RJ45 Ethernet cables commonly used in computer networks, ensuring proper connectivity and identifying cable faults.

Q. Can I use an RJ45 tester to identify crossover cables or cable types?
A. Yes, an RJ45 tester can help identify crossover cables and cable types (e.g., Cat5e, Cat6) by displaying the wiring configuration and cable category when testing.

Q. Can I use a coax cable tester for testing other cable types like Ethernet cables?
A. No, coax cable testers are specifically designed for testing coaxial cables and are not suitable for testing other cable types like Ethernet cables. For Ethernet cable testing, an RJ45 tester should be used.

Q. What is a cable tester RJ45 used for?
A. A cable tester RJ45, also known as an RJ45 Ethernet cable tester, is a specialized tool designed to test and troubleshoot RJ45 Ethernet cables commonly used in computer networks, ensuring proper connectivity and identifying cable faults.

Q. Can I use a cable tester RJ45 for other cable types like coaxial cables?
