The Scout Pro 3 tests voice (RJ11/12), data (RJ45), and video (coax F-connector) terminated cables. The backlit LCD screen displays cable length, wiremap, cable ID, and test results.
- Connect one end of the cable to be tested to the appropriate port on the Scout Pro 3 Tester (RJ45, RJ11/12, or F-connector).
- For end-to-end testing, connect the other end of the cable to a corresponding remote (LanMap for RJ45, CoaxMap for F-connector).
- Press the test button on the Scout Pro 3. The display will show the test results, including any faults (Open, Short, Miswire, or Split-Pair).

Using Locator Remotes:
The kit includes five LanMap RJ45 and five CoaxMap F-connector location remotes. These allow for mapping and identification of multiple cable runs in a single step, streamlining cable management and organization.
