TREND Networks R158007 VDV II BT Cable Tester with Bluetooth and PoE Detection

The TREND Networks R158007 VDV II BT stands apart from ordinary continuity testers by combining full wiremap diagnostics, TDR length measurement, and Power over Ethernet detection in one rugged handheld unit. Bluetooth connectivity adds a layer of convenience that most entry-level testers simply do not offer, letting you generate professional reports from the job site without a laptop.

Highlights

• Tests copper data, voice, and video cabling with RJ11/RJ12, RJ45, and coax F-type connectors
• Wiremap verification identifies opens, shorts, reversals, split pairs, and miswires
• TDR length measurement up to 150 m (500 ft) with distance-to-fault readout
• PoE detection shows voltage and pair assignment for 802.3af/at/bt
• Bluetooth connectivity for reporting via the TREND AnyWARE app
• Backlit LCD for clear readings in dark wiring closets
• Digital and analog tone generator with multiple frequencies for cable tracing
• Includes coax and RJ45 remotes for one-person testing

In daily use

The VDV II BT is built for technicians who need fast, reliable answers. Connect a cable, press test, and the wiremap appears instantly. If a run is too long or has a break, the TDR gives you the exact distance to the fault, saving hours of guesswork. The PoE detection feature is especially useful when installing IP cameras or access points—you can verify that power is present and on the correct pairs before connecting equipment. The tone generator helps you trace cables through bundles, and the backlit display keeps everything readable in low light.
