Klein Tools has introduced its new LAN Explorer Data Cable Tester (Cat. No. VDV526-100) and Compact Pass-Thru Modular Crimper (Cat. No. VDV226-005).

“This addition to Klein’s Voice-Data-Video product line offers two innovative solutions to connecting and testing successful installations in phone and data applications,” says Karen Alpan, product manager at Klein Tools. “The LAN Explorer Data Cable Tester provides instant, easy-to-understand results, while the Compact Pass-Thru Modular Crimper quickly crimps and trims data connectors. Their simple, compact designs help lighten tool bags to make traveling to and from the job site easier.”

Per the manufacturer, the VDV526-100 tests voice and data cables for miswires, open faults, short faults and shield status. The VDV226-005 works with Klein Tools' Pass-Thru connectors to reduce prep time with the capability to crimp the company's RJ45 Pass-Thru connectors and trim conductor wires in one step. Both products augment Klein Tools’ existing Voice-Data-Video product line and feature pocket-sized, compact designs for easy, all-day carrying.
