## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you test bnc cables with this. if so , do i need to buy adapters to do so??**
A: I agree. If you use a bnc to rg59 f-type connector and use the connectors with the kit that will give you the connectivity you need.

**Q: Can you use hub blink on a poe switch?**
A: Although the instructions say "NOTE: DO NOT attempt to use Hub Blink function when connected to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) active port", a switch will not apply PoE power unless it first detects a PoE compatible device. We tested the Klein Scout Pro 3 tester hub blink tool on our PoE switch and it worked fine.

**Q: Can someone confirm if this will test cables with a bnc connector or sdi cables?**
A: Unit ships with adapters to test Coax (RG5x/6x) and Ethernet.  You would need to purchase an RG to BNC adapter (which cost about $1 US each). Klein may have a version that ships with BNC adapters. But I, personally did not choose that option nor do I remember the alternate options, offhand.

**Q: What is supposed to go in the open slot in the case below the test unit?  Have tone receiver that goes to the left, what goes in the rectangle cutout?**
A: Not the premium tone generator (with clips) in the VDV500-820 probe kit.  Only the toner wand fits in the left cutout.
