Platinum Tools’ next generation VDV MapMaster 3.0 cable tester tests Cat7, Cat6A, Cat6, Cat5e, Cat5, Cat4, and Cat3 shielded and unshielded cables, voice, and coax. The MapMaster 3.0 is capable of identifying and mapping 20 locations at one time. The large, backlit display, glow-in-the-dark keypad, a built-in flashlight and audible beep verification also helps the professional to work in the dark. There is also a blinking port to allow port identification on switches that cables are connected to. The company says single-ended testing for shorts reduces trouble-shooting with the MapMaster 3.0, making it useful for installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance on telco, network, or coax cable in any situation.
