How to Perform a Cable Test

• Power on the Cable Prowler.

• Connect a network, coax, or telephone cable to the appropriate connector

on the top of the Cable Prowler.

(Warning! Do not plug an RJ11 cable directly into the Cable

Prowler! A standard RJ11 cable will damage the Cable Prowler’s

RJ45 jack. Use the included RJ adapter patch cable that is

included with the cable Prowler.)

• Press the enter button to display the cable test menu. The Cable Prowler

will automatically perform a test upon entering the cable test menu.

• To test coax or telephone cable, press the coax or telephone soft key.

• If a remote is NOT being used (one ended test), the Cable Prowler will

test the length of each pair, opens, shorts, or split pairs. Performing a

one ended test will not verify connectivity on the opposite end of the

cable.

• If a remote is being used, connect the remote to the opposite end of the

cable.

• To calibrate the VOP, connect a known length of cable to the Cable

Prowler and press the up/down/left/right buttons to increase or

decrease the VOP. Press the left and right buttons to select and change

the VOP one digit at a time.

• While adjusting the VOP, press the test button every so often until the

length of the cable is displayed.

• Press the green test button or the loop mode soft key to

perform additional tests.

• To save a cable test, press the save icon.

• Use the arrow buttons and the enter button to name the cable test le.

• Press the save icon to save the cable test le.
