Not only can you tone multi-run coax systems terminated with F-connectors to distinguish which cable is run to each room, but you can also test for opens, and shorts, making this tool a must have! Simplify your work load by using this 8-way mapper from InstallMates! The mapper comes with 8 color-coded terminators that you plug onto the jack of every room that has a coaxial run. Next, go to the cable box where all the runs lead to and choose a cable, connect the mapper to the cables and wait for light indicator to tell you which room you're connected to! The last step is to label the cable accordingly and be on your way… We've included a mesh case to keep your mapper looking and performing well…And we've equipped you with a push on F-Fitting to keep your connector port free from wear n' tear. We simply made the unit your carrying case! The bottom of this unit has a removable cap that allows access to a hollow compartment for storing your terminators. Review: Very good product at a decent price - I am very pleased with this product. I used to be an installer with a major satellite company and I am very familiar with using toners to trace lines. Recently bought a new house and have multiple lines coming to a central box from every room with no identifiers. Every color on this device toned out perfectly. Toners are not meant to go through splitters, this is installation 101 kinda stuff, so if you have splitters, then you are going to have to track down where those are first. Also toners are fragile so if you don't protect them they will get damaged and stop working. I toned out 24 lines with every toner color with a 0 failure rate. It is also worth mentioning that if you don't have a well installed F connector and trimmed stinger then you may not get a line trace. If you leave your stinger too long it can also damage the main unit (Trim your stingers!). You can always test the unit with a short 6"-1' run of coax and connect one end to a toner and the other to the main unit to verify it's toning out correctly.

Works great ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product. Simplified my old house's cable nightmare *by J***U on July 11, 2015* Great product. Simplified my old house's cable nightmare. I was able to find all but one outlet using this device. I have somewhere around 15 coax drops in this house built in the 80's. I think the builder of the home was obsessed with having coax drops. The master bedroom had 3 coax drops - strange. Anyhow, this device is simple to use and made my task of crawling in the attic to map out the coax in the house a breeze. I recommend this to anyone that needs to map out lots of coax drops quickly. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/12382246-8-way-coax-cable-tester-with-case](https://www.desertcart.in/products/12382246-8-way-coax-cable-tester-with-case) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
