Or just one single one wire run?** A: No. This tool is for testing continuity and locating cables from end to end. **Q: can you order more tester ends (the LANmap ends) so you can have more than 5?** A: Instead of the VDV501-823, I purchased the VDV501-816 because it includes cable length measurement and the 823 doesn't have that feature. The only additional Lanmap ends that I see listed on Amazon are the VDV526-055 Kit which are only compatible with the VDV501-053 or the VDV501-809 Testers. You will probably have to contact Klein Tools direct about this question. I see that the VDV501-809 tester is available for sale on Amazon so maybe that is the path you should take. **Q: Can you get the coax locater toners separately?** A: Yes **Q: Does this beep or tone for continuity testing?** A: No, mostly disappointing for testing. It does one job, and will fail if cable crimp sucks. ## Frequently Bought Together - Klein Tools VDV501-823 Cable Tester, VDV Scout Pro 2 Traces and Tests Coax Cable, Network Data Cable, and Telephone Cable with Remotes - Klein Tools VDV427-300 Impact Punchdown Tool with 66/110 Blade, Reliable CAT Cable Connections, Adjustable Force, Includes Pick and Spudger - Cable Matters 10-Pack Low Profile 2-Port Keystone Jack Wall Plate, RJ45 Wall Plate for Keystone Jacks in White --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/15214727-klein-tools-vdv501-823-cable-tester-vdv-scout-pro-2](https://www.desertcart.in/products/15214727-klein-tools-vdv501-823-cable-tester-vdv-scout-pro-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-08-08*
