Hi,
I have finished installing all of my cabling in the house which includes a number of runs of coax cable. Before I close all my walls I want to ensure that both the wire and terminations are properly functioning so as to be sure that everything will work when it is plugged in. For my Cat6 I used a network tester which proved really useful, but I cannot find anything similar for Coax.
What do you all use? I guess I could use a multimeter to check for shorts, and if I were to then short the wire at one end and do a continuity test on the other, however that seems like a bit of a pain in the rear! Do any of you have any good tricks or cheap tools for this?
Thx,
Jon
