1. Plug both ends of the cable into the female BNC
connectors on the two RJ45/BNC adapter cables, thus
changing the coax cable to a RJ45/RJ45 cable. Plug one
end of the cable with the RJ45 connector into the
modular jack on the master unit marked with “▲” and
the other end to the receiving modular jack either on
the master unit or the remote terminator (for
F4F314-T only).
2. As soon as the power is turned on, select the scanning
mode to “MANUAL” and then press the “TEST” button
twice to see the first and second pair of LEDs which
indicates the continuity of the cable tested. It is
recommended to use ”MANUAL” mode for coax cable
since coax cable has only two conductors. Refer to
section “E” for further information.
A. To Test Twisted Pair (Shielded or
Unshielded) Modular Cables
B. To Test Coax Cable (BNC)
1. Plug one end of the cable into the modular jack on the
master unit marked with “▲” and the other end into the
receiving modular jack on either the master unit or the
remote terminator (for F4F314-T only).
2. As soon as power is turned on, select the scanning mode
to either “AUTO” or “MANUAL”. To do the “AUTO” test,
just press down the scanning mode button to “AUTO”
and the LED display will light up in sequence for each
conductor and show the pin-configuration of the cable.
To test the cable manually, just leave the scanning mode
button up on “MANUAL” mode, and press the “TEST”
button to see the continuity and pin-out of one particular
wire in the cables. Refer to section “D” and “E” for
further information.
3. For shielded cables the 9th LED marked with “G”
indicates the grounding/shielding of the cable. If the
cable is properly grounded/shielded, the “G” LEDs on
both lines should light up, otherwise the cable is not
grounded/shielded.

1. Plug the first end of the cable into the modular jack on
the master unit marked with “▲” (plug the RJ45/BNC
adapter on first for the coax cable testing), then plug the
second end of the cable at the remote location into the
modular jack on the remote terminator. Then repeat the
instructions from section “A-2”, except compare the LEDs
on the remote terminator to the LEDs on the master unit.
If the remote end of the cable is connected to a faceplate
or patch panel, you will need to use the included
RJ45/RJ45 or RJ45/BNC adapters to connect the cable to
the remote terminator.
