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 (CA012) 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.
