VDV II – CABLE TESTERS / VERIFIERS
The VDV II Series are easy to use cable testers that check the integrity of copper cables commonly found in domestic, commercial or industrial voice, data or video installations, including telephone wiring, data network and video/security cabling.
Employing state-of-the-art technology, VDV II offers functionality not previously available in a wiremapper. The advanced wiremap engine accurately displays complex wiring faults instantaneously whilst TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) aids troubleshooting and improves on-site productivity.

Accuracy
The flagship VDV II Pro cable verifier utilises TDR to accurately measure cable length and provide distance to fault information. TDR’s work by injecting a signal into the cable and measuring the time for any signal to be reflected back after encountering changes in impedance caused by cable damage, open and short circuits. The recorded time is then translated into an accurate distance measurement. TDR helps to pinpoint where cabling faults occur. This speeds up fault finding as well as minimising disruption and potential damage to fixtures and fixings.
Speed
With comprehensive details on faults such as opens, shorts, crossovers and split pairs, VDV II identifies wiring errors instantly. The integrated RJ-11/RJ-12 (voice), RJ-45 (data) and coax F-Type (video) connectors allow faster testing of most types of low-voltage cables by eliminating the need for separate testers or adapters.
Intelligence
Connection issues are not always associated with cable faults, so VDV II Pro has the capability to help identify service related issues. By detecting the presence of voltage and checking polarity, VDV II Pro quickly determines which media service is running over the cable, such as ISDN, PBX and PoE (Power over Ethernet) resulting in faster fault diagnosis. Troubleshooting active Ethernet networks is also made easier with in-built network detection that displays network rate and duplex information. Furthermore, to prevent potentially costly damage to the tester all VDV II’s are smart enough to know when they have been plugged into an outlet where voltage is present.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can VDV II cable verifier series test Cat5e/6/6A/7 cables?Yes VDV II can test the wiring of all common cable categories as well as Coaxial and telephone cables.
- What is the maximum length of data cable VDV II series can test?300m (980ft) for wiremap and 600m (1960ft) for overall length.
- Can VDV II series generate reports?The new VDV II Series eliminates guesswork and documents proper operation when installing, maintaining and troubleshooting data, voice and video cabling. Test results are stored in real-time on the free AnyWARE mobile app and are seamlessly uploaded to AnyWARE Cloud where professional PDF reports are generated. Historically, reporting could not be obtained with affordable wiremappers. VDV II has changed the game with Cloud connectivity across the full range.
- Do I need special patch cables to perform testing?No, generic good quality patch cords can be used for testing.
- What battery does the VDV II series use?VDV II series use standard 9v batteries.
- Q: How many remotes can the VDV II series use?A: 12 Remotes for wiremap and 24 port identifiers.
- Q: What is a port identifier?A: Port identifiers provide a ports number on the screen of a VDV II allowing for correct labelling of ports.
- Q: Is the VDV II series safe against voltage overload?A: Yes the VDV II series can withstand common PoE voltages and is protected up to 60v.
- Q: Can VDV II PRO detect Gigabit speeds?A: Yes, 1 Gb/s.
- Q: Is there any technical support available?A: Yes, we include comprehensive manuals with every VDV II and if you need further assistance we have the following technical hot lines: France: +33(0)169355471, Germany: +49(0)8999686200, UK: +44(0)1925444446
