SYCAMORE, ILL<\/b>. \u2013<\/b>IDEAL Electrical, known for its premium wire connectors and electrical tools\/supplies, is ready for the next wave of smart home and connected technology demands. The smart home control and connectivity market<\/a> is expected to grow 11.11% annually through 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To meet this growing market, IDEAL launches three new data\/video testers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowing the demand for smart home projects is rising, but consumers are price-conscious, IDEAL launches a new RJ45 Data Wiremapper product (SKU 33-855), Tone & Probe (SKU 62-144) and Coax Mapper (SKU 62-201), which will simplify data and video testing and be sold at an affordable price point that makes sense for low voltage installers, professional electricians and even DIYers who need to conduct complicated tests and troubleshooting of data and video installations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"\"\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t
\n\t\t\n\n

These three new data and video testers from IDEAL Electrical will allow for quick and effective tests of video and data systems. These products are available now at The Home Depot.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re confident these new testers will meet the needs of those installing, verifying, and troubleshooting data and video systems,\u201d IDEAL Electrical General Manager Carmen Cardillo noted. \u201cWe know what electricians and low-voltage installers need in a tester better than anyone \u2013 because electrical is all that we do. We\u2019re 100% committed to making sure we know what the market needs and that we make the best electrical products available.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issues That Can Be Detected with the Wiremapper, Tone and Probe, Coax Mapper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What Can the Wiremap Detect?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The IDEAL Electrical\u2122 Wiremapper verifies correct wiring of low voltage and data communication cables. The wiremap test visually shows, pin-by-pin, whether RJ45 connectors are terminated correctly at both ends and if there is continuity from end to end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Tests data\/ethernet cable \u2013 Cat5\/5e\/6\/6a<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Verifies RJ45 connector continuity<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • LCD screen displays PASS or ERROR and troubleshoots by pin for: shorts, opens, miswires, reversals, and split pairs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n

    What Is the Use of a Tone & Probe?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The IDEAL Electrical\u2122 Tone and Probe Kit for data cable allows for tracing de-energized low-voltage and data cable using an audible tone to detect and determine where the cable is located. This allows the technician to locate data cable without having to unplug systems or conduct time-consuming tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Kit contains tone generator, probe, alligator clips, and batteries<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Single tone setting and adjustable volume<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Modern unit allows for quick mastery<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n

      What Is a Coax Mapper?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      The IDEAL Electrical\u2122 Coax Mapper verifies and maps coaxial cable in an easy-to-use device. With four color-coded remotes, the device can test and map up to four F-connector coax cables and uses LED\u2019s to display PASS, OPEN, or SHORT. It can also identify the cable\/remote location<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Compact kit includes the mapping device, four test remotes, F adapter and batteries<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Modern unit allows for quick mastery<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
