Hi,
Well we've just finished up wiring the house and i wanted to know which are the best tools required to perform these certain tasks below:
1) First up I would like to be able to pin point from the node zero cupboard where the terminating coaxial cable is coming from, i.e. i have 20 or so coaxial cables ending in the cupboard coming from bedrooms and living rooms etc. I think i need somthing that utilises coaxial or bnc adapters which plug into the F socket in one of the rooms and then at the other end you pretty much by trial and error test out each terminating cable.
It would be nice if there were different plug in modules, for instance numbered ones 1 to 8 (which i presume carry different resistances) so then i could plug in 8 adapters at once and then match them up in the cupboard usinjg a special meter without having to check one by one and then go back and move the adapter.
I would like a system that can do the same for LAN, it would be nice if all it required was a coax to lan adapter.
2) Secondly i require some sort of snap n seal type tool to create coax patch cables, is there one someone can recommend? It seems Thomas and Betts tools are very US centric and hard to come by here, what is our UK equivalent?
it would also be nice is the meter/reader could also check overall performance of the cables being checked.
Many Thanks
