Sparky, your a true technician, you can tell by your tools and your troubleshooting skills are A-1, thank you for a good and helpful video.
I love these troubleshooting videos. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Ken! Have a great day!
Great video 👌 That looks like a great tool to have for tracing cable lines 👍
Definitely! Thanks!
Good video Sparky.
Thanks Gary! Have a great day!
Thank you for an easy to understand video.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks Jerry!
Thanks for your videos 👍🏼 very convenient.
Thanks Jose!
I thought the customers cables are suppose to be label so the technician knows which cable goes to the customer that is having problems? MMM I guess different company's have different procedures. Great Instructional video thought I like that tester too! :) Cool tech
You are correct, the lines should be labeled. Thanks!
Another good vid and product Wild Bill ... Have a great weekend ...
Thanks Eddy! You have a great one as well!
Sparky is the best !!!
You made my day!
@Sparky Channel. Thanks Bill for making this troubleshooting video. Question. Do you prefer this Ideal VDV tester or the Klein Scout Pro 3? Just got the Scout Pro 3 based on your review. Like that it has 4 coax and RJ45 test channels and a TDR function for locating breaks or cable lengths.
Hope you and your family stay safe and well.
I really like the TDR function for locating breaks and cable lengths. That's an exceptional feature. The IDEAL is very professional model so you can't go wrong with either. Thanks!
Couldn't you have just measured the resistance on each cable back at the splitter from center conductor to the shield? The unused (open) cable would have read much differently than the connected cables.
Perhaps, I'll have to try that. Thanks!
It should be grounded to a ground block
So when you say the cable going to the bedroom is dead, (the one you checked with the ideal tester) is it not being used? or is that line going to be removed, just curious keep up the great videos.
I just marked it as unused and left it there. Perhaps it will be needed in the future.
I noticed you're using a wrench to loosen the cables, why not the Ideal coax screwdriver ?
(Also, I made that video of the magnetic 11in1. Mine works perfectly. I'll upload it today.)
Wrenches are cheap and everyone has wrenches. Most cable techs I've watched use wrenches (as have I). I've ran into situations where the person before me tightened the connectors so tight it was tough to crack them loose even with small wrenches. :-)
@@eosjoe565 it's the Ideal 35-046 tool that I'm referring to. 🙂
@@Sparky-2036 I am familiar with it. It looks like a nice tool but I've never seen anyone use it.
Hi you guys!
@@SparkyChannel Hey Bill. My magnetic 11in1 video is up for you.
Does it check for quality of the cable?
No. It's just checking for a shot or for identification
I have a question. Where did u find the bunch of coax cables?
That's just the way that Cox cable left them. :)
@@SparkyChannel ok cause I’m trying to move my WiFi router somewhere else except it’s not activated 😕
Hello Bill, can u do a video about how to run wires behind drywall and to troubleshoot gfci and receptacle
I'm working on a video about GFCI's right now and hope to have it up Sunday. Thanks!
Sparky Channel thank u Bill u the man
👍
Thanks Theo!
I need a new toner, and a new mapper 😒. Tired of using my amps to find lines
I hear that!
☕🍩
Cheers with beer and donuts!
