Klein Tools VDV770-851 Remote Expansion Kit #7-12

Klein Tools VDV770-851 Remote Expansion Kit

This Klein Tools VDV770-851 kit adds six smart remotes numbered 7 through 12 to a Scout Pro 3 tester. It is built for technicians who need to test voice, data and coaxial connections across more locations in a single job. The remotes and included jumper cables let you map and identify cables at wall outlets without returning to the main unit. The kit includes coax adapters and a zipper bag for organisation on site.

Thermals noise and power draw

The remotes are passive devices that draw no power and produce no heat or noise during operation. They connect to the Scout Pro 3 tester which supplies all measurement energy. Soft overmold grips and recessed jacks protect the hardware from drops and debris in normal field use. No active cooling or external power supply is required for the expansion kit itself.

Upgrade path and when it matters

This kit expands an existing Scout Pro 3 setup from six to twelve test locations, cutting multi-run mapping time by half. It is not for users who do not already own the Scout Pro 3 tester, as the remotes cannot function alone. Buyers who need more than twelve simultaneous mapping points will need additional expansion kits beyond the #7-12 range. The jump is worth it when crew efficiency on larger installs outweighs the cost of extra remotes.
