Kurth Electronic KE801 Fibre and Copper Cable Finder Kit

The Kurth Electronic KE801 Kit, which includes the EasyTest KE800 and PROBE KE410, is a fibre and copper cable finder that improves speed in the installation and maintenance of multimedia communications cabling.

The EasyTest KE800 instrument can transmit either three continuous tones (solid) or three alternating tones. The Continuity function allows users to check for shorts or opens up to 40 kΩ, visible by a green LED and audible by a resistance depending tone. The instrument can also send the tone into live telephone lines without disturbing services, while overvoltage protection is in any mode up to 500 VAC. It also provides solid Alligator Clips, RJ11 and RJ45 plugs with strain relief and PIN 1+8 protection slots.

The PROBE KE410 is highly sensitive when working from the EasyTest KE300 to identify and trace wires or cables. The double, high and low volume switch, made of high dust and moisture resistant mylar membrane, allows fast operation. It can detect a cable from a distance of up to 100 cm, while the tip, made of carbon fibre, prevents shorts or disturbance of telephone or data lines. The slender design also allows high-precision tracing of pairs, even in bundles or 110/KRONE blocks. An LED filtered green signal strength lights up only if the signal from the toner is detected, while a bright white LED replaces the need for a torch light in dark distribution boxes.

The kit also comes with a belt pouch.
