Coax/Data/Tone Tester
Xcelite, a CooperTools brand, introduced the DataCom CDD1B Coax/Data/Tone Tester that can test unshielded telephone cable with RJ-11 and RJ-45 connectors, as well as coax cable, so you don’t need two types of tester. Also, a mapping function can locate up to seven lines at a time, testing conditions before or after installation. All for a suggested price of $180. Available through Xcelite dealers. More information can be found at www.coopertools.com.

ECG Snap Leads
Bioconnect, a division of RF Industries, introduced a new ECG Snap Lead with Santoprene TPE insulation, which is impervious to most hospital cleaning agents, and 65-strand conductors for increased flexibility and long life. Unique flex-relief design and screw-machined cage jacks with beryllium copper spring contacts give reliable connections. The leads are compatible with all DIN safety-type ECG cables.
