Platinum Tools debuted this week the new Coax Clarifier layout/fault finder, which the company says determines individual run quality as well as the ability of the overall system’s capability to deliver good quality video for high definition levels. With a backlit LCD, the Coax Clarifier shows loss levels on each coax cable run and displays a bar graph of quality for each. The Coax Clarifier uses inexpensive wiremap remotes that allow the technician to singlehandedly “map” an entire system easily and quickly including cable length measurements, signal quality measurements and wiremapping — all in one tester.

The Coax Clarifier offers the ability to measure cable lengths up to 1,500 feet (457 meters), has four unique tones to distinguish between respective outlets, wiremaps up to 12 coax locations, is battery operated and list for $379.
