This is an excellent little cable tester for field techs who install LAN and coax cabling. It\’s simple – no fancy bells and whistles that aren\’t needed. Unit is small, rugged, and easy to spot in my toolbox. Metal belt clips on each unit are handy. Green/red/orange LED lights quickly show if the Ethernet 1/2, 3/6, 4/5, and 7/8 cable pairs are open, shorted, failed, crossed-over, or split. Will also confirm if your LAN cable is properly shielded. LED lights on both ends is nice feature. Auto-OFF feature saves battery. Basic coax testing for checking if connectors are properly seated. Not cheap, but a good tool for the money.

I love this thing. After too many experiences troubleshooting phantom errors that were just the inevitable bad crimp job, I bought this.With this, you can run your CAT6 unterminated to get the perfect length, terminate one end and connect the slave tester. Cut the other end to length and terminate and then test. Depending on the specific error it gives you, you can reterminate or just give the crimper a tighter squeeze.If you\’re doing advanced stuff and a plain pass/fail will not do, it even tells you which pairs are off, cross, open, short, split.Explain to your company that this thing will pay for itself with the first bad connection that it catches (depending on your bill rate)It even does coax and comes with a bunch of dongles for easy hookup.Thoughts:You don\’t need the optional case, since this has clips, you\’ll just clip it to your bag and be done with it.I wish that it would test to see your top bandwidth over the line or something, but that\’s way pricey tech.It should come with the 568-A and 568-B diagrams printed on the unit somewhere, but doesn\’t. Make your own from a mailing label and stick it on.
