SIMPLE and EASY cable tester
By Clark Kent
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.

By Alexander Chukhlebov
I bought this instead of fluke microscanner2 to save money. I've used microscanner before and it's a good product, this one does the same thing, except it's analog, can't measure wire length, does not present digital wiring diagram (which pin goes where), and has a weak tone function. But basically it's the same thing, only less cooler. I really liked the price, 89, even though it's a bit higher than others in this category, it's nowhere near 500 for microscanner2, and it can do pretty much the same exact thing, minus two functions you don't really need.I think this is a good and a must have tool for computer guy if you focused on software and hardware, and don't do heavy network installs. If you do network installs I suggest you spend money for the heavy priced fluke, there is a saying you get what you pay for.

A Bit Expensive But Works Really Well.
By miketheman
We purchased this lan tester to check a bunch of cable cuts from 1,000ft of cat5e cable. It detected several bad cuts of the cable where the actual bulk cable had factory defects. If it wasn't for this little cable tester we would have installed bad sections of these cables. The tool test individual pairs as well as the entire cable. The leds are bright enough to see but the writing with the black and orange is a bit difficult to see when the leds are on. This really isn't a big deal if you use the tester a few times you'll remember what the leds are for. The power saving feature is a bit of a pain since it shuts down the tester after a few seconds. It would have been perfect if you could have disabled this feature manually but then again it's really not a big problem either. We had a long cable run that kept giving us intermittent problems and we changed the cable twice and still got the same problems .. this tester helped us realized that our crimping tool was not doing a good job and needed to be replaced. It's a bit high priced in comparison to other testers but it does a really good job. We don't know how long the tool will last in terms of durability so we'll have to re-post here to let you know if and when it does fail.
