Great, affordable tester does more than you would expect

This tester does everything and more that the other testers out there do, from what I have read. The interface boots up quickly, is quick and responsive, and easy to use. For less than 1/4 the price, this is an outstanding value and will be used frequently. The only con is that it has 3 RJ-45 Ethernet ports on it, used for different types of testing, and though the manual tells you which ports to use (mostly), it would be nice if the interface would instruct you on which port to use. Once you get used to it, it will become second nature. I also wish it clearly stated what each RJ-45 port was for, and what you can and cannot do with it. It tests: wiring, with a graphical map, including connections if it is connected to a switch or device. Length Crosstalk (I have not tested this but the manual states it will) POE voltage on each pin DHCP/Ping Toning including 120v detection to any wire with power on it, toning seems quite good, tested it while connected to a POE switch and it worked fine Flashes switch ports It appears that all RJ-45 ports can be connected to a live switch even with POE. However, the tester shut down when I plugged the RJ-11 port into a live phone line and I had to hook it up to a charger to reset it to get it to power back on Nice clear color screen I did not test creating reports yet You can even test the length of any cable using the included alligator clips. Supposedly you can test for a cable break or short in any wire/cable. I am currently trying to figure out if it can help me test for bad Christmas light bulbs but have had no luck with LED strands. This thing really seems to do it all (except to actually certify data integrity over the cables). Comes in a pretty nice zippered case with all the ID testers and a charger for the rechargeable batteries in both the tester and toner- no more dead 9v batteries. One thing this does not do that the yellow brand does is have a wire map tester right on the toner and auto-switchover to that. Meh. I'll take more functionality and more cash in my pocket with this one. Overall, it's not quite as user-friendly as some others may be but this one does seem to do it all for an outstanding price.

GREAT PRODUCT~!

EASY TO USE. NEED TO COMPLETELY CHARGE THE UNITS "BEFORE" USE, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. (NON REPLACEABLE BATTERIES, NOT AA OR (VOLT TYPE) SO KEEP THE UNITS CHARGED AT ALL TIMES BEFORE USE. EASY TO UTILIZE AS A "ONE MAN" TESTING PROCESS...NICE CASE IS SUPPLIED WITH THE UNITS.

This is the best tester for the money

I have used this quite a bit and it has worked perfectly. i have tested entire office cabling jobs and it makes it so much easier to test by yourself. Other IT guys have gone out and bought the same one when they used mine.

Great Product

It has worked perfectly and its very complete. Have used it to test all network cables making sure all runs good.

A+++

More useful than $2,000 tester.

Useful tool for a fracture of the money

Everything is good but not great due to toner probe being way too sensitive. Otherwise good bang for your buck

Phenomenal value, questionable durability, all the functions you need...

Surprisingly functional for a fraction of the Fluke's cost. Where as the Fluke will perform most tests through a single RJ45 port, this unit requires moving the cable between 3 different ports depending on the test (e.g. length, mapping, ping or POE validation). The LCD is high-res and clear. The length calibration is a bit bothersome, but is accurate after following the instructions. Having 8 port maps that actually so discreetly on the mapping function of the tester is outstanding. The toner is very sensitive and worked well on a set of 150m cables. There is a small worry about the charging / battery that is embedded in the tester and the tone probe. The unit is light and made out of cheap plastic. Who knows how long this will last... But for the price, the value cannot be beat.
