I’ve tested several Ethernet cables with this tool, and it’s been extremely accurate. It’s easy to use, sturdy, and gives clear results. Really helpful for quick diagnostics.

works GREAT!! Help me find and fix several bad crimps.

I like a good fixed function simple tool that doesn't overcomplicate things. This tool is pretty good, but it basically just gives you pass/fail , it doesn't tell you anything about what is wrong. Perhaps the worst example of this is if you mix T568A and T568B it just tells you "miswire" , the same generic failure as all other miswirings. Some other ethernet testers will tell you cross over or even tell you exactly which wires are not correct.

Great easy to use cable tester. Solid brand. Easy to use. Tests the cables to ensure their functional.

Very good for the budget minded.

This simple tester lasted me 4 solid years and hundreds of tests on a single 9V battery. I had to replace after a super-5 minute downpour in Chicago soaked it (along with a few other items) while I was up in a boom lift at 50 feet. After it dried out it constantly read "miswire" on all my crimps even though they were good. Didn't hesitate to purchase another one... next time I'll make sure my dry bag is zipped up!
