RJ45 Cable Tester Network Cable Tester Ethernet Wire Test Tool for LAN Phone RJ45 RJ11 RJ12 Cat5 Cat5e Cat6 Cat6a Cat7 UTP/Shield Cable

Worked as described. Was able to locate and test an ethernet cable.

Suddenly my router stopped working...fortunately with this tool I could identify it was the wired connection that was at fault instead of replacing the router I was able to replace the wires connection...all set. What an inexpensive & helpful fix. This is easy to use, points the IT sleuth in the right direction, & saves time & money. Also compact & solidly made. Stores easily. Great tool.

I've had a network cable tester for years that is built like a tank, but lacks the remote feature this one had. I had a network jack in the house that wasn't working and needed a tester with a remote to find the fault or else resort to trial and error fixes. This tool quickly identified the issue and I was able to quickly fix the problem. If that was the only time I use it, it still paid for itself in the time savings. This one isn't built like a tank, but the price is right and it got the job done. The network connectors were a nice bonus.

I bought this because I have 6 Ethernet cables that run under my house between 2 rooms and I needed an easy way to tell which Ethernet cable ends matched up. It turns out this thing helped in another way! After I labeled all the cables using this tester, I ran one more cable to connect a brand new router and satellite unit. Since that cable was a different color, I didn't need to use this tester. The main unit would not recognize that the satellite unit was plugged in. I thought the router might be bad and was ready to box it back up. Then I thought, this tester might tell me if the cable is bad. So I connected it up and it was! The brand new cable was faulty. This thing saved me a lot of time troubleshooting and potentially having returned my new router setup.

Summary: Replacing a previous unit I purchased at CompUSA 25+ years ago for 3x more money. Gave up wiggling the old one to get it to send a signal down the cable. Combine that with the only having LED's on one side I had to always run back and forth between the devices to make sure things were working- total pain. Broke down and got this one, what a great purchase. Packaging, excellent. Not over packaged, little waste, all can be recycled. 5 stars. Design: Simple, clean. 5 stars. Case: Honestly, I appreciate there is not one, I have the case from my old tester which is the same size, much less so many other cases over the years. Less waste as its unneeded. 5 stars. Functions: Works well, clear indicators. The only comment I make is that the S isn't Slow as you will see in my video per the documentation. S is "Speedy". 4.5 stars. Ease of Use: Simple. 5 stars. Overall, I'm really happy with this product and wish I had gotten it sooner. The 'Speedy' functionality + LED's on both sides are a life enhancing feature for me. I used a bad cable in the included video to show something different than a good cable pattern like in most videos. You can also see that changing it to S isn't Slow, it's Speedy.

Still works. Still making Cat 6 connections.

Does not work as described - heaply made and faulty

Iperf wasn't working, panic was setting in. After running cable 40 feet above ground with multiple wall penetrations the panic was setting in... But the tester was reporting 8 green lights.... Turns out a patch cable was dead. I didn't test the patch cables running to the laptops. I avoided a lot of hassle and stress by having this at my disposal to debug each cable, one at a time physically. Don't get me wrong, I would love a $300 tester to check signal strength beyond a binary on/off connection. But you would be kinda stupid to not at least have this for like $15.

Cumple su función y la relación calidad/precio es buena.
