Pros & Cons

Pros

Network cable tester is very nice. Eventually, your connecting to a live wire is inevitable! This unit works well as a static tester of ethernet cables.

It generates a tone for finding wires and is useful for coax / bnc as well. Came with a zipper carrying case. Usually sits in a drawer in the case it came with.



Cons

Trendnet rma requires you pay for shipping both ways ($40) to replace it. Part is dirt cheap and some shoddy workmanship. Loop back function still works but the remote is junk.

Only used lightly for wiring my house back in 2013. If you plug it in to something that is live you will blow the leds rendering it useless. Would recommend spending extra money for better tester for network cable.

    This is the second one i have bought after some idiot plugged the receiver unit of my first set into a live poe circuit and blew it out


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This unit can only be used with dead disconnected cables and for that it works just fine


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Testing newlyterminated ethernet cables is an unfortunate necessity because things can go wrong when attached the rj45 connectors


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Swapped pairs can happen in the close quarters of the connector


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Worse the feedthrough style connectors i have tried tend to short adjacent terminals when the crimpers blade trims the wires


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    When i use it other techs think that its so fancy
