Review: A must have for someone that makes their own ethernet cables - This is a must have for someone that makes their own ethernet cables. I put up a security system for a friend and the next day he called and said that one of the cameras stopped working. Wea had ran the cables through a wall so replacing the cable would have been a pain in the ass. I was able to use this to determine the cable was not the problem. We were able to track the problem down without wondering if it was the cable I made. This saved us so much time and the price was great. It's so easy to use and I will be using this every time now before I install the cables.
Review: Works fine. - Works well. Not much else to say. Helped me to find out which Ethernet port in my house was connected to which wire in the network box.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must have for someone that makes their own ethernet cables
*by T***S on May 26, 2025*

This is a must have for someone that makes their own ethernet cables. I put up a security system for a friend and the next day he called and said that one of the cameras stopped working. Wea had ran the cables through a wall so replacing the cable would have been a pain in the ass. I was able to use this to determine the cable was not the problem.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works fine.
*by S***R on November 23, 2025*

Works well. Not much else to say. Helped me to find out which Ethernet port in my house was connected to which wire in the network box.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works, but a bit fussy about the battery
*by J***. on November 6, 2024*

When I first received the tester and installed a battery, it would not work on known good cables. I was about to return it when I decided that maybe the battery was a little low, so I connected to a bench power supply and it worked. It didn't like my rechargeable NiMH 9v battery. NiMH 9 volt batteries have a charged voltage of 7.2 or 8.4 volts. I didn't test mine, but I had just charged it prior to putting it in the tester. So now I know that the battery has to be a regular alkaline battery in tip top condition for this tester. So I cancelled my return and revised my rating from 1-star DOA to 4 - it seems a good tester for a low price device, if you use a good battery.
