Review: Good device to have in the toolbox! - The device worked as promised and was easy to use.
Review: Well performing testing tool. - It might not have the color scheme and the "feel" quality of other higher end products... but it sure performs very well. I put it to use to trace a line as well as test a marginal cable as soon as the unit arrived. It delivered on all fronts. It sure combines many capabilities in one reasonably priced tool I am glad I purchased it and have it at my disposal

## Features

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for home/DIY use
*by M***K on December 23, 2025*

For the price, this is a useful tool. I got it to do a home/DIY job – wiring an ethernet backhaul for a Wi-Fi mesh router system, using existing CAT 5e cables configured for voice connections. It worked well for my use. I don’t do many reviews, but it seems a few people give low reviews for incorrect and/or unrealistic expectations. So, I felt compelled to respond. Also, this is not a paid review. Here’s what I experienced … Scan Testing – I used the ‘analog’ mode to trace my phone cable input out to the demarc (signal input from the phone company). The manual spec says this works up to 600 meters. My test was about 30-40 meters, and it worked … I did find that I had to untwist the white/green + green wire pair at the far end, to pick up the tone. (This helps couple the signal on the wires to the probe tip). I also used it to locate cable runs from multiple rooms back to the telecom/media box – about 9 to 22 meters (10 meters = 32 ft). A few reviewers said this function doesn’t work … that wasn’t my experience. I will say the sensitivity is not as good as a better tool I previously borrowed … under the same conditions, I could locate the demarc wire pair with the better tool, without untwisting it. That tool cost was about $100. Also, at least one reviewer said the unit had an auto-off feature which prevented him/her from setting up the tone generation at one end, and probing for the tone at the far end … it turned off by the time they got to the other end. BUT … there is a setting to adjust the auto-off time, or to disable it altogether! So “just read the manual”! Probe ‘NCV’ Test (sense high voltage presence on AC wiring) – that works. Length Testing – I checked one 3.0 meter (10 ft) ethernet cable, and two connected in series. The spec says 2.5 to 200 meters +/-1.6 meters. One measured 3.9 meters (in spec), two measured 7.9 meters (just out of spec). Second example - I had ‘punched down’ an RJ45 jack in the telecom/media box, and used this check the cable length (i.e., were my IDC connections good at my end?). The far cable end was unterminated, and I measured 20 meters on 3 pairs, and 0 meters for one pair – in other words, one connection at my end was bad. So, I removed and re-punched down that pair, and measured 20 meters on everything. Very handy! Continuity Testing – Once I had terminated all the connections in the telecom/media box, I went on to terminate the cables at the electrical box/wall plate ends. I first re-tested using the scan test to make sure I was working on the correct cable (some boxes had two cables coming in to one box). I then terminated that cable, and ran the continuity test – perfect (no opens, no crossed pairs). I then used a patch cable to connect two rooms, and ran the continuity test – all good. I did not use the POE test. I did check the Port Flash & Switch Details test – that worked. In summary, the analog sensitivity could be a little better, but was serviceable. And the length measurement was a little off, but still useful. If you want a professional tool, go ahead and spend the big bucks. But for a home/DIY job, it works pretty well.
