    Pros:
    It' very cheap and small, easy to carry anywhere. His funcionality is very simple and understandable. It have a ring to use it like a keychain. It's good to test long cables because you have two points where look the conectivity and if the cable is fine.

    posted by ocsic on 10/24/2010 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    It is a relatively nice, small, low cost tool and it can be separated to two parts! It works as expected, helped a lot for detecting a cable brakes in my home network. The tester is working on telephone (RJ11) and the network (RJ45) cables to.
    Cons:
    The tool don't have a speed switch for slow and fast detecting/testing! It's a little big for the "Keychain", but who...

    Simple, Cheap & Effective

    posted by Krizalid on 09/06/2010 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    It works as advertised, helped me determine a bum cable in my network, is compact and is exceptionally low-priced.
    Cons:
    Simple cheap design - Certainly won't replace a professional tester in your toolkit, but is handy to have as a backup.

    Simple but useful

    - It's small and light - Has a detachable "terminator" It can test RJ45 - UTP and RJ11 - telephone cables/connectors. Usage couldn't be simpler, just plug in both sides of the cable press the button an watch the blinking lights.
    Cons:
    To use the terminator you have to be in the same room or you can't see the results. The lights flash if they connect, but you d...
