easy and accurate

Work exactly like I hoped it would!

This saved me so much time while installing network cameras, I was putting RJ45 ends on myself and this tester helped make quick work of testing the cable and making sure the pin out was correct. Kept me from having to troubleshooting problems to see if it was the camera, the cable or the way the ends were wired. Good purchase.

Bought this to help rewire my house with ethernet cables, but I wish I had bought it sooner just to check patch cables. This product is extremely easy to use, but it is well worth the money for troubleshooting network connectivity problems or even piece of mind. Flip the switch and if all the lights show (in succession) then the cable is good to go. This product has saved me hours of troubleshooting. When my son's computer was experiencing intermittent connectivity I was able to rule out the cables in the wall and the patch cable as the root cause, and focus on the computer hardware and settings. Similarly, I was able to narrow down a different issue to a bad cable rather than replacing network hardware. Sure this device really does only one thing, but it does it extremely well and is the perfect tool to have ready for when you need it most. Note build quality is nothing spectacular, but for a plastic device it is solidly made. The included cables are very heavy duty and great quality. Overall a great purchase.

I used these to test the ethernet wiring in my new home.One thing that may throw you is that it is normal for no lights to show on the transmitter if the receiver is not connected. Other devices like this that I have tried do not have this feature.

The product is intended for GO NO GO evaluations of wire runs and is not designed to stress any of the conductors being evaluated--only to detect solid faults--but not those that might be intermittent. As such, it does a very good job as a basic tester, and I have used it quite often and have detected solid faults, be they open or short circuits, which proved very helpful. There are more sophisticated testers available at a higher cost, but for basic diagnosis, this unit does a very good job.

I just moved into a new house with plugs in almost every room (cat-5e and coax). This device is easy to use and helped me find the correct lines at the main junction box. Many of the lines were not marked correctly to start with, but now are. Great tool!

We just had a house built and the contractor that installed the cabling did not know what they were doing. Some cable ends were wired in reverse, some had wires flipped, and and there were more landline outlets than network. Who uses landlines? This cable tester let me know exactly which wires were in the wrong location and test the phone jack connections after I rewired them for network.Easy to use and easy to decipher the lights. I had one where the 7 8 wires were flipped. With my eyesight seeing the difference was not easy. With the lights on the device it was a breeze to see.The way they store with one sliding into the other is really nice.Highly recommended.

Was redoing my attic network cabling and adding cables for cameras/video surveillance. Could have paid almost same amount for prefab cables or a 500' spool to make my own cables. So glad I did and this tool quickly confirms proper connector connections at each end, even if the 2 ends are separated by a long distance. Worked perfectly! Seemed to be other similar products at less cost but no question this was a great time saving and accurate purchase! The vendor sounded more reputable than some of the others.

Best product for the money.

Need this tool for an already installed Cat6 cable that wasn't working right. It showed that one of the lines was not properly installed, I redid the ends, it showed that they were now all continuous and the cable works

When my big box store tester ($100) I selected this as a replacement. Inexpensive, uses inexpensive batteries, quick and easy to use.

Needed a tester for home network. It will only do one channel at a time. The ones the Telco use will typically do 8 lines at a time. While functional, it is a bit slower to use. But for home use, this is typically not a problem. If you are a professional installer or repair tech, you'll probably want to a unit with more functionality.meaning you'll need to pay more. Time is Money

I have bought a few of these before, and this was one of the best. They all pretty much work the same as others do. But this was so well packaged, and had a few things like ethernet plugs in the terminals, small test cables, and nice case that made this feel premium. Even though it is in the same price point as most others.

The Tempo Communications network cable tester was the perfect addition to my tool bag. It is easy to use and very accurate. I would highly recommend it.

The device only tests continuity. I had cables running through an enclosure that had been disconnected and difficult to trace. It was easy to verify which cable went to which wall socket. However there was a connector strip in the enclosure that was not allowing signals to pass through. I used an ethernet switch to diagnose that problem. You could chase continuity problems with a DMM, but the device automatically checks and confirms each connection. Great little product for the home or hobbyist.

Does exactly what I needed it for and I have no complaints

liked, tracing internet cable

easy to setup adn see the basic status of the cable

As someone who has had to troubleshoot my network only to find the cause was that I terminated a cable poorly, I now check all my cables with this handy device and prevent a lot of frustration.
