paid for itself in 60 seconds
By JE
this device will find lines that are connected to a live data port. The environment I work in has several "layers" of cabling that are not labeled well. After two visits and unsuccessful searching for a specific live ethernet port using an analog toning device and by physical search, this device was walked by two potential closets and used to single out the missing line very quickly, it is sensitive enough to detect signal from several feet away and only signals the highest level when it is within an inch of the cable being tested. it is very consistent and has paid for itself several times over when lines were difficult to locate. our cabling contractor does not like it as it reduces the amount of billable research needed sometimes.

By Joseph F. Cotter Jr.
This is a great tool to save time when searching for 1 cat 5 line in a bundle of a few hundred. You can also test the line with this tool which is a nice feature as well. These are the only two features I bought this item for, but it does a lot more.

Works well but has learning curve
By W. Hoskins
I've been using this to troubleshoot new and installed network cable problems and it has been very useful as other reviews report. A couple things have been a pain. The lack of documentation is a problem especially for what the leds mean. For instance I hooked up to a live cat5 cable in the service mode and instead of getting either the green or red indicator in the "network activity indicator" to indicate which pins were active, I got both green and red at same time. Go figure...Also I wonder if the results change if the batteries start to get low or if results are consistent until low bat is indicated. I tried the cable map on a long cable (floor to 14ft ceiling, across maybe 150 feet of Bed Bath and Beyond store then to floor patch panel) and even though the cable showed continuity ( another convenient feature ) I got zero reading from cable map feature.A bigger problem when toning is bleed over into other cables. Even on the lower sensitivity I'm getting readings off 2 or more cables at a patch panel. The cable with the strongest signal didn't wasn't the one I was looking for. Is the signal bleeding because of very tight bundles? I had a chilling revelation when I tried different scenarios back at the shop. I discovered that the toner will actually travel through at least 2 switches. In other words, a patch cable connected to the toner then to a small switch, patch cable to another switch, can find the tone in several ports of second switch. Seems to be a feed back of some sort. So if I'm toning an active line to a patch panel and the jack is patched into a switch ( like a Cisco or whatever ) is the toner feeding back through other ports on the switch back to the patch panel and showing on many patch ports and cables? I don't know. Maybe it's a battery issue.I still love the unit. I was using a Pallidan toner and map earlier and this is much better, faster.
