Extech CT100 Network Cable Tester

I've had my share of hard-wired cat 5e network issues and always had to resort to the old "swap the cable" tactic to find out if a cable is bad. Recently I had another issue and my current network is on a 8-port router with a 5 port switch. The internet was slowing terribly and swapping out 50 foot long cables was not practical. I bought this tool and will never go backwards again! All my cables tested fine. My router had taken a dump...Our local Lowe's had a tester that looks exactly like this Extech and they had it priced at $59. Needless to say this Extech was a lot cheaper and even had free shipping!This is not my first Extech purchase so my previous experience definitley help me make the choice of what label to buy. I was not wrong. You can't go wrong with the price and features of this tester! Buy one, you'll be glad you did.

I'm pretty experienced at making cables, but some times, when you look at the colors, they look good, but they aren't correct. For years I just relied on my abilities, but now I rely on a network cable tester. It works as advertized, and I would recommend it for anyone that makes their share of cables.

I don't care for the slow pace of the test, it routes through each pair one by one as you wait for it. The switch is a hinderance as well, especially for those with failed memories.

Read many reviews, some of the fine print was important.Very good quality, and works fine. Am shocked at howmany prefabbed cables are defective, this tool will savehours of post installation trouble shooting.

Great product and experienceThese mod taps / etwork cable testers were exactly what I was expecting and great quality sure to last a long time

I was able to use this one time before it stopped working. It was easy to return though. I can't recommend this item

This product is cheaply made and does not function properly. JUNK is all that it is, don't buy it, waste of money

Tested wire well

Thanks
