Please log in for more thread options Hi, I want to purchase a used instrument for testing the quality of Cat5e and Cat6 cabling along with distance measurement to any shorts or open circuits. Which model should I look for, what gives me most functionality and quality for the bucks. I'm thinking of around USD 500-1000 on eBay Thanks for comments and hints Chris | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Here's a pretty impressive little tester that we use to verify patch cables for re-use. It's no $5k Fluke, but it has a remarkable feature set. It might do what you want -- for about $500 from telecomparts.com. http://www.bytebrothers.com/bb_tester/RWC1000.htm -Unk | ||||||||||||||||||||||
