Ideal Electrical 33-866 Test-Tone-Trace VDV Test Kit, Voice-Data-Video Testers for Basic Testing and Toning Applications of CAT3/5/5e/6/6a Cables and RG59/6/6 Quad,Black

I LOVE this tester. It is invaluable in my job as an IT Field Service technician. It is easy to use in testing a network cable for continuity, and tracing a cable run with the tone generator and toner functions. It makes my job A LOT easier. The equipment is well-built, and the carry case keeps everything together. It is a great value for the money, so I highly recommend it.

Perfect for Network Engineering work.

Worked perfectly for my needs. My house had CAT5 and coax run throughout and to a central patch panel when it was built but the cables were never labeled properly so it was impossible to tell in the panel what was what. Didn't take long with this tool to label everything and verify that all the CAT5 cables were punched down correctly - they weren't. Very handy to have around and comes with everything that you would conceivably need for home wiring of any kind.

Seems rugged and comes with a lot of cables for a variety of tests and a nice case for storage, however for the price I feel it lacks 2 very basic physical features - a rubber flap to cover the ports from dust and debris, and a backlit display - certainly not too much to ask for in a $100+ testing system - if you aren't as picky as I, this won't matter much, but for me it was a deal breaker. I returned it and went with the southwire m300p instead (which also has a mapping feature).

The device is one of the cheapest you can get and it works just great. Even some pros use it as a quick cable tester. I've done IT work for over 23 years and never had a issue with this device.

I have saved so much time using this incredible kit from Ideal that I can not begin to explain all of the ways it has saved me hours of frustrating cable identification and pinout verification. The meter is extremely accurate and I love the ability to place tone easily on a cable which allows me to quickly identify the other end of the cable at another place in the house. I highly recommend this if you do this type of work on a regular basis. Well worth the money.

If you do it work involving cabling you need this. My company gave me one but it is terrible compared to this one. Great for tracing out cables and making sure all wires are connected. Shows feet length. Highly recommend.

Suits my needs perfectly. Mostly my own and families residential work. I was able to tone a wire through the wall with relatively little effort, just as long as the background noise was quiet enough. The coax and cable tester in itself will same you your mind tracking down issues.

Lieferzeit war zwar recht lang (knapp einen Monat) aber die Qualität hat alles ausgeglichen. Der Kontakt ist sehr freundliche und sehr zügig.

Ambos dispositivos funcionan correctamente y el envío fue muy eficiente ya que llegó una semana antes de la fecha límite.
