I've tried the unit having some issues one is the flyer info is very poor and not clear. Other is the software few times does not accept the command forcing me to swith off and start again.

Exactement ce qu'il me fallait pour tester mes. câbles RJ45 sur lesquels j'avais des doutes de fonctionnement. Cela m'a permis entre autre de voir que un de mes certissages n'était pas correct et c'est pourquoi mon point d'accès qui est dans mon jardin ne fonctionnait pas correctement. Et son prix est très bas en plus! Je recommande sans problème!

There seem to be a few very similar testers on the market for roughly the same price. I was able to prove to the electrician that put in my network cable that they had wired the connectors wrongly. Cheap and simple to use.

It doesn't have any features to speak of but if all you're doing is checking cables for correct connection this is perfect. If signal strength and interference are issues you need a different tester.

If you do any ethernet cabling this tester is a must have. So much easier than plugging in a device and hoping it works. Makes identification of cabling much easier as well.

This item is very simple and works very well. The only Improvement that could be made are the instructions are unclear.

The device is Super-simple to use!1) Install a 9V battery2) Connect your "test" cable to the appropriate jacks on the Main UNit and "Remote" unit3) Turn it on. The RED "POWER" LED will start blinking: FAST in the "ON" position, SLOW in the "S" position4) Watch the GREEN LEDs on the Main unit sequence from "1" to "G", then repeat until you turn the Main unit OFF or disconnect the cable. Place the POWER switch in the "S" (Slow) position to better observe the LED sequencing.5) The GREEN LEDs on the "Remote" unit will sequence with the Main unit's LEDs, with the "Remote" LEDs indicating which wires are connected to each other.IDEALLY, one ONE LED on each of the Main and "Remote" units will light in sequence. If NO LED on the "Remote" unit lights for a given Main unit LED, that wire IS NOT CONNECTED between the two points. READ THE INCLUDED DIRECTION SHEET to interpret other "LED 'patterns, etc.'"IMPORTANT: This tool is simply a GO/NOGO, end-to-end "continuity", cable checker (i.e., pin 1 goes to pin 1, pin 2 goes to pin 2, G goes to G, etc.) It ** IS NOT **:1) a "volt meter" - ensure BOTH CABLE ENDS ARE ** UNPLUGGED ** (i.e., Free-Hanging), or you'll risk damaging/destroying the unit!2) a wire "resistance" indicator - it simply indicates the presence/absence of a "conductive path" between each connector pin. Lit LEDs on BOTH units indicate a "conductive" path, UNLIT LED(s) on the "Remote" unit indicate NO "CONDUCTIVE" PATH between the two pins.3) a "data speed" indicator - it does not indicate "data speed" through the cable (i.e., CAT3, CAT 5)4) a "Data Logger" - it WILL NOT "store 'test results'" for later retrieval. If you want to record how the cable is "wired", WRITE DOWN the LED connection data for each wire.The "G" LEDs ** WILL NOT LIGHT ** if there's no "shield" connection between the plugs! "Shielded" (read "Expen$ive") RJ cables will have visible metal "shrouds" on the length of the RJ connectors AND they'll usually be more "rigid" than "Common, Run-Of-The-Mill" RJ cables.Treat this unit like you'd treat any other Measurement Tool. While it does have a degree of "ruggedness", it won't endure "abuse" (i.e., gnawing by a dog, repeated dropping on the floor, "play" by a toddler).UPDATE (8/20/20): I took the unit to work to test a "non-standard" ("Crossover") RJ45 patch cable. THE TESTER CORRECTLY "MAPPED" THE "NON-STANDARD" WIRING OF THE CABLE, PER A MANUAL WIRE LIST i MADE MONTHS AGO. In short, this device is The Real Deal and deserves a place on the bench of every "Wire Tech" out there!

I installed an extensive CAT6 cabling system in my house when we built it in 2002, over time some of my terminations fail, or I use untested runs. I had another brand of network cable tester before this one that seemed fine, but failed in less than a year.The KOLSOL tester had good reviews so I gave it a try. I can say that for the six months or so that I’ve owned it, all works well. Cables and runs are easy to test, and when the cable reports all lines correct I get Gig speed (it’s also found an occasional cross wire termination error). I’ve even tested some outdoor CAT7 runs with ground and the tester works well there too.Works well, No problems, Would recommend and buy again.

It works and is inexpensive. It even worked with a 9-volt battery that only has 7.7 volts or so.I don't know how durable it will be - only used it a few times on a few cables, but it was indespensible for that use (checking a cable in a wall).

Unit works very well consistently, unlike 1 other brand that was a dismal failure. This unit allowed me to determine the success of installation of 5 cables over a total length of 300 ft. Good value up to this point

I had my doubts when I purchased this but I’m pleased to say it works exactly as expected. No it doesn’t have any fancy bells and whistles, but if all you are looking to do is confirm that you have connectivity on all the wires then for the price this is definitely worth it. I purchased this to verify that a cable run I was making from my attic to my basement was good. The tester returned that it was good, so I ran some speed tests using my laptop to verify and saw the speeds I expected.
