A must have
If you work with structured wiring, you cannot do without this tool.Identifying unlabeled ports at the rack or on the floor, testing them, testing cables... All-in-one.If you have a spare audio probe from one cheap wire tracer that - as they all do - has died, this can also act as a the signal injector on any one or more of the wires.It's been a life saver, more than once.

Essential for advanced cable tests
Needed a much better cable tester to provide POE testing without going into crazy money territory as in thousands, and this fit the bill, although did seem a big price difference between standard and poe versions.Has really helped resolve network backbone installation issues quickly and was great help in running multiple cabled networks.

Nice piece of kit
Fact that set includes id plugs is a bonus, makes work much easier if your network is not labeled.
