Re: Anyone know if this cable tester is any good?

[Kevin Hawkins <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually this is available at under £60 from a lot of places
including
PCWorld, MicroWarehouse, Inmac etc  - Does split pairs which is very
nice but has no length or distance to short/open measurement, no end
identifications (numbered remotes) and no IP/ speed tests - none of
these are normally needed for a home type unit though so looks pretty
useful. There is a kit that includes a tone tracer for  more dosh .
Certainly appears much better than the low end units.
