Professional Signal Diagnostics: RJ11 & RJ45 Network Cable Tester �
Ensure your network and telephone connections are flawless with our Professional RJ11 & RJ45 Network Cable Tester. This essential diagnostic tool is designed to quickly verify the integrity of Ethernet (Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6) and telephone lines. By automatically running a sequential continuity test, it allows you to identify miswired pairs, short circuits, and open circuits in seconds.
The tester features a versatile two-piece design. The Master unit and the Remote unit can be detached, allowing you to test long cable runs that are already installed through walls or ceilings.

Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns �
Can this tell me exactly where a cable is broken? While it won't give you a footage measurement, it will show you exactly which pin number is failing. If the Remote unit LEDs don't light up for a specific number, you know that specific wire is broken or mis-crimped.
� Is it safe to test live "powered" lines? No. This is a continuity tester designed for unpowered "dark" cables. Plugging it into a live PoE (Power over Ethernet) switch or active high-voltage line may damage the unit.
How do I know if a crossover cable is working? For a standard "straight-through" cable, the LEDs will light up 1 through 8 in the same order on both units. For a crossover cable, the LEDs on the Remote unit will light up in a different, specific sequence (e.g., 3-6-1-4-5-2-7-8).
