NOYAFA NF-8209 Network Cable Tester, Ethernet Cable Wire Tester with POE & NCV for CAT5/CAT6 Wire Tracer, Length Test, RJ45 Network Tester Kit for Cable Tracer Telephone Line Finder Home Repair

I'm a telecom professional and this tool is great! I'm able to accomplish multiple tasks with this one kit that would normally requires multiple seperate testers! I was a little skeptical at is capability for the price but once you started getting the hang of its wonderful! Im able to test continuity, tone and trace cable, determine the length of cable and even test POE! There is a little manual that comes with it but it's not really a complicated tester. Just make sure you are using the right port on the tester to match the test you are trying to conduct! The cable toner i found to be very adequate! You do have an option to test via digital or analog settings and you can adjust the sensitivity for a solid confirmation. It does come with various adapters for different testing conditions. I was to thrilled about the case. I like the layout and the availability of storing things away but I'd prefer a hard case to house it. There have been a couple times ive had something on the toner wand driving and it would turn on and beep but if thats just a preference thing BOTTOM LINE: Highly recommend for the price! The convenience and funtionality that is packed in this kit is definetly worth this price!

So I can't say enough about this little, capable, affordable piece of kit. I do my own cabling for my network. I largely live in Cat 5e. I had an old led type tester that would only show me whether I had a fundamental connectivity problem. That was great for awhile. But recently I moved over to doing pass-through connectors. I noticed on my network switch that my connection speed for a new cable was only 100Mbps though it should have been 1000Mbps. My old tester showed everything was fine, but it obviously wasn't. So I splurged the $50 for this little tester. I confirmed that my crimps were bad due to a faulty crimper. I now speed test all of my new cables with this tester by connecting the tester to one end of the cable and the other end to a spare gigabit switch I have. I liked that it did continuity, length testing and toning. A nice feature is that you can get a reading of the wire speed when you use the toning/flash option. The flash option was great as I wanted to map out my network. I connected to each ethernet jack, connected the tester via a short cable and went into flash mode. I then went to my switch where I could see the light pulsing slowly (differently than regular flashing.) I then noted which switch port that particular jack was connected to. I found that it tones wires fine too. I do run POE+ devices too. So I'll check that out eventually. Anyway. I like it. It wasn't that expensive and did more than I needed it to do. Hoped this helps.

Works great under ideal circumstances. Length function seems quite accurate and, if it shows different lengths, helps determine bad wires/connectors. Continuity test, flash test, reading POE signal, and sending a signal over a wire so I can detect it with the wand all work. Length shows pairs of wires, continuity shows each individual wire. I had space so I added a punchdown tool to my kit. Also, the buttons can press easily through the case so I added some hot glue around the power buttons. The tester works for about 5-10 minutes in sub zero temperatures. Haven't dropped it yet but it doesn't appear to have any protection against that. Tester uses 3x AAA batteries. Wand uses 9v. Would be cool if they used the same type or even cooler if they had usb charging. Still a good product, but room for improvement.

Excellent value for money. My NF-8209 uses standard batteries (included) one 9V for the probe and three AAA for the master (unlike the rechargeable version) which I am glad for! Because it can do so many different types of tests, it takes a few seconds to switch the cable to one of the 4 possible test ports and then select the correct on-screen test. The best feature is the ability to tone-test and flash live powered POE ports. Selecting POE SCAN, with the probe set to DIGITAL works well even if the port is not POE !!! Damn good tool, just purchased it but I can already know I cant live without it! Carlyle

Quickly, let me say an excellent tool for the money. Sure, it is not built like "professional" models, but has a nice consumer feel for what it is. So far I had no issue with any of the functions. The little extras are nice, and think it is great you can also (carefully) plug in RJ11 and test those cables as well. Ever wonder about the true length of a coiled phone cable? Probably not. But now I know, and that is what maters. I love how the display shows a simply LCD graphic of things. Much better than blinking lights and wot not. Easy to see at a glance if wires are good, crossed or shorted. My favorite feature is measuring length of cable. Time Domain Reflectometers to measure length once cost hundreds, of not thousands of dollars. I get that and more for under 50 bucks? I like that the included case is plain with no logo. I don't like to advertise the tech I am carrying. I might have preferred a more neutral color, such as a shade of gray. But still a practical case. Absolutely worth it, even though the manual has some spelling and minor grammatical errors. I made some minor revisions myself in a PDF editor. Get one!

Rénovant ma maison, j’avais un problème sur un des câbles ethernet que j’avais installé ainsi qu’une alimentation défaillante de mon switch PoE dans tous les câbles (cat. 6a STP). Ne souhaitant pas mettre une fortune dans un testeur de câble réseau, j’ai choisi celui-ci vu que les commentaires disaient qu’il faisait le travail. Ce testeur permet, entre autres, de tester les défauts de câbles (paires, court-circuit…), de mesurer la longueur d’un câble, de connaître l’emplacement du défaut du câble, de réaliser des tests PoE, bref, tout ce dont j’avais besoin sans que le testeur ne soit hyper sophistiqué. Eh bien ! je ne suis pas déçu ! J’ai trouvé la panne du câble qui avait tout simplement quelques brins coupés pas assez ras au niveau du connecteur RJ45 et j’ai résolu mon problème d’alim PoE dans la foulée tout en voyant que circulaient 1 Gbps de données dans les câbles. Ce qui m’a fait déduire que ma TV connectée, pourtant très récente, bridait les données ethernet à 100 Mbps. Pas grave. Tout fonctionne à merveille maintenant. Cerise sur le gâteau : j’avais lu, sur d’autres commentaires, que la notice n’était qu’en anglais et que les piles n’étaient pas livrées. Pour ma part, ma boîte contenait une notice en français, en anglais, en allemand et en espagnol ainsi qu’1 pile 9V et 3 piles AAA.

LAN Tester con Scan, attrezzo che funziona benissimo

I've used this lots for tracing network cables around the house, testing newly terminated network connections and for checking lengths, and it works brilliantly, it's been so useful. Other than remembering to move to the right network connection on the tester when you change modes, it couldn't be easier. The included cables are for Cat 3 voice connections, so if you're testing a Cat 5/6 connection don't use those, use another cable if you're testing say a socket, otherwise it will only test 3 out of the 4 pairs.

This kit was perfect for wiring a home surveillance and network with a reel of CAT6 cables and terminals. I mis-wired one AP cable THREE times in a row! If it weren’t for the device it would have been a headache. The scan wand is very useful, too. Helped me identify and label a number of cables that lost their labels during their transit in the conduits.
