TrendNet Cable Tester 10/100 & Coax.......2007-12-26
Bought this tester based on the reviews found here at Amazon. Product arrived promptly. I also purchased the Coax adapters as suggested in a review here. Had the experience to test coax shortly thereafter on a 150 ft. length of RG 6. Both ends were crimped incorrectly. Fixed it and was most impressed. Set up a couple of networks and same thing. Awesome I thought UNTIL... the first two LEDs quit working. Phoned TrendNet in California. Sent it back (fedEx cost $34.00) Now tester is worth $41 +$34 = $75.00. Ok as long as I get it replaced I thought. "New" tester arrived and 6 LEDs are inoperative. Lets see $34 more freight. Perhaps it is time to rethink this purchase. I now remember that "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of the cheap price has been forgotten. Good service from Amazon. Good service from TrendNet. Not so good a product from China.
Great Tool great price!.......2007-12-01
This product was very helpful. It made checking out an existing network very easy. This tool saved us time and money. We were able to check out existing connectins as well as new ones. We were able to use existing wiring and not start for scratch. The previous reviews really helped in the decision to purchase this item. I would suggest if you need to check out the system connections alone or with a patner this is the tool to use. Thanks for a gerat product at a great price.
Just What We Needed.......2007-09-09
With a radio station with the cables all running under the floor and through a crawl space, we needed to test an endless tangled array... this allowed us to figure out exactly where the problems were and where they weren't... and it worked like a charm.
Nice but Firewire, USB, F type coax are optional extras!.......2007-08-30
The good - This is quite a nice low to mid priced unit. It tests and indicates each wire separately and can be used to detect both crossed, open and shorted wires. It can test one wire at once or sequence though the set which can make faults easier to spot. It also claims to produce a "Tone" in the 600Hz to 800Hz range. This is not what you might assume - a tone that sounds when the connection is good - but a test signal send along the wire for use in conjunction with a "compatible Tone probe" which can be used to find the location of the break in a wire. Sounds like a very useful feature only the Tone Probe is a separate tool and the manual is a vague on what tool might be compatible. A good guess might be the TrendNet TC-TP1 Amplified Induc.and Tone Probe
also currently available from Amazon. Strangely neither product refers to the other even though they are from the same company. I have asked TrendNet if they work together so we shall see.
The not so good - There are a number of low priced cable testers available and this one is a bit more expensive although still quire reasonable compared to "professional" models. I decided on this tool since it seemed to offer the broadest range of cable interfaces for the price. It does this but rather less conveniently than I had hoped. Mea culpa but I was disappointed to discover on receipt that the USB and Firewire connectors are extra, around $15, and are not currently available from Amazon. Don't assume as I did, that they are included just because there is a customer photo of them. Also the Coaxial test connectors are BNC rather than the more common F type used for CATV/Cable. TrendNet does not seem to make an F-Type adapter for the unit so it is necessary to find a BNC to F-Type adapter elsewhere. It would be so much more convenient if all this was just included in the kit even if it was a few dollars more. Most households these day will have F-type coaxial, RJ11 telephone, RJ45 ethernet, and various types of USB and Firewire. If you are buying a tool like this it would be convenient if it was comprehensive out of the box.
I haven't used the tool in anger yet but some cursorary tests with various Telephone (RJ11) and Network (Cat5 RJ45) cables I had lying around seemed to indicate general goodness. The RJ11 telephone cables were a bit difficult to insert and remove from the RJ45 sockets so you need to be careful you don't strain them.
Great tester.......2007-05-15
Bought this tester to assist with re-wiring my house. Worked great, couldn't have done the job without it. Comes with a short cat5 cable. The short cable came in handy for testing cat5 wall plates and keystones.
