VCELINK GJ468 Network Cable Tester, RJ45 Ethernet Cable Tester PoE for Cat5/Cat6/Cat7 LAN Cable & RJ11 Phone Cable

This tester does identify cable faults. If you've made your own ethernet cables (or just renewed a plug) it will show if some wires aren't properly connected or if they're in the wrong order, but you do need to be able to see both ends. I used it to check a cable already in place between two rooms on different floors, so I needed someone to read out what they were seeing on the other end. It was a sequence error so we needed to be on mobile phones to discuss sequence we were both seeing.It works well and is fairly easy to use so is good value for money

Very good product.

Very simple to use and works but doesn't include a battery.

CCTV at home stopped working suddenly, wasn’t sure if camera was faulty or the Ethernet cable was a fault. Camera location and wiring was to difficult to access and would have took many hours to diagnose so decided to purchase this for assistance.Arrived quickly and tested straight away with known working cable to check what results I should get.Tested suspected faulty cable and showed no2 as a faulty wire which ment the camera was on and the cable was the issue, investigated outside cable and found one of the RJ45 connector pin had shorted out the wire, replaced connector and worked perfectly.Saved me time excellent product!

Worked as expected and made me realise I’ve been wasting time faffing about rewiring Ethernet sockets blind without this tool. Cheap and cheerful but extremely happy with my purchase.

Easy to use & works with Cat6a cable over 90meter + run, ive used it a fe times for RJ45 Cat6a and Cat6 and it does the job, very happy

I paid an electrician for a full rewire including phone lines and network. Nothing special or complicated, just wanted to hardwire 2 tvs and an Xbox in 3 separate rooms. Openreach had to come out and fix the phone line and he checked the ADSL sockets for me, said it wasn’t going to work and that it wasn’t on his job sheet to fix. I bought some kit to refit the plugs and checked the sockets and it all looked ok to me. I saw DIY Guy on YouTube who detailed wiring in your own net at home and realised it was probably a problem I could fix myself so I bought this whizzy little gadget, checked the line to one of the tv screens and it showed two wires not working. On closer inspection with my phone on 3x zoom I could see why. Without this bit of kit we would still have needed to use WiFi and keep having to reset the tv. It’s all up and running now and I’m very pleased with this purchase. I feel confident enough to help my kids in their homes if they need. Useful as they’re both tech heads :)

For such a simple device, the quality is poor. Both my Father and I ended up wasting time on a couple of projects before we discovered this device is faulty and giving erroneous readings. I am not sure how long it lasted or if it ever perfectly worked but at 2 years old it is ready for landfill and I am back to using the multimeter!
