5-in-1 Multi Functional Cable Tester

• 5 Cable Types Supported: Tests RJ45 (Ethernet Cat5e/Cat6), RJ11/RJ12 (phone lines), BNC (coaxial/video), USB (A/B), and IEEE 1394 (FireWire)—versatile for LAN, telecom, computer, and AV cabling.
• Continuity & Wiring Checks: Detects opens, shorts, crossed pairs, miswiring, and continuity—LED indicators (or LCD on advanced models) show pin-by-pin status on both master and remote units.
• Remote Unit Testing: Separate remote unit allows testing long installed cables (up to 600 ft/180 m) in walls, ceilings, or patch panels—master plugs into one end, remote at the other.
• LED Display: Clear LED lights (typically 1-8 + G for RJ45) indicate correct wiring, faults, or power/battery status—easy to read even in low light.
• Battery Powered: Uses 9V battery (included or user-supplied)—low power consumption for extended field use.
• Plug-and-Play Operation: Simple push-button test—no complex setup; auto-scans and shows results instantly.
• Compact & Portable: Handheld design with carrying pouch (on some models)—fits easily in toolkits for on-site work.
• Additional Features (on many models): Battery test function, integrated cable adapters (e.g., coaxial BNC adapter), and protective case for durability.
• High Compatibility: Works with straight-through cables (not crossover or reverse-wired specialty cables in basic models)—supports shielded (STP) and unshielded (UTP) types.
• Great for Troubleshooting: Essential for verifying cable integrity before deployment—saves time diagnosing network issues like no connection, intermittent faults, or wrong wiring.
• Trusted Generic/Branded Quality: Widely available from suppliers like Intellinet, Logilink, or generic brands (e.g., via Jumia, local Nairobi electronics shops, or AliExpress)—prices typically range from KSh 1,500–4,000 depending on features and build quality (LED vs LCD, included adapters).
