quick rj 45 network cable tester
when a lan connection fails you can swap out the cable to see if it is the problem or you can reach for the monoprice lan quicker 009 this cable tester is designed to troubleshoot rj45 lan cables both utp and stp . it not only tells you if the cable passes or fails the test it indicates which pins fail and whether they are open shorted or crossed . this allows you to easily see if the cable is your problem and what you need to do to fix it if it is . the tester has two basic testing modes auto and step . in auto mode it makes a single pass over the cable and gives a result . it shows whether the cable passed or failed and if it failed the type of failure open short or cross and the affected pins wires . in step mode the tester steps through each wire independently with each press of the test button . this allows you to get detailed results for a cable that may have multiple types of failures . for example you can see that pin 1 is open pins 2 and 3 are crossed and that pin 4 is shorted . warning do not test live circuits as it could cause damage to the tester unit or personal injury . note this product has a universal card packaging that is used for pids 8129 8130 and 8131 with the individual model marked on the back . the front of the packaging includes functionality tags for all three testers combined . therefore the packaging erroneously indicates that this tester is capable of testing hdmi coax and rj12 cables which it is not designed to do . for hdmi cable testing please use pid 8131 . for coax and rj11 12 testing use pid 8129 . also note that the manual for this tester shows test results for rj12 coax and usb cables . while it is electrically capable testing these types of cables the necessary connectors or adapters are not included with the tester.monoprice has everything you need to for network cable maintenance you may also want to consider crimping tool for rj11 12 45 connectors bulk cat5e and cat6 cable rj11 rj12 and rj45
