Cool... but this one tests all of the standard hardware. Gotta build it though. :wink:

Hard to beat this deal. Works for continuity, haven't tested switched pairs, etc.

I have this one from the geeks, works great. A couple times a year they will have it really cheap. They also have this with a 1000 foot spool of Cat 5 and 100 connectors really cheap occasionally.
