XQ-350 J45-RJ11 Phone LAN Network Wire Tracker Scanning Device - Orange

Pros: - Simple and all in one - Network wiring tester. Shows whether your pin out is correct. Can be used with both RJ11 and RJ45 plugs. - Induction tester, with cables for RJ45, RJ11 and two crocodile connectors. Also includes a simple mono ear piece

Cons: - Power switch on the side of the induction tester can be activated when inserted back in holster. - A bit cheap plasticey feeling. Could've been made with better plast.

Other: The best induction tester I've found in it's price range, and for that money you get a "free" wire tester.

Pros: Best price (same looking, blue one, here on DX cost much more). Nice PCB and good soldiering of the components. Look at my pictures to check it. Dual tone, many functions, easy operation. Build in LED lamp :) Works on live simple 100/1000 networks (I would not connect it to POE networks !!! ). Does not harm network devices at all.

Cons: plastic feeling, that is always problem of cheap china products but this one is ok, does not feel professional but it is good enough. LED could have bigger hole or stand out of case to improve "torch mode" :) not very well made connectors - RJ45 jack plastic latch does not dig into the cable so be careful. Not a big deal... Very bad colour :) I would like black one but they did not have... orange sux :)

Other: Go for it or buy Mastech MS6813 here on DX (looks more pro, compact and so on but higher price). Does what it is supposed to do. Highly recommended product!!!
