Review on 📊 Continuity Measurement Function by RockyMars Display by Rick Rogers

Managing network cabling for a small community was a challenge. We have long cable runs (many close to the Ethernet limit) and dozens of connections. Therefore, using some basic Ethernet testing and tracing tools has become a necessity. While our setup doesn't come close to meeting the accuracy requirements of many commercial setups, it's still important to minimize as many potential problems as possible. The RockyMars NF8209 network cable tester made this task easy. Our older (simple) cable tester was only good for a quick continuity test, couldn't handle POE cables and generally left a lot to be desired. While it doesn't reach the level of Fluke testers (and isn't expensive), the tester allowed us to better evaluate the quality of our installation efforts. Probably the most useful feature for our use case was the ability to determine the distance from the connection point where the cable has a fault. This tester offers such a possibility. Overall, this is an easy-to-use and reliable device for those who need the ability to test and monitor key Ethernet cable runs with an easy-to-read LCD display.
