Great Tool for Network Testing!

As an industrial and scientific professional, I'm always on the lookout for reliable testing equipment. Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice, I can confidently say that this breakout tester monitor female module is a must-have for any network technician. The compact design is easy to use and test results are accurate. One downside is that the instructions could be more detailed, but with a little experimentation, it's not hard to figure out. Overall, I highly recommend this product for…

Pros
  • Easy to use and set up
Cons
  • Requires a breakout board to work properly

Very Good DB9 Breakthrough with a Flaw

This is a good kit to break through the DB9 RS232 communication line. but it has one drawback that I overlooked when I bought it: it doesn't provide access to a common ground line. I wanted a breakout so I can monitor the lines with a logic analyzer/oscilloscope and you need to connect the probes to ground for this to work reliably. I'm modifying the device to do what I need, but that's the problem I haven't had. I don't understand what to do (besides, it ruins the elegant packaging of the…

Mainly for beginners. If you are an expert, you probably need a professional device. It's difficult for a beginner to read a set of pins…

Pros
  • Great Design
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging
