Unimpressive tool for network testing

Using this product, our team found that it was unreliable and often failed to detect cable faults. The touch screen interface was difficult to navigate and the overall design was cumbersome. The only positive aspect was the compact size. Unfortunately, this did not outweigh the negative aspects and we cannot recommend this tool for professional network testing.

Pros
  • Compact size
Cons
  • Unreliable, difficult interface, cumbersome design.

This is a professional tool. Beware of home users.

This is the second one I have bought. This is an absolute must for anyone working online. I usually stick with the old school and usually use the default tint, but in a pinch and in a real wtf situation the intellitone feature can be quite nice. Its range is longer than standard toners and it even works when connected to a switch. If you're new to the phone company and have never used standard toner, you might think this isn't a great product. I urge everyone who is just starting to use the…

Pros
  • Voice/Data/Video Test Copper Cable Verifier with built-in RJ11, RJ45 and coaxial cable, test ports support low voltage test without adapters, provide high-quality installations and speed up cable problem resolution in active network environments
Cons
  • Long delivery time

One of the best network testers on the market today

Easy to use and reliable of the best network testers on the market today. I bought the MS2-100 to make it easier to find a few shorts in a 25 acre wireless setup. Without this, it would have taken weeks or months to trace cable by cable with my old tester to find the end of a cable to place a test block on one end and a tester on the other to test the line. Then they wouldn't know it yet, there was a brief layoff. Because a conventional cable tester usually does not detect short circuits, but…

Pros
  • Rugged housing with built in handy rubber case and magnetic tape, detects almost any cable or pair of wires with Intellitone digital and analog signal, sold separately
Cons
  • Great price
