My good mate Darren has the "Daddy" of all Cable Testers. It's a Fluke something-or-other and it's amazing! It can ping IPs, generate network traffic, test bandwidth , tell how long your CAT5 cable is, how many metres down the cable the break is (if there is one) and even the date and time the cable was manufactured (ok...I made that last one up). The only problem with this hand held wonder is that it's the same price as a small farm in Donegal!...
