Mark, I’ve been using a similar tool by Greenlee. The NC-500 (NETcat Pro 2). I have found that you can calibrate the distance on a known length of Twin & CPC, and once proved “DEAD” you can get a very helpfull distance to break on a L,N,cpc. Saves a lot of time unscrewing multiple sockets.
Just curious, what would happen if you plugged in the coax coming from your ISP and tested it and then tested the length? Would it work? Would it disrupt service for other subscribers? I want to try it, but I'm scared. :D
How can I identify if my jr45 jacks in my new home are set to T568A or T568B. I took a picture of one of them, but I can't tell anything from the picture. I ask this because I may have to re-do all of them (about 8 or 10) and I don't know how much spare ethernet cable I will have inside the wall. If it is not much, I have to be very careful when I wire the cables with a new and better jr45. Thank you.
Both have the same pin outs just different colours in the cables so can only be visually identified. If you can’t do that you can’t do it. Seak the services of someone who can would be my best advice
@@electrician247 I will ask the construction company to supply me with this information since the house will not be completed until July 31st, 2024. Thank you for your comment.

That is such a good idea! Genius infact! That would be really useful

can it check the coaxial cable if all braided are good?
Where did you buy this ? Did you have to get it from the states ?
I got it via amazon amzn.to/3vlzxRj
Will it work for cat 8 cable?
No idea 🤣
Cat 3 to Cat 7 shielded and unshielded.
@@thegarageluthier but can test cat 8 if it is connected or not?
@@johnimperial9777 no idea only ever used it with 5 & 6, the rest is from the instructions.
Did shows which side (meter or remote) has pins reverse?
nice video
Thank you.
