I own an Ethernet cable tester. Somewhere.

Then the frustration as you desperately try to find the hardware you know you have to avoid the shame of buying a new one.

That's easy, I keep my Ethernet cable tester next to my Ethernet cable crimper! Where is that? Well it's where I keep my Ethernet headers! Where are they stored? Easy, next to the Ethernet cable tester!

Easy solution, buy one, find yours, cancel order.

Someone needs to create a placebo-amazon.

I highly recommend buying a cheap toolbox for this. I have one with my a multimeter, various cable testers, probe tracers, crimpers, etc.

Works great as long as things get put back!

Edit: To be clear, you don't take things out of the toolbox to go do your task. The whole damn toolbox goes with you, things come out, things go back in, toolbox goes back. Only option that worked for me.
