How to Use an Ethernet Cable Tester

In this video we show you how to use a simple ethernet cable tester. These are actually really easy to use once you know what you’re doing. The harder part is knowing what each light is telling you and what the different combinations mean.

Thanks! Your video is much better than some of the others that have no explanation.

That was a great help! I use that tester and I never knew that it can be used that way.

[susanadams]

I really appreciate the details as to why it does what it does. Thank you!

[ghostilla]

Thanks just made a purchase of what looks to be same unit and it works as stated

What about if the pattern skip follows the tester? I have a long run in my house that has been reterminated twice and based on the pattern it looks like pins 3 and 5 are swapped, but if I switch the the testers it follows the tester not the connector. I get data across it but only negotiates at 10Mbit.

5 years ago exactly how many years ago i bought this tester and today I use it for the first time,

you can treat the ethernet ports in your house with 2 extra cables as 1 long cable assuming the 2 extra ones work correctly too

Just tested cat 7 with Jack at 2 ends & pasted test with same device. But, when I used it to connect my PC with router, then one direction is ok. but when I switched jacks of cable to plug in PC & router, then it doesn’t work.
Do you know why? If anybody know, please share your solution & reasons with me . Thanks

I get the lights blinking up to 7. I'm using a cat7 cable from Ugreen. Does it not support cat7 cables?

I have one of these testers and after making up a new cable I have number 2 and 6 light up amber what does that mean?

[onzkicg]

Thanks I have this but they’re not realtime in sync is it ok? I was on other side of wall and master green light skipping a number same as remote skipping numbers but its hard to say they’re in sync seems not.. is that normal? Other room skipping like 3 numbers, while other skips 1

[flipstye]

Is there a way to fix a potentially dead cable? In my main source, it cycles through all the number lights fine, but on the remote, it skips light number 2. Thanks and great video!

[coob]

if my numbers are switched on both sides i mean on main tester there is 1 and on remote there is 8 that means i conneted them the other way round?

[TriPham-yowe]

Can we used virtual software to resarrange any order after connect then assigned or reassigned on spot may be better on noncontact diagnosed foundation

These little units do have one major problem in where you place the master and remote unit can have you confused on a finding a network cable. Always place the master unit on the outside cable in a house ( NVR installation) and use the remote section on the inside of the house to find a wire. This is because the master unit will light up if a cable that is connected to an active source like a TV is plugged into the master unit, making you believe you have the right cable.

Just to be sure if it skips a number that means the cable is bad right?
