Easy to use and by far one of the best network testers on the market today. I purchased the MS2-100 to help make it easier to locate several shorts in a wireless network configuration that covers 25 acres. That without it could have taken weeks or months to trace out cable by cable with my old tester of having to find the end of one cable to place the test block on one end and the tester on the other to check the line. Then still would not have known was a short issue. As a regular cable tester generally does not indicate shorts, only split or crossed wires.

I decided to purchase a new tester that had the capability to not only test multiple cables, but cables still being used connected directly to a distribution center. That also show what was wrong and the distance it was away from me. It not performed as designed and advertised. It cut my time down to 3 days to locate all the shorts and other issues within the network by having the footage away from the distribution center to help narrow down my starting point to look for the problem. Along with the additional information of knowing if there was a split or crosswire and/or high voltage in the line. Once all the PoE adapters that was added to the original configuration were removed, the high voltage issue and short they caused was resolved. I would have not been able to locate the problem without the measurement feature showing me the how far away each issue was from the testing point. I recommend this product to anyone in need to of troubleshooting networks. It will be your main tool used when diagnosing network issues.

It's not a Cadillac, and it doesn't have the most features. But for the day-to-day troubleshooting that we do the most, it's a solid work-horse, with all the right features, and certainly the right price. For this price point I don't think we could ask for anything more. I keep it in my office, and my guys are borrowing it constantly. BTW, this is a replacement. The batteries gave up the ghost in the last one and the acid took it out, so we required another.

Nice Test equipment from a great manufacturer. Nice case, Intuitive,
can't wait to see what issue PS4 had with my wiring. Maybe I can charge them, Maybe a price of an education, whatever, I win.

I bought this because my Fluke Nettool did not like POE. This is basic as far as network functions. Wont read IP, DHCP, etc, but is probably the best cable tester and toner available.

This is an indispensable toolkit for anybody that has to check cabling runs. It allows me to tell if there is a switch on the other end, breaks, or faults in the wiring. No switch on the other end? Use the built-in digital tone generator and signal meter to quickly identify your cable from within a huge bundle on the other end. Super helpful and worth the money.
