Does it also have an RJ11 jack or just the RJ45 jack?

Does this test if cat6 is in-spec? Or does it just test basic connectivity per wire?

Unfortunately the testers we sell would only test for connectivity, not speed.

Does the cable need to be connected to a network or does the device have the capability to test without a network connection? I'm wiring a new house build and won't have a network setup yet.

BEST ANSWER: You can test the cables end to end, you will need them terminated however as the tester only has RJ45 connections.

Do I have to run to the other end to check continuity? Or does it tell me on the unit I'm running the test from whether it passes for fails?
ie: I have a crappier unit that lights up all 8 lights on the tester side no matter what because that's where the test is "coming from" -- and I have to go up and down stairs multiple times to make sure the lights all light up on both ends.

BEST ANSWER: So this unit has two parts where the top slides out. For this you need to plug one side of the wire into one end and another end of the wire into the other end of the unit.

Great Network Cable Tester
I upgraded my internet service from 100Mbps to 600mbps. When I ran speed tests on my wired desktop, I was still maxing out at 100mbps. I ordered this tester to test the patch cables I had created several years ago. There were 3 cables between my desktop and my modem. What I discovered was network cable RJ45 connections are forgiving up to 100mbps. I found a problem on all 3 of the cables (crosses, opens and shorts). Apparently 3 of the 4 pairs can have continuity and you can still hit 100mbps. It's when you need to go >100mbps, you need to have all 4 pairs perfect and this tester helped me find the problems. I did not have the issues with the tester staying on as one reviewer had. It auto powers off after you run a test. My only complaint is the 9V battery cover has a screw and is not convenient to open. With 9V powered devices, I usually flip or disconnect the 9V battery when I'm finished using it to prolong battery life.

Works Great and its easy to use. You get a quick conformation if the cable your testing passes or fails. It will also tell you if its open, shorted or crossed.

This is second one that I am using at another location. The first one has fulfilled all needs for years and has worked flawlessly.

This saved me time in troubleshooting cables!
I was hesitant in buying a tester, since the "test" is just plugging the cable in. I'm glad I did. I found an intermittent short by wobbling the DIY cable plug end when testing. I may have never found this issue otherwise.

A must have!
I finally purchased this cable tester after I discovered a data error was the result of having a bad connection. In the past I just assumed all my crimp or punch down connections were good, but that is definitely not a safe assumption. I highly recommend this tester as it quickly and easily lets you know if there are any connection problems.

Not the best tester in the world, but OK for the price
This tester has issues. You cannot turn it off. The thing is supposed to turn off automatically, but I did not witness it turning off the time I used it. I went to bed and it was still on in the morning! I checked it when I got home from work the second day I had it, and it was finally OFF. Why don't they have an on/off switch on this thing? Ridiculous! I suspect the only reason it actually finally turned off is that the battery went totally dead, used up by the LED's which remain continuously on. If I find out differently I will write a new review, but so far this is a big disappointment.
