RE: Doubling 100MBit ethernet by splitting the cable <-- bad idea
Fluke has some great testers...
But, they're expensive.. and for anyones use, unless you're running cabling
professionally.. it's a waste of a time.
My company owns a nice one, but it cost a few grand.. but that's because we
run cabling quite frequently.
We have a bunch of microscanner pro's which are only good really for
physically testing wire locations
We also ahve two DSP-4000's which are quite nice..

What testers do you recommend?
