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.. check out: flukenetworks.com --------------------------- Paul Matuszewski Systems Administration In Office Networks http://www.inofficenetworks.com V:(516) 816-4871 V:(305) 799-4871 F:(305) 441-2804 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Stephen Patterson Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2003 3:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Doubling 100MBit ethernet by splitting the cable <-- bad idea On Tue, 10 Jun 2003 19:10:12 +0200, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > These cables will buzz out fine with a DC ohmmeter.
