Looking for a good but not expensive cat 5e cat6 cable tester
Hi,
I need to test cat5e and cat6 cables so I need a tester and a sensor (with a separated loop back).
I use to have a Fluke Microscanner MicroTest TWP Network Cable Tester Verifier at my other company but here the budget is lower so what comparable functions for under 200$ device would you suggest including a tone probe.
Thanks for the inputs!

I don't see a tone generator on it and it seems to do a lot less then the Fluke Microscanner??
You asked for inexpensive. For the features you are asking for it gets pricier.
Take a look through these and see where your features and price point match up.

What you quoted was around 20$ but I am ready to look at around 200$

I took the Klein and the fluke intellitone pro 100
I received the fluke and it's great. It does analog, digital tone and ohms coax rj11 rj45 and regular clamps and just waiting for the Klein for the other functions needed
