Okay that made my mind this is the device for me. Last question, the tone test cable trace function I believe that I will need the accessory but again I couldn't find it. Can anyone advise? I wish I could get this of the shelf where I am, time is of the essence.

Try Amazon. They sell this stuff and shipping is very fast.
I have purchased Fluke gear from Amazon.

Hi Tmoore1962 Thansk for the URL but I am going to stick with fluke networks Im just deciding on the device now.
What do you need exactly ?
Fluke Network answers :
"Types of cable testers
In general, testers used on premises cabling can be divided into three categories.
• Verification Testers – Used to determine if the cable is properly connected.
• Qualification Testers – Help determine if the cabling will support technology requirements like fast Ethernet, VoIP, Gigabit Ethernet,
etc. This type of tool is sometimes erroneously called a “Speed Certifier”.
• Certification Testers – Test the cabling to ensure that it meets specific cabling performance standards. A good certification tester is
easy to use, but has the ability to quickly do complex and accurate calculations."
if you need to cable tester and some network tests you had better to buy LinkRunner AT 2000 (with fiber testing)
if you need cable tester cheap and best than LinkRunner , you should buy the qualifier CableIQ from fluke
