That is way I only gave it 4 eggs instead of 5 eggs. Overall Review: The only major thing I would make a change to is how the Startech LANTESTPRO RJ45 Network Cable tester uses 9v batteries so that when the unit is stored there is no drain on the battery until it is needed.

Using 9v batteries is great to keep the Startech LANTESTPRO RJ45 Network Cable tester portable but it would have been get to have a 9v power adapter to come with the tester too. Not a big deal it would have just been a nice addition. I had to supply my own 3 feet and 6 feet RJ-45 cables to connect the Terminators to the RJ-45 wall out let. The tester is always left in the OFF position when stored in its carrying case. I make sure the LCD display is not lite, except for when the tester is first turned on. That ended up a win for me, that my client contracted me to run a new cable 75 feet between the two points.Ĭons: I have had the Startech LANTESTPRO RJ45 Network Cable tester for about a year+ now and it seems to drain the 9v batteries quickly. At one of my clients a computer was having issues with dropped packets and a few other things, I connected the tester and on of its Terminators and the test after checking showed a short in the RJ-45 cable running from where the DSL/Router, Switch was at to the RJ-45 jack at the other end.
