## Description

With iMBPrice continuity tester you can check LAN patch cable (RJ45) and telephone cable (RJ11) for pass, open, short or cross wire. You can quickly test cables using scan mode, or step mode to check connection one contact at a time. Detachable remote unit allows you to test wires already installed. Pop a 9-Volt battery(Not Included) in and you're ready to test the connection to any room in your home or office!

Review: Exceptional tester - If you need to test network cables for any reason, this tester is money very well spent! We added network cable to two floors in our home. We bought bulk cable and pass thru connectors and made our own cable runs. We learned quickly the advantage of pass thru connectors and a good crimper (Klein: https://www.desertcart.com/Pass-Thru-Reliable-Klein-Tools-VDV226-110/dp/B076MGPQZQ/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=cat6+crimper&qid=1577109276&sr=8-4). There is no substitute for the right tool for the job. Several times we dropped both parts of the tester from ladders, so 5 ft or more. This had no effect on their performance. They don't claim that it is "rugged" but it stood up to our carelessness very nicely. We found it very useful that the remote unit slid apart easily so we could test cable runs from one room to another very easily. Obviously if you're testing an uninstalled cable with both ends easily accessible the tester works fine also. The switch runs the tests at two different speeds. If the fast speed goes a little fast you can slow it down to more easily watch the matching lights illuminate during testing. It's simple, works exactly the way it should and it's durable. I would buy another one or recommend one to anyone with a network cable test requirement. It's an essential tool in our tool bags!
Review: Works as advertised - This review is for iMBAPrice - RJ45 Network Cable Tester. I find the meter to be priced right and adequate for the task. This device is a simple and effective continuity tester. We use it test CAT6 cables that we are making to connect our electronics inside our house. This tester does one thing and does it well. It's not absolutely required. I could have used a simple ohm meter to test connections one at a time. That would have been a lot more time consuming. The plastic case of the unit I received is robust enough for its intended purpose. To be sure, it is not as robust as my $500 Fluke meter. Neither is it the lowest quality plastic coming out of China. An additional unintended benefit was when the young ones in our hose-hold were looking over my shoulder, to make sure I was doing it right no doubt. The slow blinking LED light going sequentially from 1 to 8 held a certain fascination that went beyond just being entertaining. Now there is talk of abandoning a future in politics for a future in electronics. That there is worth a million dollars. lol

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I need to define which cable is linked to each room in house as they all terminate in a single box in closet.  Will this define which cable is which?**
A: Yes, but it will require patience and a bit of time.
First unplug all LAN cables from your switch or router in the closet.  Also unplug any computers or printers or switches in all of the rooms.  This tester is not meant to test “live” cables.  
If you are testing jacks (not terminated cables) you will need a tested jumper cable for each end (test the jumpers first).
Connect the master CT468 to one of the lines in the closet and turn it on.  I recommend the “on setting” to save time (the S is for slow).  Then go room to room with the CT468 remote and plug the remote in (if testing jacks plug in the known good jumper cable).  It should light up in a couple of seconds if that line in the closet goes to that room.  Once you get lights on the remote you have identified which room corresponds with the cable the CT468 master is connected with in the closet.  Let the lights cycle at least two times to check for continuity on all pairs in that cable.  If one or more of the lights do not light up or they do not light up in order (1 then 2 then 3 then 4 then 5 then 6 then 7 then 8) then you have a problem in that cable.  Note G is only for Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cables, which are rarely used in a home environment.  You will need to repeat this process for each cable in the closet and each room.  Don’t forget to label each end.
Good luck and God bless.

**Q: what does is mean the lights just keep sycaling?**
A: When you are doing the test, the lights continue to go through the cycle 1, 2, 3, etc., testing the pairs. If there is a problem with a pair, the lights cycle will indicate by going 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 5, etc., indicating a problem between pair 5 & 6. You might not see that the first time so the lights will just continue to run through the sequence so you can continue to see where the problem pair is located. It just means that the lights continue until you turn off the test. It works great and it’s very simple to use. Once you use it, you will understand what the “sycaling” means. It just doesn’t do it once and then stops, it continues to sycaling through.

**Q: light goes on from 1 to 8 but g does not light. what is G for?**
A: The G is for ground, if there is a ground is will show, if no ground is in the cable assembly not to worry. Most cable assembly's today do not have a ground.

**Q: There are 3 different testers for sale, which do I need to test my cat 6 cables installed by electrician and my own cables? Connection is spotty.**
A: One that does rj45. Cat6 cables have rj45 connectors. This tester will only tell you if the wires are connected in the proper order, not if the quality of the connection is good enough. That requires a much more expensive tester.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ethernet cable tester, gets the job done
*by M***. on April 13, 2025*

This device has saved me some headache and cost verifying existing cables for wire damage/connectivity before replacing them. The device is simple, accurate, and very easy to use. The detachable remote piece is useful for verifying and/or finding downstream cable connectors. The plastic build of the device means it's light and easy to toss in a bag, but it also feels a little underwhelming. My only real issue with it is the detachable piece is on the looser side and falls off fairly easily, there isn't enough tension in the slot. I remedied this by putting a piece of masking tape along the inside edge to snug up the slot without negatively impacting its use. If you are looking for something simple, light, and low cost to simply check network cable ends, this will absolutely do the job. There is nothing deluxe about this, which is sort of the appeal.
