Got any recommendations for an ethernet cable tester? I don't make

cables,

just want to test them. Prices on Amazon are all over the board.

I use a Klein Tools LAN Scout Junior Tester. Easy to use, works great.

I'm riding a metric century (100 km / 65 miles) in the American Diabetes
Association's Tour de Cure to raise money for diabetes research,
education, advocacy, and awareness. You can make a tax deductible
donation to my ride by visiting http://lsteml.diabetessucks.net. My goal
is $6000 but any amount is appreciated.

See where I get my donations from ... visit
http://lsteml.diabetessucks.net/map for an interactive map (it's a geeky
thing).

I may have diabetes, but diabetes doesn't have me!
