Structured Cable (Premise Wiring) Testing...
(OP)
Although my job as a consultant is mostly programming, I've done a dozen or so premise wiring projects and UNIFI installs and have a few pending... Anyway, I now feel the need to be able to test and troubleshoot premise wiring. If you were paying for it, I'd own a $23,000 Fluke test kit for copper and fiber. Yet, back to reality. I'm only working with copper at the moment (Cat 6 & Cat 6A) with mostly Gigabit needs, although I'll need to support about 4 drops of 10G ethernet later this year. So, what test equipment do you own and that you fine indispensable? My needs include: mapping the drops, POE verification and testing, verifying that the pairs have continuity, any break in a conductor should be identifiable based on the length of the cable before the short or open...
So, what's in your bag?
Thanks!

I use the Fluke CIQ-100 CableIQ. It also qualifies the cable, saves reports and has port blink.
The Klein Commander also looks nice (I’ve never used one). It does everything the CIQ does accept qualify the cable.

I'm on Resintel's side. Get a good durable device like linked to and if you actually have a need to "certify" a cable rent that tester.
