Southwire Cable Tester,RJ45/Coax Connector Type 58745040

This is the first Southwire tool I've owned and I'm impressed. It feels good in the hand, is solid and seems well built. I own other cable testers (one with an LCD screen) but I like the LEDs better. They seem quicker and more efficient (for what I do anyhow). Four green lights and your good to go. I've used another brand (two small "boxes") for years. I like them, but I'm always fishing in my bag for either the remote or the main tester. I like that the M550 has the remote inserted in the main unit. I also like that that this tester will allow me to test coax cables as well, even though is a feature I won't use much. And I like the quality of the included patch cables and adapters. I'm very happy with the purchase. Note to those who may have trouble with pulling out the remote. I'm older with dry hands so I can understand that this can be an issue. What I've found is that, by turning the M550 over so that you grip the round "indentation" with your thumb and the front "ledge" with your index finger, you can get a stronger hold on the remote and it comes out easier. At least it works well for me. I would definitely recommend this tester to others.

Needed an affordable testing/tracing solution. This product fit the bill and exceeded expectations.
