CABLE TESTER 10/100 COAX & TP RJ11 RJ12 RJ45
Customer Reviews:
Just What We Needed.......2007-09-09
With a radio station with the cables all running under the floor and through a crawl space, we needed to test an endless tangled array... this allowed us to figure out exactly where the problems were and where they weren't... and it worked like a charm.
Nice but Firewire, USB, F type coax are optional extras!.......2007-08-30
The good - This is quite a nice low to mid priced unit. It tests and indicates each wire separately and can be used to detect both crossed, open and shorted wires. It can test one wire at once or sequence though the set which can make faults easier to spot. It also claims to produce a "Tone" in the 600Hz to 800Hz range. This is not what you might assume - a tone that sounds when the connection is good - but a test signal send along the wire for use in conjunction with a "compatible Tone probe" which can be used to find the location of the break in a wire. Sounds like a very useful feature only the Tone Probe is a separate tool and the manual is a vague on what tool might be compatible. A good guess might be the TrendNet TC-TP1 Amplified Induc.and Tone Probe
also currently available from Amazon. Strangely neither product refers to the other even though they are from the same company. I have asked TrendNet if they work together so we shall see.
The not so good - There are a number of low priced cable testers available and this one is a bit more expensive although still quire reasonable compared to "professional" models. I decided on this tool since it seemed to offer the broadest range of cable interfaces for the price. It does this but rather less conveniently than I had hoped. Mea culpa but I was disappointed to discover on receipt that the USB and Firewire connectors are extra, around $15, and are not currently available from Amazon. Don't assume as I did, that they are included just because there is a customer photo of them. Also the Coaxial test connectors are BNC rather than the more common F type used for CATV/Cable. TrendNet does not seem to make an F-Type adapter for the unit so it is necessary to find a BNC to F-Type adapter elsewhere. It would be so much more convenient if all this was just included in the kit even if it was a few dollars more. Most households these day will have F-type coaxial, RJ11 telephone, RJ45 ethernet, and various types of USB and Firewire. If you are buying a tool like this it would be convenient if it was comprehensive out of the box.
I haven't used the tool in anger yet but some cursorary tests with various Telephone (RJ11) and Network (Cat5 RJ45) cables I had lying around seemed to indicate general goodness. The RJ11 telephone cables were a bit difficult to insert and remove from the RJ45 sockets so you need to be careful you don't strain them.
Great tester.......2007-05-15
Bought this tester to assist with re-wiring my house. Worked great, couldn't have done the job without it. Comes with a short cat5 cable. The short cable came in handy for testing cat5 wall plates and keystones.
Test your wiring as it's being installed with this unit.......2006-12-03
TRENDware CABLE TESTER 10/100 COAX & TP ( TC-NT2 )
I used this tester to verify coax and Cat5e wiring as a structured wiring system was installed. Three Cat5e and two RG6 (coax) cables went to each room from a centrally located panel. Cat5e cable is fairly fragile, so the time to verify it works is when it's installed. With dry-wall up, you're screwed if a concealed cable fails.
Verifies that: 1) wiring is correct end to end [connectivity, right wire on each pin, no shorts, no wrong cross-overs), 2) the cable isn't damaged, 3) the connector isn't defective.
Install terminators on each end; plug one end of the cable into the sending unit and the other end into the receiving (remote) unit. If either end the cable has a jack (versus a plug), plug one end of a straight-through patch cable into that jack and the other end into the tester. Choose testing one wire (pin or path) at a time, or, auto cycle through 8 wires + ground. Testing is simplest when the remote unit within sight. Otherwise, use the auto setting and go to that other end to see what's happening, or have a helper yell back (or walkie talkie) which lights come on.
The sending unit tests wires in sequence (1 to 8, ground) and then repeats. For each wire tested, a corresponding red LED on the sender lights. A low-voltage current is sent on that wire to an LED on the remote. If there is continuity, a red light on the remote comes on. If you're testing wire 1 and it's received on wire 1 on the remote, the number 1 LED lights. If it's received on another wire (e.g., wire 2), that LED comes on. If it's received on multiple wires, they'll all light. If it's not received at all, no LED's light up. On auto mode, LED's 1 through 8 should light at the remote at one second intervals.
Even though all 29 of my RG6 cables check out OK, several of the 45 Cat5e didn't; which I then fixed. The Trendware tester found one defective Keystone jack, plugs where I had crossed wires, and a jack where a wire didn't make contact.
To test RG6 coax, you'll need two F Type Female to BNC Male adapters. You can also purchase USB and Firewire adapters to test those cable types (see customer photos).
Comes in a zipper case, with room for the optional adapters. It uses one 9 volt battery.
Excellent product.
Builds Confidence.......2006-05-05
You could just connect it to a computer and see if it works, but this helps build some confidence. This was my first attempt to crimp CAT5/6 ethernet cables and wire my home. I bought a spool of CAT5 and ends from Home Depot, bought the Trendware crimp tool & this tester tool online. I just wanted some confidence that the connections were okay.
I assume the tool did something complex, but it doesn't. It just tells you that all the connections are solid. I had absolutely no problem with this tool. It worked perfectly. It just doesn't really test out the line other than make sure connections from one end reach the other end. It does *not* catch twisted pair issues.
By the way, don't forget to look up color diagrams and make sure you use the correct twisted pairs together. It isn't enough to just have the right stright-through connections from one end to another. You must match the correct pairs. Although color doesn't matter, you have to pair the expected two at the other end. That's how it does error correction, by assuming the same interference is seen on each twisted pair and cancels out the same signal on both. If you don't pair them correctly, it cannot error correct. I needed a 50 foot run under the house, and it didn't work until I paired the correct twisted pair. Do some internet research on this and print some colored guides. This tool doesn't test for that.
In the end, I still recommend this to build confidence. If you did mess up a connection, it isn't worth my time to mess with it another 1/2 hour or to find out later that it doesn't work at all. So for that confidence and saving you time, I recommend it.

Excelente, Gran calidad.......2007-09-16
Muy buen producto funciona muy bien con mi xbox 360 mi HDDVD y mi Wii, gracias a su control remoto cambio de aparato con gran facilidad.
very convenient.......2007-06-13
My kids kept swapping cables between cable and xbox from our big screen projector. A passive, 3connector stereo/video switch was "suspect" in some noise on the screen. I picked up some new cables (Dayton) which is probably the biggest cause for improvement but also added this switchbox for convenience. The picture is still perfect and the remote switch is VERY convienent. Very glad I bought this thing.

Product Description
If you are looking for an ultra-compact zoom camera that makes serious photography as quick as pressing the shutter button, the IQZoom 928M is for you. Its 28mm wide-angle lens will easily capture expansive landscapes or group shots. And for those detailed close-ups, simply zoom to 90mm telephoto and get beautiful results every time. From your very first roll of film, you're sure to love the IQZoom 928M's wide and wonderful world of picture framing flexibility.
Amazon.com Product Description
The Pentax IQZoom 928M features wide-angle to telephoto coverage and 3.2x zoom in a compact body that fits into a shirt pocket or small purse. Its zoom macro capability captures well-defined close-up pictures at any focal length with a maximum magnification of 0.22x at the 90mm telephoto setting. The five-point passive autofocus system produces images that are sharp and clear.
If the camera's metering system detects a low light or backlight situation, the built-in flash automatically provides fill-in illumination. It also offers a red-eye reduction feature. Other flash modes include flash on/off, slow shutter synch, bulb synch, and bulb.
When the IQZoom 928M is left unused for three minutes, it automatically retracts the zoom lens to storage position and shuts off to save battery power. The date feature on this camera allows you to imprint the date or time onto pictures to keep track of memorable events.
Customer Reviews:
Great little camera.......2003-03-04
This little camera has loads of features and takes great pictures. I'm a big fan of wide-angle shots and 35mm cameras with a 28mm lens area rarity so this one worked out perfectly for me. My only complaint is what another reviewer had complained about... the on/off switch. The on/off switch has a hair trigger. If you even brush the camera against anything it turns on or off. This is more of a nuisance than anything, but it's a big nuisance. Never-the-less this camera has replaced my beloved Olympus SLR as my 35mm camera of choice.
From A Seasoned Traveler.......2002-12-06
My husband and I took this camera on a two year, around the world trip. We shot over 200 rolls of film and never had any troubles. Its a great camera...excellent zoom, easy to use, nice features and terrific photos. We highly recommend it.
Fantastic but have had problems.......2001-08-22
I have really enjoyed having the 28 wide angle lensse but I have had two of these cameras and have had problems with the on / off switch in both! I am lothed to part with the wide angle but I am likewise lothed to buy another on of these cameras. I have taken many fantastic photos before the cameras (both of them clapped out!) I dont know am I the only one to have seen this!
A Neat Camera.......2001-05-12
I,ve had for a while now, it is beautifully made and feels great when it is used or just static, zoom controls excellent, everything is easy to use, very well placed, excellent ergonomics, the 28mm end is great to have and 90 mm is just fine, the problem I find with this camera is, while the lens is quite good, it is not really excellent or on par with this focal range of other manufacturers, this is not normal for pentax, as this really is a first rate camera with an ordinary lens, the quality of the photos I,ve received is just ordinary, have tried different films and developers, always the same situation, just ordinary shots that are not representative of what a Pentax can be expected to do.
Almost perfect.......2000-10-23
I've been looking for the perfect travel camera for years, and I'm satisfied that this is close enough. The camera was recommended to me by a saleswoman in a camera shop, who told me it had the best flash of any compact automatic camera. What appealed to me most, however, was that its power zoom is much smoother and quieter than any I've tried before. I also liked the clear, bright viewfinder. I immediately took it to Jamaica for a three week research trip and shot 10 36-exposure rolls of Fuji 400 slide film. The pictures were consistently outstanding, better than I've had from my Nikon and Olympus and better than my travel partner's Leica. And the saleswoman was right about the flash, too; my flash shots were if anything better than my non-flash shots! The camera was easy to carry, being light and compact. Comfortable to hold. Sturdy, too. Simple to use, but with some useful over-ride features such as an infinity lock for shooting through glass, a spot focus lock, and six flash modes. All these compact automatics look alike, butI think this one has a bigger brain. I was learning towards a 38-105 zoom but the saleswoman talked me into the 28-90, and I'm glad she did; I used the 28 mm setting a lot. I got 10 rolls of 36 and at least 2 rolls of 24 from my first battery, which seemed fine, but it went dead without warning, so carry a spare. I have only two small complaints about this camera. First, the automatic fill flash comes on often (and unnecessarily?) in bright sunlight, which is annoying. And second, the delay in the red-eye reduction is too long, so subjects think the picture has been taken and move before the shutter goes off. In spite of these quibbles, this has become my number one camera, and I expect to use it for many years. I gave my Nikon slr and my Olympus clamshell to my daughters, because this Pentax has the best of both of them. It is simple enough for a novice and good enough for some professional use, so I can recommend it to anyone.
