Can this unit test both patch (straight) and cross-over cables?

Yes, should be fine for crossover or send to receive cables..its a great unit..
1776953
yes it can - i have only used it for straight. i like it cheap and easy to use

If you mean where two wires are switched between corresponding pins, from one end to the other, I believe it will show an error on those wires. It appears it only shows good if you are 1 to 1, 2 to 2, etc. I made up network cables through my house and one would not work. Borrowed one of these testers from a friend and discovered that I had two wires swapped. Fixed it and ordered myself a unit that day. The coax ends are BNC so I bought two BNC to F, and BNC to RCA, adapters. Great unit for the price.

Im going to try if not send me your email titled multitester through amazon I will send a copy i made from my manual

I ordered the cables per specifications but did not hookup and do not know the answer to the question.

1. Yes, you'll need one for each end of the wire you are testing. 2. Assuming that the CAT5 tester works the same way (as a continuity tester) then it should work.

I used the Straight thru CAt 5 diagram UTPhere is a link to photos diagram make sure you have a cat 5 tester to test your connections and also a toner if you have multiple cables and a good crimp pliers for rj45.https://www.google.com/search?q=cat+straight+thru+utp+diagram&rlz;=1C1OPRB_enUS572US573&espv;=2&biw;=1280&bih;=675&tbm;=isch&img;il=Q2kx_Tl5xqyMQM%253A%253BZNnYj7I2Urld2M%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.computercablestore.com%25252Fstraight-through_crossover_rollover.aspx&source;=iu&pf;=m&fir;=Q2kx_Tl5xqyMQM%253A%252CZNnYj7I2Urld2M%252C_&usg;=__Pr7hGfOkkWPICEgSFHNcGWZ-sEA%3D I used the Straight thru CAt 5 diagram UTPhere is a link to photos diagram make sure you have a cat 5 tester to test your connections and also a toner if you have multiple cables and a good crimp pliers for rj45.https://www.google.com/search?q=cat+straight+thru+utp+diagram&rlz;=1C1OPRB_enUS572US573&espv;=2&biw;=1280&bih;=675&tbm;=isch&img;il=Q2kx_Tl5xqyMQM%253A%253BZNnYj7I2Urld2M%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.computercablestore.com%25252Fstraight-through_crossover_rollover.aspx&source;=iu&pf;=m&fir;=Q2kx_Tl5xqyMQM%253A%252CZNnYj7I2Urld2M%252C_&u...; » Read More I used the Straight thru CAt 5 diagram UTPhere is a link to photos diagram make sure you have a cat 5 tester to test your connections and also a toner if you have multiple cables and a good crimp pliers for rj45.https://www.google.com/search?q=cat+straight+thru+utp+diagram&rlz;=1C1OPRB_enUS572US573&espv;=2&biw;=1280&bih;=675&tbm;=isch&img;il=Q2kx_Tl5xqyMQM%253A%253BZNnYj7I2Urld2M%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.computercablestore.com%25252Fstraight-through_crossover_rollover.aspx&source;=iu&pf;=m&fir;=Q2kx_Tl5xqyMQM%253A%252CZNnYj7I2Urld2M%252C_&usg;=__Pr7hGfOkkWPICEgSFHNcGWZ-sEA%3D « Show Less

I don't see why not, they will show up as two separate com ports so if your wiring and configuration is correct you should be able to perform the test.

I should work. The unit comes with multiple cable options for different connections.

As far as I know....Pinouts don't change from cat 5, cat5e or cat6. If you have information that says "pinouts are different between the catrgories of cable" I would love to see it. I have owned it for a while and have used it to certify a full cable plant rework on a small office network. Retrieving the certifications is a bit clunky and naming each test on the device is a pain, but other than that it does exactly what the information says it does.

The test components are the two pieces shown in the picture, with the terminator with the blue cap on the left, and the tester on its right. These parts are threaded for f-connectors and get attached to the finished cable to enable the test to be performed. If you can somehow adapt these parts to type-N connectors then it *might* be possible to test your configuration, though I do not know for sure.

Hello Joe,Yes. This cable can be used to patch cable. Please let me know if you have any additional questions!Sincerely,Taylor W.VIVO

It will certify the cable for throughput, but not verify that you are using the correct pin outs if that's what you mean.

Nope. Just measures distance. If I had my choice I would not purchase again. Pin one of the unit stopped working. I bought a new adapter that goes on the end of the cable and it was actually pin 1 on the tester.

Yes, but if you need test resistence this devices dont do that. This device working for continuity.

Yes, this device would be able to test any outlets that you have. You can trip the GFI with the button if you have one on the line (which you should somewhere.)

This is a crossover adapter. It takes a straight through patch cable and makes it a crossover cable.

Yes it works for testing GFCI outlets (simulates a 'trip') and also checks any other type of outlet for proper wiring (hot/neutral/ground in the proper wiring spot)
