Fast or cheap, you can't have both. I'd really like to have a nice Fluke
but that ain't gonna happen.

What is the recommendation for an inexpensive cable tester that can
give distance of cable. I’ve got a project where the customer is
requiring the length information so I thought, maybe time to add it
to the toolbox. It will be used very, very infrequently since we
aren’t a cable company so bare bones functionality is all it needs.
