No, not production. I already own a fluke DTX1800 that does everything I need a certified to do certified to gig. More of a challenge thing roo see what it was cost to get it done, how much effort, etc. Then publish it and make it available for those not able to afford such a tool.
We use ours all the time. I find I have less trouble when I start out with certified cables on it VoIP compared to when we just go calling stuff up. Same when we used to hang AP. Just prevents problems. Anyways, just a project that seems worthwhile if reasonably possible.
