That would require ~20 locos to do what this other equipment can do for less than $200. Plus I wouldn't know what was plugged in where unless I change the device name of each loco. Thanks, but no thanks ;) Josh Reynolds :: Chief Information Officer :: SPITwSPOTS :: Ubiquiti Certified AirMax

Did you actually look at the link? :) No, I'm not looking for a generalized tester. I'm looking for a device with multiple numbered/colored rj45 plugs. You take the plugs and plug them into outlets, then take the tester to the patch panel. When you plug in the tester to each port on the patch

josh, the testum unit by jdsu had a model like this(TP600) but didn't do coax. I don't want to oversimplify this, but I can't imagine why there aren't more people making units like this...even the ones with more identifiers, I can't imagine that any of these components are that expensive
