I have shielded Ethernet cables. Does this device pass the shield through?

I would say no The plugs are not shielded they are plastic.so they would not.

Well, i actually use some other Ethernet cable I had in the house, that is quite shorter, so I don't have I use the cable the floor board brought, which is super long, thatni use in the studio or giging, most likely your cable is defective. Try a different one

Yes. You will need to go through a brief setup to get the ethernet connection working.

This unit will not test throughput. It will test Ethernet pin outs and shorts with the far end adapter. It also sends a strong tone.

No - I tried this. It will act as a wireless bridge, but it only appears to bridge between another device over wi-fi, not through ethernet. I suspect they did not want to put in the extra effort to convert packets from ethernet to wi-fi and back.

Jesse,It may. The Mediabridge ethernet cables I have used have a (cheap) male plastic clip-in connector on either end. So, they are meant to hook into like ports. I have used mine to connect my modem to my laptop, but they don't work for very long. Both of mine lasted about a month before they failed. Neither could stay connected to my laptop. Hope that helps.Best to you.Cheers.

My experience has been that the Mac end of the cable does not obstruct adjacent ports. Hope this helps.

No, this allows you to power a compatible EnGenius router or access point using the ethernet cable you are already using to send data too/from the unit to your network. In other words, one less cable, or having to locate an outlet near the unit when its installed remote (in corporate installs)

Yes, it should if you have an available ethernet port on router. Caution: do not use a power strip with surge protectors when plugging in the Linksys Powerline Network Adaptor, as it may not work correctly with the surge suppressors. Plug directly into a wall outlet, or extension cord with no surge suppression.

I don't know. It uses an ethernet input, however, so it may work since I would assume the router is just a passthrough.

No. It is my understanding that it only uses the ethernet cable's copper to transmit the HDMI signal. It does not use any networking protocols. A router would not know what to do with this traffic, and would probably freak out or even damage your equipment.

Yes, it acts as a pass through. I have found it easy, just plug n play, I used it to connect blu ray players, roku box and receiver with no problem. I am currently using a Mac air port router with no problems

I wouldn't think so, it likely uses a proprietary encoding over the Ethernet cable and wouldn't get a ip address or obey the other protocols required to function over a network router/switch.

Mine does! I entered the password for my encrypted signal and the system did everything automatically. Best of all, I can SELECT either the hard-wired Ethernet or the Wi-Fi signal. The Ethernet is MUCH faster.

That is why i purchased it, not sure if it was defective, it just worked on one computer and not the other, so i have to move ethernet line to other computer when needed. For the price it may be worth a try.

Any should do. I ordered one from monoprice.com. They have shielded cables for just a few dollars.

I don't know about shielded but I'll bet Fluke tech support knows. I'm pretty sure it will tone coax cable which is shielded of course. You could use the toner attached to the shield. That would effectively remove the shield as an issue.
