Can I remotely test Ethernet cables where the ends are in different rooms?

When you say remotely, Im slightly confused. If you are asking if you can plug in one side of the cable in, and then check on another side of the cable then yes. Cable test just requires that you have each side on one of the testers. The way it tests it, is by showing lights in order if they are open or swapped. Since both sides have lights you can check from either end. I don't know what the max length is, but Im sure its around the 300 feet / 100 meters.

Yup. USB on one end, plug in an ethernet cable on the other to add it to the LAN.

The power (POE) on the ethernet cable can be from either a POE switch or an external POE injector

Yes, but that's not because of the connector- that's because you're laying a 2000 foot ethernet run. Don't EVER do this. Ethernet cables are not meant to be run that long and over runs of this lengh you will have problems on account of electrical resistance- at best, you'll have packet loss and a spotty connection. At worst, you have an electrical fire. Please, for the safety of everyone in your building, break up those 1000 foot cables into runs of 328 feet or less and connect them with repeaters or switches.

No but any Ethernet cable works fine. It's well worth the price and it worked great for me !

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.)

Yes. I did this downstairs with a second adapter to switch Ethernet to multiple devices. The first one upstairs gets Ethernet directly from my router.

It is not possible. Why can't you run another ethernet cable from your router directly to the TV?

Yes you should be able to do that. Just imagine your electrical wiring as a very long ethernet cable once you have hooked up the powerline adapters.

If you are highly tech-savvy you might be able to. You can contact the vendor for help. I ran Ethernet cables for both of mine because we had trouble getting a wireless connection to work reliably.

The meter uses RS232 from the controller, they just happened to use a cat 5 cable for the connection.

It will test cat6 runs for continuity and pair swaps but it's not a performance or bandwidth certification tool. It's just a basic DC tester.

I have not tried this myself, but you may also want to look at powerline network adapters.

To do this with hardware, you need a switch that can do "port mirroring", which you probably won't find for cheap. You could also do the gateway trick omer suggested, which is of course free, but then if your PC goes down, so does your network.

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.

I agree with Amanda's comment. Ethernet cable from router to computer is only for the initial set-up.

if your talking about the internet ,yea you can use an Ethernet cord from your DSL or what ever you use. If you don't have wifi
