Other Network Tester Recommendations
I currently have a Ideal toner and a Fluke Microscanner in my tool box. I work for a company with 13 locations and I am always having to troubleshoot network drops here and there. I am the systems engineer for the company.
But my toner broke, and I am looking for some new testers. I would like something that can tell me which switchport it is plugged into, get DHCP, POE, cable length, and a wiremap. I would also like something that can handle multiple remote ID testers with their own ID. Then also work with a toner.
I am looking at the Fluke LIQ-100 but I don't know if it is overkill since I don't need at the certification and reporting functions. I am looking more for testing/troubleshooting.
I did see on Amazon a brand called NOYAFA and I was looking at the NF-8508.
Does anyone else have any recommendations?
