There are some expensive testers out there i personally have a fluke DSP for cat5e/6 cabling but these are not cheap so it may be worth your while getting a pro in to run a proper test on your wiring breff

Its not me with the problem I've got a Fluke TDR/Network tester!!!!

Mr Happy,

what you do in the privacy of your bed and play with under the sheets should remain a private matter!

Hi guys, I'm thinking of buying an ACT 620 Cable Tracer(i think thats the number, about 99 pounds). they claim it can find cables up to a meter away!!! anyone used one? also does anyone know if there is there a device that can locate a "short" in a cable.

I use the BT one which is quite old now but works.

I have seen the ACT tracers as Initial engineers have them. They are much better at tracing cables than mine. Mine tends to buzz for any electrical interference going but the ACT ones were very defined.

As with most ACT kit I think you can look around to find it cheaper especially if you know who makes it for them.

This also goes for the false ceiling gun, anybody used one of these yet? It fires a lumionus dart many metres through a false ceiling carrying a line behind it. I once knew an engineer who did the same sort of thing with a Crossbow . Funny enough he got sacked in the end.
