I would like to find a inexpensive way to test a RJ 45 cable, I don't want to make the tester but I would like to find a cheap one that works

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Do you want to check RJ 45 Crimping or Cable Quality ..?

You could take two female Rj45 and punch them down to a cat5 cable between the two. Then cut the cable in half. Connect your toner to each pair one at a time going from one side to the other. Turn the toner to continuity. Take your patch cable and connect to the female ports. If the pair is good you will get a green light on the toner. If you need further help I can make you a cable and take a photo.
