🧰 Budget Network Cable Testers Reviewed! 🔌 Cheap Tools That Just Work 💡

In this video, I take a close look at two budget-friendly network cable testers to see if they're worth adding to your toolbox. As someone working in I.T., I rely on cable testers to quickly diagnose, trace, and verify Ethernet cables — but you don’t need to work in tech to find these useful!

Today, so many devices in the home now rely on wired Ethernet: Smart TVs, CCTV, Xbox, PlayStation, Sky boxes and more. Whether you're a DIYer, home network enthusiast, or just want to troubleshoot a dodgy connection, a simple cable tester can save you a ton of time and head-scratching.

⚠️ This is an honest, unsponsored review. I bought both of these testers myself:

✅ SplinkTech RJ45-TC – Basic, but does the job (£7)
✅ Jenaborm Wire Tracker – Adds tone tracking & extras (£20)

They're small, lightweight, and ideal to chuck in your toolbox or drawer. Watch the full review and see how they perform in real-world tests.
