Why Choose LanCableTest
The All-in-One Diagnostic Tool for Installers
Stop wasting time on site with basic LED checkers. The ProTrak is a comprehensive cable continuity tester and fault locator designed to streamline your workflow. Whether you are terminating Cat6 in a busy comms room or troubleshooting a faulty home network, this device provides clear, actionable data. It instantly identifies crossed pairs, short circuits, and open connections on a clear LCD display.
Pinpoint Breaks with Length Measurement
One of the most frustrating aspects of network maintenance is finding where a cable has been damaged behind a wall or under a floorboard. Using advanced capacitance measurement, this cable tester rj45 calculates the exact length of the cable and pinpoints the distance to the break. If a cable is severed at 14 metres, the screen will tell you, saving hours of manual tracing and drywall damage.
Map Multiple Runs with 8 Remotes
Unlike standard testers that only provide a single remote, the ProTrak kit comes supplied with 8 individually numbered remote units (ID1 to ID8). Plug them into various wall ports around an office, return to the patch panel, and rapidly map out the entire network infrastructure in minutes. Paired with the included tone generator and probe, it is the ultimate wire tracer tool for structured cabling jobs.

Customer Reviews
Brilliant bit of kit. The 8 remotes alone have saved me hours on office refits. Being able to map a 24-port patch panel without doing laps of the building is a game changer. Much better value than my old Klein.
Used the cable fault locator feature on my first day to find a break in a Cat6 run that another builder had put a screw through. It told me the break was at 8.5 metres. Measured it out, lifted the floorboard, and there it was. Paid for itself instantly.
Very solid network continuity tester. The tone probe is loud and clear, and the canvas bag keeps everything tidy in the van. Dropped a star because I wish the main unit used a rechargeable lithium battery instead of AAs, but it's a minor gripe.
I'm a CCTV installer and rely on this daily. The RJ45 continuity testing is instant, and the screen is easy to read. Delivery from LanCableTest was next day as promised. Excellent UK service.
Great phone cable tester and LAN tracer. The earphone jack on the probe is really useful when working in noisy server rooms. The plastic casing feels a bit light, but it's survived a few drops so far.
I bought this for a home renovation where I was running 30+ Ethernet cables. The wire tracing tool and the 8 IDs made terminating the rack so simple. If you are doing serious DIY networking, don't bother with the £10 cheap testers, get this.
As an IT support tech, this is exactly what I needed. It does everything the premium brands do. The cable length tester is highly accurate once calibrated. Fantastic product.
