Okay here's a good question! there is no question that Fluke makes some of the best stuff but if you are working for a big company they've got the expensive stuff. I had to test 152 VoIP lines punched down in 110 blocks and ran to panduit jacks with an SLT 3 tester it's the gray plastic Piece of junk that has a remote with 4 green lights on one side and a set of 4 green and 4 red on the other side it gives you nothing but the basic yes and no it doesn't accurately tell you if you have an open either. let me tell you they tried to have me test 152 lines all four pairs with one of these that only did a single pair at a time. CAN YOU SAY BUSY WORK. I told them I'd get it done I took a standard Cat5e patch cable cut the end off terminated each line individually into a loose C4 turned it on the vertical and taped them together and made a ganged together tester to test all four pairs at one time which then plugged right into the SLT 3 and the C4 prongs make contact with the prongs in the 110 block that already was equipt and completed with the C4's and the one C5. it might look ghetto but it worked. I sure wasn't gonna spend my day with a single pair tester 608 pairs and testing alone so I have to walk back and forth (guess they think I'm fat or something LOL)
