| Oct 25, 2011 at 16:48 | comment | added | Andrew | @JohnGardeniers I checked the quote, $177 ex. GST so either the quote was wrong (possibly also included a Fluke tone tester?) or we got ripped off rather badly (though I'm not the one responsible for purchasing/invoices). The same unit seems to be available for ~$60 now. | |

| Oct 25, 2011 at 6:59 | comment | added | John Gardeniers | @Andrew, is that a typo? My pinout tester only cost about $20 (about 5 years ago). | |
| Oct 25, 2011 at 3:37 | comment | added | Andrew | Somewhere between the two extremes (connecting NICs vs. dB loss characteristics) there are also pinout testers, costing about $200 AUD. But the OP's request is still a shopping question. | |
| Oct 24, 2011 at 22:42 | comment | added | John Gardeniers | I don't know if it's still available but I've previously used the Fluke Cable Qualifier, which "only" cost about $900 AUD. | |
