Why Choose EthernetCA
All-in-One Field Diagnostics
The EthernetCA Pro-Scan is the ultimate LAN cable tester for UK network professionals. Engineered to replace multiple devices in your toolbag, this versatile unit allows you to trace unknown cables, test wiremaps for faults, measure installed cable length, and verify active ports from one handheld unit. Whether you're working on a new structured cabling install or troubleshooting a messy comms cabinet, the Pro-Scan delivers accurate results instantly.
Advanced PoE Testing & Safety
Don't risk blowing up expensive network equipment. Our tester features advanced Power over Ethernet (PoE) detection, allowing you to safely identify both standard (af/at) and non-standard PoE voltages (5V-60V). Combined with the built-in Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) detector on the receiver probe, you can ensure your working environment is safe before you even strip a wire.
Precision Cable Length Measurement
Stop guessing how much cable is left in the wall or where a break has occurred. Using advanced TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) technology, this RJ45 cable tester measures CAT5, CAT6, and CAT6a cable lengths up to 200 metres with pinpoint accuracy. Locate exact fault distances (opens or shorts) quickly, dramatically reducing your time spent on patch panel troubleshooting.
Flawless Tracing in Noisy Environments
Finding the right cable in a bundle of hundreds is no longer a headache. The included tone tracer probe features both digital and analogue scanning modes, cutting through AC interference to help you locate target cables behind walls or in dense patch panels. The port flashing function also allows you to quickly identify corresponding switch ports by flashing the hub light directly from the wall outlet.

Customer Reviews
Brilliant piece of kit for the van. The length measurement feature is spot on-helped me find a break in a CAT6 run exactly 14 metres into a ceiling void. Saved me hours of pulling new cable.
As an IT technician, I'm always dealing with unlabeled patch panels. The port flashing and digital tone tracing on this LAN cable tester make identifying the right port effortless. Highly recommend.
Very capable network cable tracer. The PoE detection is a lifesaver before plugging in sensitive equipment. Dropped one star just because it doesn't come with the 9V battery for the probe, but otherwise excellent.
I've used basic continuity testers for years, but upgrading to this all-in-one unit is a game changer. The screen is clear, and the USB-C charging on the main unit means I'm not constantly buying AA batteries.
Fantastic value for money compared to the big name brands. Tested over 50 CAT6a drops on a commercial install last week. The wiremap and length features worked flawlessly every time.
Great tool for diagnosing home network issues. The interface takes a little getting used to if you aren't a pro, but the manual is clear. Successfully traced all the messy ethernet cables the previous owners left behind.
The NCV feature on the probe is a brilliant addition for safety. Used it in a messy comms cabinet where data and mains were bundled together. The digital anti-jamming scan mode cuts right through the noise.
