The hand tools and testers a cabling job actually uses, all from Tripp Lite by Eaton: continuity testers for Cat5e, Cat6, phone and coax cables, multi-function testers with a wire tracker, a fiber tester with a power meter, light source and visual fault locator, and RJ45 crimpers, including one with a built-in tester and one for pass-through plugs.
A continuity tester tells you the pairs are landed in the right order. A tone generator and tracker tells you which cable in the bundle is which. Keep both in the bag.
