All,

Was looking to get a cable tester, but i just want a simple tester which you can hook up to 1 wire, and then on the other end have something which beeps or lights up if you have the right wire.

Most all these devices are usb testers/upt testers/cat5/cat6/coax, but it does not say just 1 single wire.

You guys have a website with a nice device for this? (i just want a done deal solution, dont want to build something)

Thanks

I think you are looking for a "kabel tracer"

Even better then i wanted it to be! Since the electrician just have like loads of cable sticking out in 1 of my rooms, i dont know where everything goes. I can just hook 1 end in some room and i only have to wave it like a magic wand on the cables down below and it will make a sound (and will increase sound) if i go towards the right cable.

Excellent way to search a cable.
