Network Wiring Tester

(Summer Circuits 2010 article)

Like all its counterparts, this network wiring tester comprises two elements, a transmitter unit, powered and fitted at the network start point, and a receiver unit, passive, which can be moved around from socket to socket. Each of these units carries eight LEDs, identically labelled 1 to 8. By operating a push-button in manual mode, or using a clock in automatic, the eight LEDs light up in sequence on the transmitter unit and obviously they should do the same on the receiver unit.
