Microtest (now Fluke) Microscanner Pro and a Progressive (now Tempo)
200FP are the best I have found. Able to accurately tone a 1 mile 25
pair telephone cable and over 300' cat5e.

The true TDR, wiremap, PC/Hub ID, 10/100 link readout, hub/switch port
flash and optional ID kit make the Microscanner worth the additional $$$.
