Skeptical about structured cabling certifications until I saw the data

I used to think certifying every run was a waste of time and money. Then a client in Austin had a 25% fail rate on a 200-run job, and the fluke showed me exactly which terminations were loose. Has anyone else had a cheap tester miss stuff that a certifier caught later?

Cheap testers will lie to your face every time.

Man, 30 bucks for a multimeter at Harbor Freight burned me twice in one week before I learned my lesson. False readings on a simple outlet test had me chasing a phantom short for three hours. Solidarity, man - you pay for accuracy or you pay in time and frustration, plain and simple.
