UGREEN NW167 Network & Telephone Cable Tester – UG-10950

The UGREEN NW167 Network & Telephone Cable Tester (UG-10950) is a compact diagnostic tool designed for testing, verifying, and troubleshooting Ethernet network and telephone cables. It is ideal for network technicians, CCTV installers, IT professionals, electricians, offices, data centres, and users carrying out LAN or telephone cabling installations.

Supporting RJ45 Ethernet and RJ11/RJ12 telephone connections, the tester helps identify common cabling problems such as open circuits, short circuits, crossed wires, and incorrect wiring. Its sequential LED indicators provide a quick visual indication of conductor continuity, making cable verification easier during installation and maintenance.

The NW167 consists of a main tester and a detachable remote testing unit, allowing cables to be checked even when their ends are located at different points, such as network outlets, patch panels, offices, or different sides of a room.
