They can be useful, but generally, if you plug it in and you have a 1 gig connection, all 8 wires are OK.

The tester only tests for continuity and not "quality of signal".

But I would get one so that if you don't have a working connection, you know which wire(s) to pull out and redo (if on the punch down end) so you don't have to rip out the working ones.

Of course, if an RJ45 is badly crimped, you can only chop the cable and recrimp
