Was just looking at this a few hours ago and now it pops up on a slick deal. Ordered.

Now I'm hoping this will help be track down a wire break in my rear view camera on my truck.

I have this unit, and it worked well for tracing some cat5 runs about 150 feet back to the patch panel. I've never used a name brand wire tracker to know if they have more options, but this worked fine for my limited uses.

Looks like a good deal. I haven't seen any of these for under $20.

I will be making new RJ45 CAT 6 connections with bulk CAT 6 that I ran throughout the house. Will this test these long runs? Or do I need to plug in both sides of the cable to something to do an accurate test?

The testers have to be plugged into both ends of the cable, in order to test it. I've never used this particular tester, but a tester, in general, should be able to test long runs.

Can this be used to trace livewire back to the breaker?

Be sure to disconnect the power or you will fry the unit. Turn the breakers off and test the hot wire and it should work. The neutrals and ground will still be interconnected so those wires will not work

Yep, from the website
"▲WIRE TRACKER - It can trace not only Ethernet LAN wires, but also electrical and speaker wires when connecting to the alligator clip. In this situation, the wires must be in power-off status, otherwise the units will be damaged. It is recommended to stripe down some of the wires when connecting through the clip. Select "SCAN". Emitter works properly if the "SCAN" indicator is on. Use the receiver to find target wires"

This is the reason I'm getting it. I work in IT and have always wanted a cat wire tracer, but really never needed on. I do however want/need something to trace outlets to circuits to map a houses circuit breakers. So, this might come in handy there and give me the cat-wire tester as a added bonus. The downside is the wire needs to be powered down to use, so you can't map them without interrupting power.
