When I unplugged and tested with cable tester I found 1 open conductor. What is a inexpensive but reliable Ethernet tester. I've seen some that flash connection light on switch to help locate which port, that would be nice feature.

All we're really looking for at that level is continuity so it comes down to who made the tester. Personally I really like Fluke. If in doubt you won't go wrong with their products.
