A tick means one listing published something the other did not, or published a better figure. It does not mean the product is better, and the column is not a score out of anything: a maker who says less loses lines here without losing a comparison. The two verdicts below are where the page is settled.

Which of the two, for which household

deleyCON MK5196, continuity tester for RJ11, RJ12, RJ45 and ISDN wiring

No Amazon.com offer for the deleyCON MK5196, continuity tester for RJ11, RJ12, RJ45 and ISDN wiring on October 26, 2026: it may not be buyable in the United States, which is the first thing to weigh against anything below.

The MK5196 suits installed network and phone wiring: its remote lets one end sit in a wall socket while the other is tested elsewhere. Buy the 9 V cell with it.

Buy the INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS 780094, five-in-one tester covering network, telephone, USB, FireWire and coaxial leads

The 780094 covers more cable types in one box and had an Amazon.com offer on October 26, 2026. Without a listed remote, both ends of a cable must reach the tester, which suits patch leads rather than wiring in walls.

The questions that come up before an order

Why does the remote unit matter?

A cable run through a wall has its two ends in different rooms. A remote unit sits at the far end; without one, only cables with both ends at hand can be tested.

Do they need batteries?

Yes, and neither includes one: the deleyCON names a 9 V block cell; the INTELLINET says only that no batteries are included.
