In fact i was once told by my senior that "A network kit works like a rope to you when you are sinking in a everglade or river". Acting on his advice i always invested few bucks on my networks kits and i must say that they always paid me back, I suggest to my juniors that for earning a good bread and butter you must spend on quality tools.

​These network kits are not only recommended for a professional technician but also equally good and must have for home common usage for your little home based LAN.
