You can pick up a good tester at most any local computer store, or buy one from a reputable online store, they will probably run you from 50-80 dollars, depeneding on what features you want. I have a very nice one from Belkin, that was about 90 dollars, and it includes all the features you would need for testing both Cat5 and coax cables.

A friend of mine loves getting on Ebay to purchase components like you are looking for. Sometimes you can get some exceptional devices for less than retail prices. I'd definitley go with a Belkin product, but Paladin Tools makes a nice cable tester that checks serial, DUN, Centronics, and Network Coax and Rj45, and it is pretty affordable.

Happy hunting.
