My company needed this to test a few Cat6 cables we ran for a customer.  This works perfectly- it tested the cables, saved the results, I was able to pull the results off of it and deliver them electronically to my customer (e-mail them).  It has 0 issues.  

The batteries hold charge (3 batteries included, 1 is a spare), and 2 chargers.  
It has the calibration adapter, which it requires calibration if it is run completely down.  Calibration took about 2 minutes.
I updated the firmware on the display unit as well as the smart remote end.  Both are now updated to the latest firmware that was offered.
I included a thumb drive that has the firmware update utility on it as well as Ideal's "LT Record Manager 1200 program" which uses your laptop or desktop (Windows PC) to pull the saved tests off the tester so you can print them out or e-mail them to your customer.  The program is a little old, but worked fine on my Windows 11 PC running it in Compatibility Mode (which Windows does automatically).  

I used this tester to test Cat6 cables.  It'll test Cat6 or Cat5, and comes with the add-on tools to test fiber.  I did not test any fiber runs with it, nor did I even look into how that would work.  I bought the tester for a very specific purpose and it did that well.  Our Fluke tester was malfunctioning and I needed a tester ASAP to wrap up a job.  This tester did that well and my customer was happy.

Included are the following:
All the paper manuals and certifications that originally came with it.
The Ideal hard case, that's lockable, and the keys included.
The remote tester head.
The Main tester head.
2 RJ45 female head adapters (one per unit).  These are the heads I used for my tests.
2 RJ45 male head adapters (one per unit).  I didn't use these.
1 coupler to calibrate the units if needed.  I used this when I first got the tester.
2 power adapters for charging the batteries.
3 batteries (1 per unit, 1 spare).
a DB9 cable that you'll use to connect the Main unit to your PC.  I had to use a USB-DB9 adapter as my PC had no DB9 port.
A black thumb drive in a ziplock bag that has the software I downloaded and used to connect the testers to my PC.

2 black hard cases that contain the fiber testing heads.  I don't know much about fiber and didn't use these parts.
