They used to say that realm of USA, at mass adoption of new technologies this delays arriving in EU for 20 years.
This might be true few decades back, for the example of black&white VS the color TV system.
But this gap gets smaller and smaller.
USA changed first the marketing in favor of Wiring trackers tools, and started promoting them instead as LAN wires trackers tools.
They faced first, the death of copper wires as communication link, with their TV along telecommunications and about internet providers.
In other words, Europe came again second at adopting technologies these using optical fiber as connector.
But here we have now a new reality about Wiring trackers tools, as this is now a dying market.
List of usable applications this now shrinks down at servicing small hotels and LAN Cables.
Mobile phone companies, they also offer internet and data at speeds them constantly rising.
The basic Ethernet/Network Cards 100 Mbps they are now close to End Of Life.
In the positive side of things, I got my Sperry Instruments ET64220 Lan Wire Tracker.
(Tone and Probe Wire Tracer, Identifies Coax, CAT 5, Speaker, Phone, any Non-Energized Wire)
As used from USA at 2014, at a very sweet price, and now I have awareness of why.

Because now in Europe we got in the same situation as it was USA before, at 2014.
Wiring trackers tools they have very limited applications to serve. :P
About me, I do retain an light smile at my face, because there is no Chinese substitute, of this advanced Sperry Instruments ET64220
And therefore I do prefer keeping it, that selling it. ;)
