Sounds a good bit of kit.
Tone testers are useful things to have.

A good place for looking for this type of kit, or for network sitches,
routers, cabing,
cabinets, tools, you name it, is at the Networks show at the NEC.
I haven't been for a couple of years, but always found it a very worthwhile
day.
Good opportunity to meet with your favoured suppliers and have a chat, and
have a wander
to see new stuff.

Just found the webpage - it is on June 24-26

BTW, IIRC trains from Euston can be pricey before 9:30.
