Will this test data cable through network switch? Or just one single one wire run?

No. This tool is for testing continuity and locating cables from end to end.

can you order more tester ends (the LANmap ends) so you can have more than 5?

Instead of the VDV501-823, I purchased the VDV501-816 because it includes cable length measurement and the 823 doesn't have that feature. The only additional Lanmap ends that I see listed on Amazon are the VDV526-055 Kit which are only compatible with the VDV501-053 or the VDV501-809 Testers. You will probably have to contact Klein Tools direct about this question. I see that the VDV501-809 tester is available for sale on Amazon so maybe that is the path you should take.

Does this beep or tone for continuity testing?

No, mostly disappointing for testing. It does one job, and will fail if cable crimp sucks.
