Tone Generator Kit for Network Cable Collatio, Wire Tracer Circuit Tester, 200EP High Accuracy Cable Toner Detector, Inductive Amplifier and Probe Kit with Adjustable Volume

I successfully traced out some mysterious wires, unit is audible, and very easy to use. Great value.

The wiring closet for our house was an utter disaster when we moved in. Hardly anything was labeled and it was a major rat's nest. I was able to use this to help identify cables correctly so I could not only label them, but also re-route them in an orderly manner.

I retired from telco, and I've gone through many, many of these. They'll come with different names, but this is the 100% same product that $ for the name. Treat it moderately well, and it'll last you forever.*tool trick* #1 When the tone generator battery is fresh it will bleed signal all over the nearby conductors. Instead, switch to the tone function and leave it on the counter overnight. This will tone (pun) it down a bit. After that it'll settle down to a sweet spot. #2 Power check. These toners are capable of recognizing up to 90V ac/dc, and can take 120V for judicious periods. Attatch it to to your item in question? Lit? You have power. #3 Loud or bleeding over situations: With the probe. Place the speaker near your ear, touch the tip with your index finger. Then press 'on' with your finger and adjust the volume with your middle. Using the spare tip, finger, etc. that safety allows, to probe, hear, and isolate. #4 Under ideal conditions, on a hot battery, you can send signal on 24 gauge wire for ~5/8 mile (1km). #5 Fence broken. Tone here/not here. #6 Stereo; will send signal to after amp speakers. Networks (buy a bag of M to M 8 pin couplers to be a hero) and chase cable issues. NOTE: I've tried all of the popular network specific products and this is the consistent best.I always carried 2 of the generators, with the signals set to different tones. Saves Hella amounts of walking. The continuity feature is great for a quick test for a short.

Total p.o.s.! Stopped working right after the return window, while it does look and sound like the real mccoy, it is total garbage. Either spend the money on the real brand or try to find a used one.

Annoying, but it works
