Tone & Probe Kits

Network Cable and Port Identifier

Traditional Tone Generators were designed for one primary mission; to identify the termination point of a cable. Most toners on the market offer RJ-11 hard-wired modular connection. That's because they were designed mostly to be used in the Telecommunication market. This does nothing for the LAN technician who is faced with Ethernet RJ-45 jacks or patch cords. The CableTracker Tone & Probe Kits were designed to accommodate both Computer Network cabling and Telephony cabling. There are 2 types of Tone & Probe Kits:

  • The CableTracker CTK1015 Tone Generator traces cables with two different tone frequencies and patterns.  The CTK1015 also identify cable termination ports by  blinking the LEDs on the switch.
  • The CableTracker CTK1215 Ultra High Power Tone Generator is up to 10 times more powerful than other generators and traces tone signals on high performance twisted pair, coaxial and even shielded cables. It also test continuity for Opens, Shorts and High Resistance Shorts.

Overview

The CableTracker Network Tone & Probe Kit is designed for network managers and technicians with a convenient RJ45 interface which allows connection to a network.

The CableTracker CTK1015 has 2 different trace tone frequencies and 2 different audio patterns for flexibility to optimize cable identification in a wide variety of network configurations The CTK1015 features a Port ID function that blinks the link light verifying cable connectivity. This feature also provides a simple and effective method to identify switch or hub port assignments on active networks. Three different blink rates are provided to ensure compatibility with equipment from a wide range of manufacturers.

The Ultra High Power CableTracker CTK1215 Tone Generator enables signal detection on cables miles away and makes hearing a tone through walls, ceilings and enclosures easier with a power level far greater than other tone generators. The amazing 190mWatts of output power reduces maintenance times by making it easier to trace and identify cables used in Network, CATV, Audio/Video, Security and Telephone applications.  The unit has a continuous run mode and an Auto power down mode to conserve battery life. Quick continuity test allows the CTK1215 to detect Open, Shorts and High Resistance Shorts between the test leads to verify the wire is good.
