Cable tracers identify an individual cable among a bundle, at a patch panel or behind a wall plate, saving time when tracing runs on site without existing labelling.
How they work
This range from Trend Networks is supplied as a tone and probe kit, sending a tone signal down the cable that is picked up with a probe at the other end. A remote kit with numbered RJ45 sockets lets several outlets be identified in turn, supplied as a set.
For full certification rather than simple tracing, see LAN Cable Certifiers or Cable Qualifiers, and check basic continuity with Continuity Testers from the Copper Testers range.

What is a cable tracer used for?
It identifies an individual cable among a bundle or behind a patch panel, using a tone generator and probe so the correct cable can be found without existing labels.
How is this kit supplied?
This Trend Networks kit is supplied as a set, combining a tone generator and amplifier probe with a remote kit of numbered RJ45 sockets, numbered 1 to 12, for identifying multiple outlets in turn.
What if I need to certify a cable rather than just trace it?
See LAN Cable Certifiers or Cable Qualifiers within the same Copper Testers range, or check basic continuity with a continuity tester.
