I have the fox and hound. Same thing. I perfer analog so you find the tone faster. To tone out a live jack I plug a stripped patch cable into the jack, use the alligator clips and clip to 2 different color wires (except brown, its poe). Inside the switch the pairs have continuity so clipping to 2 wires from different pairs will break continuity and bring the tone back. The reason alot of these (like the fluke triplett and tempo) have an rj11 and put the tone down the blue pair is cuz they were designed for voice, not data.

I bought one about two months ago, starting to love it.

I can make another one. I need to go over the 4-pair tester and more detail on the digital tone/probe. What else should I cover?

@@LowVoltageNation from what I can see it looks like it has the ability to test every individual wire from end-to-end to see if it is wired correctly (CAT5or6

I wonder how this compares to the Fluke Intellitone 200. Does anyone have experience with both?

Do you know if it will work on an active network for a PoE switch? I have a Fluke intellitone Pro200 that will just send tone across the whole switch if it's PoE.

Would it detect lighting cable the other side of plasterboard? I have no idea where the electrician has left cables for the down lights.

You didn't talk about testing the cable itself. I was curious about using this as a map tester after terminating.

I need to make a follow-up video on this but I did short one of the 4-pair tester: kzread.infoaNnQKa26nNc?si=J3j_fX1CI6HYlqk4

needs a metal tip to short the tone.

What happens if i clip them on live wire

I'll make another video showing, but as far as I can tell you can only use the digital tone with the 4pair plug not the clips. I just tested on a PoE switch.

***********The Toner-Pro transmits frequencies on non-energized wires only************

Be careful with this unit. They auto shut off which is a MAJOR pain on a big job.. imagine trying to find the wire across the building when the generator has auto shut off. It nearly went out the window after the 5th time. No way to turn off auto shutoff.
