Please log in for more thread options I need to get a UTP cable tester with trace and tone generator capability. The trace/tone generator must be able to be used on a live circuit without any damage to the tester or the NIC / Switch that may be on the other end. I say this because I accidentally blew out a Compucable CTK-MNCT-RJT. I was not aware the line was plugged into a switch at the other end. The instructions for the tester say, "NEVER CONNECT THE TESTER TO A LIVE WIRE. DOING SO MAY DAMAGE THE TESTER AND/OR THE EQUIPMENT". Well jeez, if I knew where the other end of the line was, I wouldn't have had to do the trace in the first place! Sounds like a catch-22 to me..... Anyhow.... If anyone can recommend a UTP combination cable tester / tracer / tone generator that can handle a live circuit without any damage to itself or any networking equipment, I’d be much obliged. Thanks in advance... | |||||||||||||||||||

Thanks for your reply. I think that may be a little more than I need. But while I was on their web site, I did see the IntelliTone Toner and Probe, http://www.flukenetworks.com/us/LAN/Handheld+Testers/IntelliTone/Overview.htm Comments? | |||||||||||||||||||

It looks like the Intellitone doesn't spot split pairs, am I right ? What's the difference between the Intellitone 100 and 200 model ? -- a d y k e s @ p a n i x . c o m ---- | |||||||||||||||||||
