Detailed information

Make your cable tracing simple and stress-free with the Tone & Probe Wire Identifier from IDEAL Electrical™. When you’re tracking down de-energized copper data cables, this easy-to-use kit permits you to quickly find and follow wires without damaging cable insulation, unplugging systems, or conducting time-consuming tests. With the push of a single button, the amplifier probe makes the tone signal audible at the other end of the cable or along the path of an exposed cable. The continuity test mode verifies continuity, while the fixed lead set with long 31” leads enhances the connection range. Experience all the core features you need to troubleshoot and locate voice, data, and coax cables with this cost-effective, convenient Tone & Probe solution.

  • EASY TRACING: Locate and trace de-energized copper data cables easily and quickly with one-button operation
  • CONTINUITY TESTING: Verify wire continuity using the included alligator clip leads

  • IMPROVED RANGE: Fixed lead set with 31” leads provides extended connection range
  • USER FRIENDLY FEATURES: Adjustable volume knob enables noise control while the fixed, non-sparking plastic probe tip helps enhance safety
  • PACKAGE INCLUDES: Tone generator, amplifier probe with RJ11/12 and alligator clip leads, and two 9V batteries

I would absolutely recommend these lever connectors and will surely be using them in the future! Those connectors were super easy to work with, didn’t seem flimsy like other brands, and were super easy to install as well as remove
