CABLETRACKER

The CABLETRACKER Network Tone and Probe Kit model CTK1015 is designed for network managers and technicians. Toning an active LAN circuit can disrupt network traffic and is difficult to track due to cable twist and tone bleed. The CABLETRACKER Network Tone and Probe Kit 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. Traditional toning with two different tone
frequencies and patterns is provided for non-active circuit tracing.

Blink the Lights to ID Ports
Tone and probe kits were designed for one primary mission, to identify the termination point of a cable. Unfortunately, these were designed for telephony, not network maintenance. In the Networking environment cable terminations typically end in hub or switch ports. The CableTracker incorporates three link light activation speeds (blink rates) to easily identify the cable termination port by simply looking for the corresponding blink rate on the port light. Three speeds ensure the widest compatibility available.

Easy Ethernet or Telephony Connection
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 Network ID Kit was designed to accommodate both Computer Network cabling and Telephony cabling. The Signal Generator (CT10) incorporates a female RJ-45 jack and detachable alligator clips for punch down blocks or unterminated cables.

Time Saving Features
The CableTracker incorporates several time and money saving features not found on other Tone and Probe kits. The RJ-45 male connection and the alligator clips are detachable, meaning cord failure won’t obsolete the your tester. Auto Power Down extends battery life and a built-in low battery circuit warns when battery replacement is required, saving unexpected down time searching for a new battery when the tester just goes dead. The CableTracker Probe (CT15) incorporated volume control, nonconductive plastic tip and complete compatibility with existing toners on the market.
