Wire Tracer Tone Generator & Probe Kit

Trace, identify, and troubleshoot non-energized wiring with this Wire Tracer Tone Generator & Probe Kit. Designed for professional electrical, telecommunications, networking, and low-voltage applications, this versatile kit helps locate individual wires and cable pairs across common telephone, Ethernet, speaker, coaxial, video, and data cable systems.

The professional-grade tone generator provides five distinct tone cadences for easier wire and pair identification. Its angled bed-of-nails clips securely attach to wires, while the RJ11 plug can connect to telephone or RJ45 data jacks for toning compatible wire pairs. The tone generator also checks continuity and polarity, with results displayed through clearly labeled LEDs. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

The tracing probe detects the transmitted tone and features an adjustable-volume speaker for audible signal detection. A 3.5 mm headphone jack allows compatible headphones to be used in noisy environments, while the built-in worklight helps illuminate dark spaces during cable tracing. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

The durable probe includes a non-metallic replaceable conductive tip and a terminal block that can help confirm the toned pair without disturbing other services. The complete kit includes the tone generator, tracing probe, batteries, and a padded divided carrying pouch for convenient storage and transportation. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
