Coaxial (Coax) Pocket Continuity Tester (Tracer) with Voltage Toner (Sound) and Barrel Connector Bundle, for Testing, Labeling, and Identifying coaxial Lines - Pocket Toner

I am sorting out some coax cabling under my house because while there is plenty of coax, most of the lines are not connected. I was able to use this device to match up the cables to correct jacks. Simply unscrew the bottom off of the Coax Continuity Tester that has the speaker/microphone screen looking tip. Then screw that piece into the coax cable jack in the room you are trying to identify. Then take the other portion of the device (the piece with the light on it) and go to the other end where all of your cables terminate (in my case they are just laying under my house). By process of elimination, start connecting the device to all of the cables until you see the light come on. Once it does you have found the correct cable for that jack.

Small compact tester but works great for testing the cable for damage.

I purchased a home that has multiple coax installs. Some active, some not. Unfortunately as they disappear into attic, eaves, walls etc I didn’t know where they went to. Using this helped me identify them easily. I then marked for future reference. Having spent 40 years in communications gave me the knowledge to look for this tool.

I usually use a Klein scout to tone/test coax but this tool comes in handy for toneing wires quickly. The press on connection makes it a breeze to click through multiple wires to find the one your looking for. It doesnt replace a full blown tester/generated but at the price its worth adding to your tool bag.

We recently moved into an older home that had a control panel for the phones, ethernet and coax hookups. Problem was, it was a mess! Nothing was labeled, nothing was properly hooked up or split with the main line, the Xfinity guy that set everything up for us only got the downstairs one working, but since we didnt have TVs in the house yet he couldnt test if the other ones worked. Which is crazy because I feel like he must have had a similar tool like this to test it, but he didnt want to try I guess. So instead of calling and dealing with another tech, I thought with the power of the internet and this tool I could do it myself, and I was! I was able to identify which coax cables went to where and get them all labeled and now have working cables in all rooms. It didnt come with instructions, but its not too hard to figure out. The bottom section under where you unscrew for the battery. is the little speaker. So just pop the main unit (L shape one) onto where the line youre testing and then just go to the other end wherever that may be and then screw on the speaker into each line until you hear a high pitch noise, and BAM thats your line. Super easy peasy.

Exactly what I needed. I will get my money worth just for the two wires I found in my cluster. THANK YOU

Easy to use out of the box and makes tracing coax cables super easy! Great value for the time saved.

Simple, inexpensive - perfect for me - a homeowner with coaxile running through our new house and I needed to figure out what wire went to what room

Works on newer coaxal, but couldnt get it to work on older stuff

Does the job. Now I can test which cable is which and test to see if there are any shorts in any cables. Takes the guess work out of coax running.
