Southwire KIT, T200K MULITPURPOSE TONE & PROBE

I actually bought this at Frys. Didnt work right of the box. I really liked the design and simplicity of it. To bad they dont work.

This little setup has worked wonderfully since I got it. I’ve been very pleased so far

It needs female-female connectors for LAN and coax. Other than that the product works great

This tester is good for the price. It has performed perfectly for the cables we have tested.

I was very disappointed at first. I was trying to use this to find some cat 5 cables in our office, and I discovered I couldnt hear anything from the probe if I got more than a couple of feet down the cable. I wrote a bad review, then I thought to check the cat 5 connector for the tone generator. Turns out the RJ-11 plug that goes into the generator was not properly connected. After snipping it off and crimping on another connector, Ive got much better performance.

Love this thing. Compact, various connectors work flawlessly, and to top it all off its cheaper than competitors and it actually works better than the Fluke I had (the blue one). At low gain I can pinpoint cables with accuracy and precision and the probe will be nice and loud even at low gain.

Really great tester. A bit more expensive than other options, but you get what you pay for. Nice case to hold sender and receiver.

The only time the wand actually picks up the tone is when youre holding the point of the wand against the tip of the cable youlre testing. I might as well just guess with my cable tester till I buy something else

Ok, so the sensitivity adjuster is a totally terrible design. Primarily, if you are searching for a single trace in a large bundle, this will go off- beeping at any wire in proximity. If you crank the sensitivity down, it still has the same beep, just quieter- YOU STILL CANT DISTINGUISH A SINGLE TRACE. Itll beep on every wire adjacent to the transmitting wire. So, in the cramped quarters of a car or engine bay, this is useless- Especially if you dont have room to separate the wires.

This is a great little piece of kit. The only thing that i have say in a negative way,is the fact that the cables supplied with the device are not the best quality and have a tendency to fall out of location,but that said,it’s a real time saver.
