Comment:
This product was purchased with the hope of being able to identify cables from the wiring closet to other locations in the building. While we can deal with the limitations that it can only trace lines that are not plugged into a hub or switch (they must be dead lines), the tone generation just doesn't work for cables over about 15ft, so the tracing ability is worthless for finding cables on long ~100ft runs. |
I saw problem from TKB and found no such issue. I've used tone numererous times up to several hundered feet. I did discover that the directions say that tone is only generated from RJ11 port (what it didn't say was that if you try it with RJ45 port that tone drops off after about 15 ft!) So, TKB might want to check out the directions -and Paladin might want to clear up their instructions! Otherwise, I thought this was a great product for the money.
