How TREND Networks’ Tone Generator and Amplifier Probe help you trace cables fast

When you’re knee-deep in a patch panel or faced with a tangled web of cables behind a wall, few tools can match the simplicity and effectiveness of a tone and probe set. Whether you’re a network installer, cable technician or systems integrator, being able to trace wires quickly and accurately is a must. That’s where the TRACETone® Tone Generator and Amplifier Probe from TREND Networks really shines.

Why wire tracing matters

Every cable installer knows the pain of trying to find the correct wire in a bundle – especially when the cables aren’t labelled or have been poorly installed. In those moments, guessing just doesn’t cut it. A tone generator for tracing wires allows you to inject a signal into a cable and follow it using a handheld probe. It sounds simple, and that’s because it is – but only when you’re using the right equipment.

Dependable results, even in tough environments

We know that tracing a cable isn’t always straightforward. You might be dealing with background noise, weak signals, long cable runs or working in dimly lit areas. That’s why our Tone Generator and Probe Kit is built with features that help you get the job done right the first time.

The tone generator provides a strong, industry-leading signal output that ensures accurate tracing even across long cables. It also performs continuity testing, provides a talk battery for powering test sets, and confirms line polarity – all essential tools for fault finding and installation verification.

Meanwhile, the amplifier probe is designed with both audible and visual signal indicators, making it easy to detect tones even in noisy environments. There’s a built-in LED torch for dark spaces and an earphone jack for quiet or private testing, so you’re always ready for whatever the job throws at you.

Tone generator and probe built for versatility

The TREND Networks Tone Generator and Probe is suitable for a wide range of applications. Whether you’re tracing data, telephone or coaxial (COAX) cables, identifying specific wire pairs in a multi-core bundle, or pinpointing cable breaks and damage, it delivers reliable results every time.

It works seamlessly with any standard network and cable tester and is also fully compatible with the TREND Networks range of data testers and cable testers, including LanTEK, LanXPLORER Pro, SignalTEK, NaviTEK, PoE PRO, and VDV II.

Designed for real-world use

Not only is the kit compact and easy to carry, it also includes everything you need: the tone generator, amplifier probe, RJ45-to-RJ11 and crocodile patch leads, as well as a sturdy carry case. You can even connect directly to CATV systems using the F-connector port. And, with up to 70 hours of battery life on the tone generator and 50 hours on the probe, you can work without interruption.

Installation technicians also appreciate the thoughtful details – from auto shut-off to save battery, to replaceable tips and adjustable volume controls. These are the little things that make a big difference when you’re on site all day.
