I have the fox and hound. Same thing. I perfer analog so you find the tone faster. To tone out a live jack I plug a stripped patch cable into the jack, use the alligator clips and clip to 2 different color wires (except brown, its poe). Inside the switch the pairs have continuity so clipping to 2 wires from different pairs will break continuity and bring the tone back. The reason alot of these (like the fluke triplett and tempo) have an rj11 and put the tone down the blue pair is cuz they were designed for voice, not data.

I bought one about two months ago, starting to love it.

DAMN !!! Awesome video bud !! Makes me want to go get one to play with now !! You can also use the aligator clips to tone speakers too !!

I finally found a video on it omg

I wonder how this compares to the Fluke Intellitone 200. Does anyone have experience with both?

Dude we need another video on this thing!!!

Would it detect lighting cable the other side of plasterboard? I have no idea where the electrician has left cables for the down lights.

Do you know if it will work on an active network for a PoE switch? I have a Fluke intellitone Pro200 that will just send tone across the whole switch if it's PoE.

You didn't talk about testing the cable itself. I was curious about using this as a map tester after terminating.

needs a metal tip to short the tone.

What happens if i clip them on live wire

Be careful with this unit. They auto shut off which is a MAJOR pain on a big job.. imagine trying to find the wire across the building when the generator has auto shut off. It nearly went out the window after the 5th time. No way to turn off auto shutoff.
