What Is a Digital Network Cable Toner and Probe?

Network cable toners and probes are the most effective way to trace the electrical cables hidden in building walls, floors, and ceilings. A good cable tester and toner tracks electrical signals to locate internet cables, Ethernet wires, phone lines, and other key wires.

One of the toughest challenges technicians face is identifying individual cables that are bundled with other cables. With both digital and analog signaling, the IntelliTone Pro eliminates the guesswork and allows even inexperienced teams to easily trace and identify individual wires on active networks.

The IntelliTone’s built-in pair tester identifies open, shorted, and crossed pairs. Its signal strength indicator LEDs let you easily identify individual cables that are bundled with other cables. And its unique SmartTone™ analog toning technology changes tone to isolate individual wire pairs.

What Is the Advantage of Combining Both Analog and Digital Signaling in One Tool?

Modern media networks are highly complex. It’s typical for buildings to have telephone, twisted-pair data, coax, and security/alarm wiring bundled in closets or hidden behind walls.  

Our IntelliTone Pro LAN Toner and Probe can trace and organize even the most diverse wiring. It offers both analog and digital signaling, making it a powerful all-in-one tool that combines all the cable tracing technologies you need, for any setting.

Trace and track data cabling with IntelliTone’s digital mode. Use the analog mode to locate individual wire pairs, and to trace and locate voice, audio, and video cabling.

Can the IntelliTone Pro Tone on Live Networks?

Yes. The IntelliTone Pro cable toner tester is fast and effective in virtually any setting, including on active networks. Its digital signal retains its strength even when dealing with common mode termination. And the IntelliTone Pro automates toning individual cable conductors, making it quick, efficient, and safe to locate cables on active networks.

Testing Network Cable with the IntelliTone Pro

The IntelliTone Pro offers advanced vision for tracing and locating network cables more effectively at patch panels, switches, termination blocks, or hidden within bundles. IntelliTone finds the cables that others can't.

The IntelliTone Pro 200 LAN Toner and Probe Series from Fluke Networks is designed to be an intuitive, all-purpose network cable toner, tracer, and probe, with digital and analog signaling in one tool. That means it offers reliable cable tracing and location technologies for any work environment. Use its digital mode to trace and locate data cabling safely and effectively on active networks. Use the analog mode to isolate individual wire pairs, and trace voice, audio, and video cabling.

The IntelliTone Pro offers built-in solutions to common challenges. Digital signal processing rejects noise and false signals. SmartTone analog signal locates individual wire pairs. Test for continuity, locate missing cables, and verify Ethernet service with ease.

SmartTone® analog toning technology:

• Isolates individual wire pairs precisely by changing tone when shorted.
• Effectively traces and locates voice, audio, and video cabling.

Other features:

• Confirms cable location, verifies cable continuity, and detects cable faults (opens, shorts, and reversed pairs) in one step.
• Isolates cable and wiring within a bundle, despite cable bleed.
• Signal strength indicator LEDs help you identify one cable that is bundled with other cables.
• Probe has built-in pair tester to identify open, shorted, and crossed pairs.
