Jonard Tools PT-100 Coax Cable Wire Tracer Pocket Continuity Tester & Toner with Audible Beep and LED, Red

Great price and works well as advertised.

My camper came with all the coax unhooked. There were like 7 unlabeled connections behind the radio and DVD player. With this, I was able to put the tone generator on each wire and walk around testing different outlets with the other part until I had identified and labeled each wire. Now all my TV’s work. This job has been impossible in the past. I didn’t know this existed and wish I had found it years ago. Now it’s in the toolbox for future repairs.

This tracer helped me locate the correct coax wire in a bundle of a dozen wires in my basement's equipment room. Keep in mind that this will only work on *properly terminated* coax wire with the F-type male connector and NOT on a bare cable with an exposed copper wire. Your cables will need connectors crimped on the end of your wire with the shielding contacting the connector and the copper wire the proper length in the inside of the connector.So I plugged one end of this tracer in to the F-type female connector in the upstairs bedroom, and the other end screwed into the male connector on a coax cable in the basement, and BOOM, beep! Cable located and confirmed!

I’ve always had one of these since I’m all around Tech and when toning or troubleshooting a single line this makes your life a lot easier. But I just got one on August 20th and it’s already broken. I’m guessing most likely the speaker but it didn’t even make it to three months. He’ll it didn’t even give me a chance to loose it, which is what happened to my previous ones. Just sucks that it didn’t even lasted at all. But good tool to have.

It works very well but with no instructions included I had to figure out how it works. It took a while to do this with another piece of coax. Simple instructions would make it much easier.

I needed a device to figure out what cables terminated where, I needed to find what cable terminated. This did the trick, hooked it up on one end, found the termination. Reasonable price, does what it should.

Bought a bunch of these over the years for work. Very handy when you need to do a quick tone check. Unfortunately the last 2 I ordered were defective. I am going to move to another brand due to the speaker not working properly or not getting connectivity directly with speaker from conductor on pen.

Used it to track a cable down, worked well and no issues.
