The tone generator and probe is a network installation and troubleshooting tool used for tracing wires through inconvenient or inaccessible locations. A signal is emitted by the tone generator at one end of a cable which is easily detected by the probe at the other end. The tone generator and probe are commonly used to verify cable continuity, identify wiring faults, and determine line polarity and voltage in network (Cat 5 and Coax) and modular telephone lines.
