CableTracker Network ID
Kit
The CableTracker Network
Tone and Probe Kit model CTK1015 is designed for network managers and
technicians. Toning an active LAN circuit can disrupt network traffic and is
difficult to track due to cable twist and tone bleed. The CableTracker
Network Tone and Probe Kit features a Port ID function that blinks the link
light verifying cable connectivity. This feature also provides a simple and
effective method to identify switch or hub port assignments on active
networks. Three different blink rates are provided to ensure compatibility
with equipment from a wide range of manufacturers. Traditional toning with
two different tone frequencies and patterns is provided for non-active
circuit tracing.
Blink the Link Lights to
ID Ports
Tone and probe kits were
designed for one primary mission; to identify the termination point of a
cable. Unfortunately, these were designed for telephony, not network
maintenance. Why else would they have RJ-11 plugs? CableTracker is
different. CableTracker incorporates 3 link light activation speeds to
easily identify user cable termination ports by simply looking for the
blinking lights. Why three? Because ethernet switches do not react the same
to activation. Three speeds ensures the widest compatibility available.
Easy Ethernet or
Telephony Connection
Most toners on the market
offer RJ-11 hard-wired modular connection. That's because they were built
for the phone company. This does nothing for the LAN technician and ethernet
RJ-45 jacks or patch cords. The CableTracker Network ID Kit was designed to
accommodate both ethernet and telephony cabling. Simply connect to the LAN
with either the female RJ-45 jack or directly to the wallplate with the
included RJ-45 patch cord. The CableTracker even provides alligator clips
for punch down blocks or non-terminated cables.
Time Saving Features
with You in Mind
The CableTracker
incorporates several time and money saving features not found on other kits.
The RJ-45 male connection and the alligator clips are detachable and
commonly available, meaning cord failure won't obsolete your tester. Auto
power down extends battery life and a built-in low battery indicator warns
when battery replacement is required, saving unexpected down time searching
for batteries. The CableTracker Network Probe Model CT15 incorporates volume
control, non-conductive plastic tip, and complete compatibility with
existing toners. Technical
