5.6 Cable Tracing (Toning)

The multi-style tone generator allows for tracing cables, wire pairs, and individual conductor wires. This feature requires an analog probe (Klein Tools Cat. No. VDV500-123, sold separately).

The tester can tone wires from 800 Hz to 1500 Hz and can tone individual wires, pairs, or all 8 wires. It also supports toning RJ11/RJ12 terminated cables.

5.7 Hub Blink Mode

The Hub Blink mode identifies the port location on a hub or a switch by causing the corresponding port LED to blink, simplifying cable identification in crowded network environments.
