BBSS Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Does anyone have any recommendations. I guess it's one of those things that gets forgotten about but in the past had a few situations where it would be a big help. (colleagues not labeling cables)
esp-protocol Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 We've got half a dozen cable tracers from Maplin.... as good as any other, resonable price and so far they bounce too........

Guest RJBsec Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I use mine occasionally and its useful but I have one site where as soon as it was switched on it picked up local radio!
MrHappy Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 silly question really, do they work on any cables including mains OP is on about telecoms type tone tracer? if you want to trace mains services underground you'd use a c scope maybe with the tone tracer cost Mr Veritas God

Hugorune Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Sorry if I'm just being thick, but doesn't http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/level5/module.j...=cpc/509573.xml include http://cpc.farnell.com/proskit-industries/...equestid=157365 for about 7 pounds less? I realise it's unbranded, but it's quite obviously the same unit.

I aint got one like that but guess the tone generator is built in the dmm. Might be ok if you dont need your meter calibrated.
