Fluke Networks MT-8200-60-KIT IntelliTone 200 LAN Toner and Probe Kit

Product Information

Together, the IntelliTone Pro Toner’s synchronized digital signal and the IntelliTone Pro Probe’s microprocessor controlled signal identification technology reject noise and false signals to clearly identify cable location. The same patch cable can then be used to validate the correct cable using the Cablemap feature on the IntelliTone Pro 200 probe.

This provides telecom technicians a decisive way to identify individual wire pairs before punching them down on a jack or a block, or when diagnosing voice transmission problems. IntelliTone technology automates the testing of each conductor for end-to-end continuity; LED lights and tones clearly indicate mis-wires such as opens, shorts or reversed pairs. The IntelliTone™ Pro LAN Toner uses the unique properties of twisted pair cabling to create a balanced signal that minimizes the effect of signal bleed. Observe any deviating country-specific electrical installation standards and regulations and seek advice from a local electrician.

These cables are optimized for lower frequency transmissions and therefore are more easily isolated with a low-frequency tone. This solution allows the most elusive, hidden or bundled voice/audio, data and video cables and wire pairs to be located and isolated quickly and reliably, even on active networks. While often done on 66 blocks, it is possible to make the contact with the 110 connections using a metallic object. By removing the patch cable from the switch, or by plugging a patch cable into the patch panel jack, the complete end-to-end wiring can be verified for opens, shorts, or mis-wires.

IntelliTone technology automates the testing of each conductor for end-to-end continuity; LED lights and tones clearly indicate miswires. IntelliTone Pro’s SmartTone analog toning can be used on voice-grade cabling (Cat 3 and below), as well as coax, security/alarm, and speaker wiring.

IntelliTone is a breakthrough solution – and the only solution – that locates and isolates the most elusive, hidden or bundled voice, data and video cables and wire pairs quickly and reliably – even on active networks. IntelliTone Pro’s digital encoded signal should primarily be used on high-grade data cabling (Cat 5e/6/6a), and in active network environments. When plugged into a wall jack, it provides the first indication of where to look for the cable in the closet. It operates at a high-frequency to match the higher frequency data the cable plant is designed to carry.

These cables are optimized for lower frequency transmissions, and therefore are more easily isolated with a low-frequency tone. IntelliTone Pro’s SmartTone analog technology cuts out the guesswork and improves accuracy by providing definitive confirmation when the pair under test is located.One of the toughest, most time-consuming parts of locating a cable has been in tracing its path amidst multiple cables and bundles in wiring closets. If the open LED is extinguished, the toner is detecting a connection across the centre pins of the jack.
