If coax cable identification is the task, the Gale Pocket Toner 2 is the answer. The PT2 natively supports coaxial cable with F-connectors but with the included array of adapters in this kit, you can tone and tag telephone, LAN, audio, security, or virtually any other type of wire or cable.
PT2 gives you important information about the test line with its unique bi-colored LED indicator. A red light means there is a short or splitter in the line; while a green light means there is a 50-75 ohm termination device at the other end of the line.
Operation of the tool is simple. Plug the head (sending unit) into a wall plate. When the power switch is turned on, the sending unit applies a mild voltage to the line being tested. If there is a splitter or a short in the line, the red LED on the head of the unit will illuminate. If the other end of the cable is has a 50-75 ohm terminator attached to it, the greeen LED will light. Unscrew the toner unit from the bottom of the tool and touch it to the other end of the cable. When the correct cable is found, a loud tone will sound to indicate continuity.
This complete kit includes adapters for F-Connectors, RJ-11, RJ-45, BNC and RCA connectors.
