How to send tone through a patch cable

February 20, 2019  |  Post by: admin

A cable network never consists of only a single cable. There is a complex and intricate web of cables which create a network. All the cables in the network meet in a server room where detecting which cable goes where is almost impossible.

Maintaining and organizing these cables is a hard process, however, it is very important if you do not want any interruptions in your network.

In case of a network error, for example, if your telephone line stops working; you do not have the time to check all the cables and devices just to see where the problem occurred. However, your dead telephone will also hamper your working, which you can’t afford!

The best way to trace cables without wasting precious time is by using Tones and Testers. By sending a tone down the cable, you can detect the other end of the cable which is causing the disturbance. Tone testing is very useful when it comes to remote locations. The tone will travel through one end of the circuit and the technician will check all the cable ends present in the server room until the problematic cable is found.

How does it work?

  1. Switch on your tone device or meter and go to the menu and select the cable you want to tone.
  2. Plug your cable to the meter port.
  3. Go to the network or server room where the other end of the cable resides.
  4. Switch the wand on.
  5. To detect which cable is the right one, take the wand near all the cables present in the network room one by one.

As soon as the wand comes near to the cable receiving the tone, it will start beeping. This will alert you about the right cable.

Now you can check and rectify the issue and bring your network back on track!
