Product Description

Advanced sensing modes accurately find the correct cable bundle, and then rapidly isolate the exact cable from within that bundle. Digital signal rejects noise and safely tones active networks. New SmartToneTM feature precisely locates individual wire pairs by changing tone when pair is shorted. Verifies end-to-end cable continuity and basic miswires. Identifies and troubleshoots services with datacom link, two line telecom, continuity and polarity. Powerful talk battery capability tests telecom circuits.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description
As networks have increased in complexity, so too have cable installations, with dozens and sometimes hundreds of cables running together throughout a home or office setting. As a result, it can be a serious hassle to add, replace, or even identify cables within a bundled voice, data and video installation. Enter the IntelliTone 200 digital toner and probe, which is specifically designed to safely and effectively trace cables hidden in floors, ceilings, walls, and bundles--even on active networks. The unit's digital signal-locating technology clearly identifies the unique signal with audio and LED visual indicators, making it as advanced as the systems it analyzes.
One of the problems with traditional analog probes is that they have trouble identifying signal bleed from one cable to another. Thus, isolating cables with analog tools requires guesswork, training, and time for repeated testing, and even the best efforts often result in mistakes. The IntelliTone 200 kit, on the other hand, decisively rejects noise and false signals while correctly isolating any cable within a bundle, whether coaxial (RG6, RG9, and other cable TV cables) or bare (such as speaker wire and security network wire). The unit also validates twisted-pair installations (UTP, Cat 5e, Cat 6) with a visual end-to-end cable map--a great way to determine whether a twisted pair is miswired.
The IntelliTone 200 works by employing a smart, synchronized digital signal that searches for several tone types in the signal. It can detect maximum radiation within a bundle, it can search for a signal with minimum radiation, or it can seek an automated signal that steps through each conductor. The device is also designed to ignore the noise produced by fluorescent lights, machinery, computer monitors, and electrical wiring, so you can quickly isolate the proper signal and save hours on cable location projects. And unlike analog signals, the IntelliTone digital signal stays strong despite the use of "common mode termination" among modern network devices. "Common mode determination" is designed to reduce noise and crosstalk in the cable, but can absorb an analog toner signal. No such problem with the IntelliTone's digital signal.
The device can also diagnose and troubleshoot telecom/data services, telling you whether an RJ11 or RJ45 jack is a datacom jack, a phone jack, or a dead outlet. The IntelliTone 200 toner is designed to detect telephone and Ethernet service, indicate polarity and active line numbers on voice circuits, and indicate active pair numbers on Ethernet circuits. Finally, the IT200 toner and probe provide such standard functions as visual and audible signal strength indicators, legacy 1 kHz analog toning and detection, continuity testing, and talk battery power for telephone line testing.
Additional features include a three-level battery status indicator LED ; an auto/off feature that shuts down the toner after 2-1/2 hours of inactivity; and compatibility with analog toner/probe kits. The toner measures 2.94 by 5.54 by 1.2 inches (W x H x D), while the probe checks in at 8.73 by 1.88 by 1.26 inches.

From the Manufacturer
The Fluke Networks MT-8200-60A Intellitone 200 Toner and Probe Kit can find cables other toners/probes can’t. The Pro 100 Toner's advanced sensing modes accurately find the correct cable bundle, and then rapidly isolate the exact cable from within that bundle. Its digital signal rejects noise and safely tones active networks. The probe detects digital signal and 1 kHz signal from the analog toner. The Smart-Tone feature precisely locates individual wire pairs by changing tone when pair is shorted. It verifies end-to-end cable continuity and basic miswires, and identifies and troubleshoots services with datacom link, two line telecom, continuity and polarity. Confirm telecom circuits with the built-in talk battery capability. The Toner measures 5.54 inches by 2.94 inches by 1.25 inches (14.1 cm by 7.5 cm by 3.2 cm), includes one 9-volt battery, and features auto power down that turns off the toner after 2.5 hours of inactivity. This kit includes the following: IntelliTone Pro 200 Toner and 200 Probe, coax F connector adapter, two RJ11 and two RJ45 patch cables and test leads with alligator clips. The Fluke Networks MT-8200-60A Intellitone 200 Toner and Probe Kit is covered by a limited warranty.

A great time saving tool5
This is a great tool to save time when searching for 1 cat 5 line in a bundle of a few hundred. You can also test the line with this tool which is a nice feature as well. These are the only two features I bought this item for, but it does a lot more.
paid for itself in 60 seconds5
this device will find lines that are connected to a live data port. The environment I work in has several "layers" of cabling that are not labeled well. After two visits and unsuccessful searching for a specific live ethernet port using an analog toning device and by physical search, this device was walked by two potential closets and used to single out the missing line very quickly, it is sensitive enough to detect signal from several feet away and only signals the highest level when it is within an inch of the cable being tested. it is very consistent and has paid for itself several times over when lines were difficult to locate. our cabling contractor does not like it as it reduces the amount of billable research needed sometimes.
Yay Fluke5
I didn't buy this from amazon, but I have a Fluke review.

I lost the coaxial adapter and I could not find just a replacement anywhere. I filled out the customer support form on flukes website and in less then 24 hours the response I got was:

"..if you send me your shipping address, I can send an replace adapter out to you.

Awesome

Also we have used this toner at work for over 3 years and it is a super handy piece of equipment. Highly recommended.
