Fluke Networks MT-8200-60-KIT IntelliTone Pro 200 Probe and Toner, Multicolor

Great tool. Located cat 6 cable where my others would not. Expensive but worth it for what it can do.

I use this tool on a regular basis. I needed it to test active Ethernet cable connections. It does that and more. Nice solid zippered container. Highly recommended.

This is a quality toner and generator. Works really good to tone out network cables

The toner works fine. The probe is defective(Along with a lot of the current reviews). This seems to be related to a certain batch.It shuts off after 30-60 of being directly on the eternet cable I'm trying to trace. It's suppose to have a cable detected sound. Even when I only have one cable plugged into my switch and press the probe into it, it does not pick it up. After and hour of testing I've gotten the detection sound twice and only for a split second each time.The issue only seems to be the case on digital mode. The power button will start flickering red once it does it's "60 second shutoff" and if I'm pressed up against the Ethernet. It seems to hint to a short or a faulty board. Because the Toner and probe sync together, I have to turn the toner and probe both off to get the probe to turn back on again. You could probably image how annoying this is if you were trying to trace a cable onsite. You plug one end into the toner, walk to the switch and because of how weak the defective the probe is, it shuts off, so you need to walk all the way back over the the toner to reset and "fix" it.The only work around(this is getting returned asap) is to use the probe to have a rough location and plug the endpoint into the probe to see if it's the correct cable.

Had the product for a little over a year. I use it mostly in PoE environments and the other 2 I had would fault if plugged in to one. I've def gone through a good bit of batteries on one though, seemed to have had a power ground of something that ultimately killed it but their support was great and even nextdayed a replacement even though they said 3 days.

I've been an IT guy for 30+ years. I can do some basic wiring (Cat-5 punchdowns, crimps, etc), but most of my daily tasks involve connecting things to ports that are already wired for me.However, from time to time a situation occurs where I have to trace a wire. I'm looking at one end of a wire, and WAAAAAYYY down on a different floor the other end is somewhere in that un-labeled bundle of 200+ identical-looking Cat-5 cables, all nicely and tightly tied together.Sure, I could use a Cat-5 cable tester and one-by-one, plug that baby into port after port through the roughly 250 ports on the patch panels (of course disconnecting each potentially "live" station one at a time) trying to hunt down where that cable ends up or...Fluke to the rescue.In 30 years, I've never needed a tone tool. Until that day last month when a ceiling-mounted wireless access point was offline, and I needed to find out where it was connected at the other end. Of course, the cable wasn't labeled--no, that would have been too easy.What could and likely would (with a plug-in cable tester) have been HOURS of agonizing, repetitive plug-and-unplug hunting for the correct port took me less than 5 minutes to isolate the one cable and its panel jack. 288 ports down to "the one" in 5 minutes. Boom.At my billable rate, this tool paid for itself the first time I used it. Even for a first-timer like me, it performed flawlessly. I probably won't use it again for another year or two because the need arises so rarely. But my tool kit will never be without one again.

Worked as advertised. I successfully traced 2 ethernet cables to their termination in a maze of cables and switches which my $30 toner could not do. Downside is no included manual. Maybe there's one online, I didn't check. The one video I found on Fluke website was more of a marketing video, than a "how to". As a result, I have no idea how the other functions work. Once I found the line, I went back to my more intuitive Klein tool to test the wiring...Klein has much more intuitive LEDs walking through the 8 pairs on both the toner and the probe.

I am the IT Manager for a small business with a 50 user Ethernet network. Our broadband provider is AT&T - we recently migrated from AT&T DSL to AT&T UVerse and couldn't be happier! After replacing our dumb CISCO 24-port switch with a HP 48-port "Smart Switch" I detected there were some issues across my network with dead ports on our server rack panel. Now- how to figure out where these patch panel ports went within our widespread office building?Enter the Fluke Networks IntelliTone Pro 200 kit which I bought from AMAZON using my PRIME subscription. The item showed up in the normal 2 day window and was simple to set up (install the provided 9-volt battery into both the sensor and the toner units). I loaded up the instructional CD (a 'mini cd' disk) and reviewed the instructions.From there it was a cakewalk to fire up the toner and attach it to the network cable at the far end of the system (where the cable plugs into the user's PC, you unplug the cable from the pc and plug into the toner. Move the control knob on the toner to "transmit" (a picture looks like a radio signal) -Turn on the sensor wand and set it to the mass-detect and go to the other end of your network where the ethernet switch is and wave the sensor wand until you locate the tone signal (you will HEAR IT). Switch the sensor wand to individual detect mode (a smaller radio wave on the display selector switch) and you can narrow down your search to the specific cable socket on your network.CAKE!I would buy again and I would recommend to a user with medium ability... a complete newbie could do this as well, if you have decent logical reasoning ability. The instruction manual is weak (IMHO) and the quick start pamphlet is useless (perhaps better if Japanese or Chinese are your first language?)Solid performer, decent price.
