## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this strong enough to find a cable behind solid plaster? (Not just plasterboard)**
A: For many of the tests you connect each device at either end of the cable.  Thus, it doesn't matter whether the cable runs through wood, concrete, plasterboard, plaster, etc.
To find the tone using the sensing probe (wirelessly), I have only succeeded to find the tone when the probe tip is right next to the cable (<1/2 inch away, Cat5, Cat5E or Cat6 cable typically).
For coaxial cable (for TVs), the probe can't drive substantial lengths of this cable.  I have used a different device to test connectivity on those (which is based on DC and uses different known impedances to validate connectivity).

**Q: Is this just for data or can it do twin, flex etc?**
A: It can do both - note there are croc clips on one of the cables which you can snap onto a twin flex

this is a great tester as you can plug cat 5/6 cables into it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great 2-in-1 toolset with a fatal flaw.
*by D***T on 1 October 2024*

While the price might seem excessive for a network tester, you're getting a network tester and a toner probe, saving you a lot of space and organisation. It's been nothing but useful since I had it for decoding 20 years old cable runs, you might find a problem when it comes to using it. The toner probe is dead. It worked when you got it, but after shoving it in your bag for a month, when you go to use it, it doesn't pick up anything, assuming the light stays on that long. The dial on the side is too proud and is very easily flicked into an on position. Remove the batteries before storing it!
