Overview
What Is a Digital Network Cable Toner and Probe?
Network cable toners and probes are the most effective way to trace the electrical cables hidden in building walls, floors, and ceilings. A good cable tester and toner tracks electrical signals to locate internet cables, Ethernet wires, phone lines, and other key wires.
One of the toughest challenges technicians face is identifying individual cables that are bundled with other cables. With both digital and analog signaling, the IntelliTone Pro eliminates the guesswork and allows even inexperienced teams to easily trace and identify individual wires on active networks.
The IntelliTone’s built-in pair tester identifies open, shorted, and crossed pairs. Its signal strength indicator LEDs let you easily identify individual cables that are bundled with other cables. And its unique SmartTone™ analog toning technology changes tone to isolate individual wire pairs.
What Is the Advantage of Combining Both Analog and Digital Signaling in One Tool?
Modern media networks are highly complex. It’s typical for buildings to have telephone, twisted-pair data, coax, and security/alarm wiring bundled in closets or hidden behind walls.
Our IntelliTone Pro LAN Toner and Probe can trace and organize even the most diverse wiring. It offers both analog and digital signaling, making it a powerful all-in-one tool that combines all the cable tracing technologies you need, for any setting.
Trace and track data cabling with IntelliTone’s digital mode. Use the analog mode to locate individual wire pairs, and to trace and locate voice, audio, and video cabling.
Can the IntelliTone Pro Tone on Live Networks?
Yes. The IntelliTone Pro cable toner tester is fast and effective in virtually any setting, including on active networks. Its digital signal retains its strength even when dealing with common mode termination. And the IntelliTone Pro automates toning individual cable conductors, making it quick, efficient, and safe to locate cables on active networks.
Testing Network Cable with the IntelliTone Pro
The IntelliTone Pro offers advanced vision for tracing and locating network cables more effectively at patch panels, switches, termination blocks, or hidden within bundles. IntelliTone finds the cables that others can’t.
The IntelliTone Pro 200 LAN Toner and Probe Series from Fluke Networks is designed to be an intuitive, all-purpose network cable toner, tracer, and probe, with digital and analog signaling in one tool. That means it offers reliable cable tracing and location technologies for any work environment. Use its digital mode to trace and locate data cabling safely and effectively on active networks. Use the analog mode to isolate individual wire pairs, and trace voice, audio, and video cabling.
The IntelliTone Pro offers built-in solutions to common challenges. Digital signal processing rejects noise and false signals. SmartTone analog signal locates individual wire pairs. Test for continuity, locate missing cables, and verify Ethernet service with ease.
Breakthrough digital and analog toning in one
IntelliTone Pro is the first toner and probe to offer digital and analog toning all in one tool. That means it’s equipped with the most powerful cable location and verification technologies for any work environment – even active networks.
- Eliminates confusion over cable location; decisively rejects noise and false signals
- Locates the correct cable bundle
- Isolates a cable within the bundle, despite cable bleed
- Verifies twisted-pair installation with visual end-to-end continuity test (opens, shorts and reversed pairs)
- Identifies individual wire pairs with new SmartTone™ analog toning
- Simplifies signal interpretation in noisy environments with multiple LED indicators
Locate cables quickly and easily
Fluke Networks has applied decades of cable test engineering expertise to the science of locating copper cables. The result is what we call IntelliTone technology – a digital signal-toning and signal-interpreting process that rapidly zeroes in on cables.
IntelliTone technology energizes cable conductors with a smart, sychronized digital signal. Multiple tone types occur in the signal that help you to:
- LOCATE the correct cable bundle using maximum radiation.
- ISOLATE a cable within the bundle using a signal with minimum radiation.
- VERIFY cable conductor continuity with an automated signal that steps through each conductor.
Isolate the right cable or pair – fast
Cabling installations have become increasingly complex, which has made cabling increasingly difficult to locate with traditional technologies.
When cables are run together for even short lengths, a signal from one can bleed over to another. One cable might carry the original signal; other cables might carry the signal as a result of bleed. Isolating cables with traditional tools requires guesswork, training, time for repeated testing – and even the best efforts often result in mistakes.
IntelliTone Pro provides two cutting-edge technologies to isolate cables or wire pairs. Digital mode can be used to isolate twisted-pair cables on a switch or within a bundle. SmartTone™ analog mode can be used to isolate wire pairs at an unterminated outlet.
Overcome noise – and save hours of time
Fluorescent lights, machinery, computer monitors and electrical wiring all produce noise that slows down cable location. Together, the IntelliTone Pro Toner’s synchronized digital signal and the IntelliTone Pro Probe’s microprocessor controlled signal identification technology reject noise and false signals to clearly identify cable location. This can save you hours every week on cable location projects.
Tone on live networks safely and effectively
Modern network devices use common mode termination for cables connected to their ports. This reduces noise and crosstalk in the cable; but, it can also absorb a traditional toner signal. Unlike traditional signals, the IntelliTone digital signal stays strong despite common mode termination. And the IntelliTone Pro 200 LAN Toner automates toning individual cable conductors, making it quick, efficient and safe to locate cables on active networks.

Verify conductor continuity with cablemap
Eliminate callbacks during cabling moves, adds and changes with the powerful diagnostic capabilities of IntelliTone™ Pro 200 LAN. The IntelliTone Pro 200 Probe features a Cablemap capability that identifies common cable miswires in twisted pair cabling. IntelliTone technology automates the testing of each conductor for end-to-end continuity; LED lights and tones clearly indicate miswires.
Identify and troubleshoot cable services
Service – Is the RJ45 jack a datacom jack, or a dead jack? IntelliTone Pro 200 LAN Toner LEDs clearly identify common datacom services found on today’s networks including 10/100/Gigabit Ethernet links.
Continuity – Once you’ve located a cable, the next step is to verify cable conductor continuity. IntelliTone Pro 200 LAN Toners make it easy – eliminating the need for a separate diagnostic tool.
