Network LAN Cable Tester Kit with Wire Tracker , RJ45 RJ11 Tone Generator AD-WT-398

The AD-WT-398 Network LAN Cable Tester and Wire Tracker is a professional-grade diagnostic tool designed for technicians and DIY enthusiasts. It simplifies the process of identifying, tracing, and testing cables in complex networking environments.

Below is a breakdown of its core functions and technical capabilities.

# Core Functionality

The kit typically consists of two main components: a Signal Transmitter and a Receiver Probe.

• Wire Tracking (Toning): It emits a unique digital or analog tone onto a wire. Using the receiver probe, you can “sniff” out the correct cable from a cluttered bundle or behind a wall without stripping the insulation.

• Cable Mapping (Pair Testing): By connecting both ends of an RJ45 (Ethernet) or RJ11 (Phone) cable to the device, it checks for physical wire mapping. It identifies:

  • Short Circuits: When two wires touch.

  • Open Circuits: Broken wires.

  • Crossed Pairs: Wires connected to the wrong pins.

• Telephone Line Status: It can detect the state of a working phone line (Idle, Ringing, or Off-hook) and verify polarity.

 Key Features

## How to Use the AD-WT-398

1. Tracing a Cable

1. Plug one end of the cable into the Transmitter’s RJ45 or RJ11 jack.

2. Switch the transmitter to “SCAN” mode.

3. Use the Receiver probe to move along the cables. The signal will get louder as you approach the correct wire.

2. Testing Cable Integrity (Wiremap)

1. Plug one end of the cable into the Transmitter and the other into the Receiver.

2. Switch the transmitter to “TEST” mode.

3. Observe the LED sequence. If the cable is good, the lights will flash in a 1-to-1 sequence (1-1, 2-2, 3-3, etc.). If a light is skipped or out of order, the cable is faulty.
