What is the total distance that a tone tracer 200ep can measure?
Detailed Question:
What is the total distance that a tone tracer 200ep can measure and what is the total distance that a cable tracker with a tone generator measure?
Fluke do not provide this information in any Intellitone product literature, however, it is generally assumed that a tone generator and probe kit should be able to trace copper cable runs up to 10 miles in length with more powerful generators being able to trace further. Different parameters will affect this distance such as depth/density of material that you are tracing cable through, good connection and so on. I am unable to comment on cable tracker distance as this will depend on the manufacturer's specifications. The difference between tone and probe kits and cable trackers is generally that cable trackers have added functionality for example hub blink or basic cable tests, but again this depends on the specific make.
