Comment on Ask HN: Cablefinder to find telephone cables in the wall

Comments

Search for “wire toner”.

the intellitone pro 200 looks promising, any experience with it?

Unfortunate not. My experience using wire toners was mostly in the mid-90s when I was doing cable plant installations.

i read wire boner.. :/

yeah we already had an electrician / telecom technician here with such a device, but they only were working close range (1-3 centimeters) and had too much noise after a few centimeters of distance to the cable. But yeah, thats a good searchterm, i just came up with cable tracer or cable finder. Tone generator is also good.
