Test-Um TG455 Tonax
Coax Tone Generator
  • Can be used in a Variety of applications and uses:
    • Trace and troubleshoot wires in a home, business, or MDU complex
    • Tone trace for triple-play installations, hometheater, security, multi-room audio, satellite, and phone systems
    • Locate wires lost in a wall
    • Trace coax runs in a daisy chain, through splitters, or in shorted cables
    • Check continuity of a circuit
  • Optimized for use with coaxial cabling systems, built-in F-connectors
  • Cables terminated to equipment or splitters can be traced with high power coil mode
  • High current (compared to standard tone generators) makes it possible to trace terminated or even shorted cables.
  • Pots simulator, talk battery.
  • Line voltage, line current and dial tone.
  • Status indicators for off-hook and shorts
  • Low and high power tone generator
  • Probe mode for conventional tone tracing
  • Coil mode for terminated coax tracing
  • Three tone outputs
  • Constant output (100%) in all modes for the life of the battery
  • Auto-off in any mode

The field proven Tonax™ Coax Tone Generator is optimized to tone on coaxial cable systems as well as for phone and data cabling. The compact and rugged Tonax includes a high power tone generator mode that enables tracing through ungrounded splitters or to equipment as well as tracing terminated or shorted coax cables. Probe mode is used for conventional tone tracing. The low power tone generator modes up plies tone voltage and current comparable to common tone generators. The POTS simulator mode supports line voltage, line current, and dial tone functions with a talk battery performance that performs better than common tone generators.

Datacom contractors, telco installation and maintenance technicians, enterprise technicians, and cable installers and contractors alike value the tone strength, ability to tone and trace through splitters, multiple interfaces (phone, data, and coax), and generous talk battery capability of Tonax.

The high power coil mode tone generator signal provides several benefits for coaxial cable tracing. Cables terminated to equipment or splitters can be traced by plugging the cable into the F-connector on the Tonax™. The high current (relative to standard tone generators) makes it possible to trace the terminated or even shorted coaxial cables. The Resi-Tracer’s™ coil tracing mode is required for optimum tracing of these signals.

The Probe mode is provided for compatibility with conventional voltage tracing probes and ground loop tracing.
