NOTE:
When tracing a cable run from the tone generator to the end of the
cable, applying the tone on a single pin will allow the tone to be detected at a
greater distance from the cable. When trying to locate a cable in an equipment
room or patch panel, sending the tone through all 8 pins or a single pair will limit
the tone signal from spreading to other nearby cables. The tone will be loudest
when the probe tip is placed directly on the wires the tone is being sent through
at the end of the cable. When sending a tone through a single pair, verification
can be made by shorting the suspected pair. The tone will be very faint when the
pair the tone is being sent through is shorted.
