Cable tracer / fuse finder

I have a fluke intellitone 200

It was well worth the money

Isn't that a structured cabling tool as opposed to a low voltage circuit tracer/fuse finder?

So I eventually went for the Martindale CD1000 unit. Have been using it for the last 3 days with spot on accuracy in what can only be described as a challenging installation as it was overseas and by no means to UK standards. At a smidge over £300 it has paid for itself at least twice over. Roll on next weekend until I have to go back and complete the survey lol.

Have to say that looks like a rather nice bit of kit

Was going to go for the Mardindale FD650 at around £100 ish but glad now that I got the higher end model.

It has both functions

Am I right in thinking if you inject a tone at one end, the contactless receiver probe will identify the correct cable at any point along its route?

Yes
That's how it works.

You can inject it via rj45 or crocodile clips if you are using some single core cable.
