    Hi all

    I was in work today and an engineer came into our comms room.

    He was looking for a specific network connection.

    He opened the comms cabinet and proceeded to wave this kind of wand
    thing around. It had a speaker attached to one end and it emitted different
    sounds depending on what network connection he moved it over.



    What is this tool? What is it used for?

    Called A Tone Generator, used to locate Data Cables in loom or a specific cable on a patch panel.
    There is small unit that plugs into the wall outlet that emits a tone and the wand that you saw will amplify that signal and allow the cable to be identified.
