The CableTool Kit (CT50 + CT15) from Softing IT Networks consists of the cable tester CableTool CT50 and the cable tracing probe Cable Probe CP15. It is designed for precise diagnosis and location of network cables, particularly in complex cabling systems, where identification of individual conductors or tracing cable routes is required. The combination of tester and tracing probe enables efficient fault localization and cable tracing in structured cabling, as commonly found in offices, server rooms, or industrial facilities.

Applications
This set is primarily designed for maintenance, installation, and troubleshooting in network infrastructures. It is used to trace cable routes in wall cabling, floor ducts, or rack areas, especially when cables are not visible or are unlabelled. Tracing is achieved by transmitting an audio signal via the cable probe, which is received and localized using the tester. This is particularly useful for identifying cables in existing installations, during re-cabling, or during IT infrastructure maintenance.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The CableTool CT50 is a compact tester used for analyzing cables and conductors. It enables detection of cable breaks, short circuits, open conductors, and determination of cable length. The integrated signal transmission function allows connection to the Cable Probe CP15, which acts as a transmitter. The CP15 probe is connected to the cable to be located and sends an audio signal, which can be received and localized by the CT50. This combination enables precise location even in complex cabling scenarios.

Technology Explained Simply
The technology is based on transmitting a specific audio signal through the cable to be located. The Cable Probe CP15 generates this signal, which is transmitted along the cable. The CableTool CT50 receives the signal and displays its strength, allowing the user to determine the cable’s position by the signal’s volume. The CT50’s measurement functions include cable length determination, short circuit and open conductor detection, and continuity testing. The devices are designed for use in IT networks, particularly for cable types such as UTP, STP, and other related cabling types.

Compatibility and Accessories
The set is designed for use with standard network cables, particularly cable types used in structured cabling systems. The Cable Probe CP15 features an RJ45 connector, which connects directly to the cable to be located.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply connecting the Cable Probe CP15 to the cable to be located. The CableTool CT50 is connected to the other end of the cable to receive the signal. The devices are compact and require no additional mounting or installation.

The set is designed for use in IT networks, particularly for cable types such as UTP, STP, and other related cabling types.

Operational Advantages
The combination of testing and tracing functions in one set reduces the time required for fault diagnosis and cable identification. The devices are compact and easy to operate, increasing efficiency during maintenance and installation. Tracing is performed without additional tools or accessories, simplifying workflows. The devices are designed for use in professional IT environments, where fast and reliable cable identification is required.
