Hi all,

Just wanted to know what are some professional Cable Pair Identifier similar to the Aegis CZ1000.

Any Fluke branded ones you guys could recommend ? or is Aegis one any goods ?



thanks

Not familiar with the Aegis unit you're mentioning, but I assume it's a "toner", in which case, the common one in the US is the Fluke Networks Intellitone series:

They also have an older "analog" one:

I have a Harris branded set that looks absolutely identical to that Pro3000 except it's red instead of black. I just used it yesterday, it works really well.

I highly recommend this one

I have the kit, the 6 little dongle identifiers can save a lot of time sorting individual cables, plus the screen shows if there is any open, shorted or crossed wires.
