    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q1: Can it trace through energized cables?

    A: Yes – non-invasive mode works on live networks

    Q2: Does it require grounding for accurate results?

    A: No – floating ground technology prevents false readings

    Q3: What’s the minimum cable length it can detect?

    A: 6 inches (15cm) – ideal for patch panel work

    Q4: Can it identify multiple cables at once?

    A: Yes – unique tone combinations allow 8 simultaneous traces

    Q5: Is calibration required?

    A: Auto-calibrates on power-up (manual override available)

    Q6: Does it work with shielded cables?

    A: Yes – adaptive signal penetration handles STP/FTP
