Quick wire identification for technicians

The aFe Power wire tracer kit includes a transmitter with an RJ11 plug, a non-contact probe and a pair of alligator clips. It is designed for electricians, network installers and automotive technicians who need to locate cables without stripping insulation. The tool works on telephone lines, coaxial cables and general low-voltage wiring in residential or light-commercial settings.

Sustained tracing with adjustable sensitivity

The probe picks up the transmitter tone without touching the conductor, and a rotary control lets the user match volume and sensitivity to the environment. Continuity mode lights a red LED when a short or open circuit is detected, then tone mode can be used to follow the fault to its exact location. The transmitter requires two 9V batteries, which are not supplied with the kit.

Simple hook-up, limited voltage range

Alligator clips snap onto bare conductors or terminal screws, while the RJ11 plug inserts directly into a telephone jack for line-status checks. The instructions warn that the unit must not be used on live AC circuits or in commercial-building installations, so installers should verify the circuit is de-energised before connecting. No software or drivers are involved; the kit is ready once batteries are fitted.

Questions about this item

How much power does the aFe Power wire tracer draw when running all day?

The kit is battery powered and requires two 9V batteries, which are not included.

What must I already own for the tracer to work?

You need to supply two 9V batteries; the probe, transmitter, alligator clips and RJ11 connector are all in the box.

Will the non-contact probe pick up a tone on older telephone or coaxial cables I keep?

Yes, the probe audibly identifies the selected wire without touching it, and the RJ11 plug tests telephone line condition.
