I am trying to find an electric signal tracer that generates its own signal and power so it could be used for many types of wiring. Like cat 5, or antenna coax, 12v lines as well as 120v. Just to check continuity, to find the right wire, not test it's condition.
Home Depot has one for $40 that plugs into a 120v circuit to find that breaker. But only for 120v. And it has to have the circuit live, wouldn't work if the breaker or circuit is dead. How is that useful?
I have seen fox and hound testers for hundreds of dollars, but why so much? How hard could it be for an electrical wizard which I am not.
Any one know a cheap source? Thanks
