Stanz Pocket Toner Coax Cable Tracker RG6 RG59 CATV

Stanz Pocket Toner is a compact, all‑metal coaxial and cable tracker that uses an audible tone and red LED to help you identify and test RG6, RG59 and CATV lines quickly.

Small enough to fit in a technician’s pocket, the Stanz Pocket Toner pairs a tone generator with an LED short‑circuit indicator so you can trace coaxial runs and check circuit integrity on site. Its right‑angled push‑on connector, rugged blue anodized aluminum body and AAA battery power make it a portable, reliable tool for installers, AV pros, and maintenance staff who need a straightforward way to locate individual cables in bundles and detect faults.

How do I use the Stanz Pocket Toner to trace a coaxial cable?

Attach the toner’s right‑angled male push‑on connector to the transmitting end or to a tone adaptor on the outlet. Then move along the cable group with the receiver or listen for the audible tone; when the correct cable is contacted, the unit will beep and the receiver will indicate the signal.

• Connect transmitter to outlet or cable feed point
• Apply tone adaptor to a bundle if tracing several cables
• Listen for the audible tone to identify the matching cable
• Use LED to detect shorted or open circuits

What does the LED indicator tell me about the cable?

The built‑in red LED lights up when a short or fault is detected, giving a quick visual cue about circuit integrity. This lets you spot problematic runs without needing complex test gear, saving time during installations and troubleshooting.

• Red LED signals short circuit or continuity issues
• Visual confirmation complements the audible tone
• Useful for both new installs and existing systems
• Clear, immediate feedback reduces guesswork

Which cable types and connections does this toner support?

Designed primarily for coaxial standards, the Stanz Pocket Toner works with RG6, RG59 and CATV lines and adapts easily to common feeder points. Its right‑angled push‑on connector offers quick attachment for F‑type or push‑on style connections used in many consumer and professional installations.

• Compatible with RG6 and RG59 coaxial cables
• Useful on CATV infrastructure and similar coax runs
