Rerouting cat5 and fax lines....tracing them to source is impossible...is there equipment that can tap into each??

I have to reroute a mixture of cat5 and analog fax lines about 100 sq ft.  Tracing their path is impossible.  Is there a tool that can pin point what each line is or is attached too???

The problem with the Testum is that you can't easily move the tone around onto different wires within the cabling.  Since it's got that phone adapter, I bet it sends tone down blue & white blue only.
Nope. You can pick one wire out of the set or different pairs or all wires.
In the programming on the screen?  That's cool.
yes. Mine also came with a set of alligator clips that you can plug in.
So, Level9, that's how you do it, with a tone and probe.  That answer your question?
