Can i use this to trace a coax cable

sure, just disconnect both ends of the cable and connect the transmitter device to one end. One clip to the center conductor, one clip to the shield or the connector. this will put a signal on the line and you should be able to hear the tone on the other end. Just make sure there isn't a TV or such connected to it. You won't get a strong signal. And, because Coax is a shielded cable you'll only be able to read the center conductor.

I haven't done it, but on page seven of the user manual from fluke, it shows an example of a coax cable being traced with one end of the alligator clips being connected to the coax, and one to ground, with the probe used on the other end and the rest of the cable before the break. Plus other reviewers have said that they have traced coax, the link to the manual is here http://www.testequipmentdepot.com/flukenetworks/pdf/pro3000_manu.PDF. But you should do further research yourself, as said, I haven't actually used it for coax 'yet', myself.

Yes, attach one clip to the shield or pin (the shield might work better) and ground the other.

Yes, because it has the alligator clips you can use it to trace pretty much any wires. Be careful though, I do not know if there is any built in circuit protection in case you have live wires.

Yes there is one tip that screws on to the end of the coax cable that you trying to find/test , it has a led that lights up green if your connection is good, I highly recommend this tester, I'm an a/v tech and it's a great value for its price

No, this is for Cable/QAM/Cable Modems, basically if it runs through Coaxile.

No. this is the wrong tool for that job. This tool works with F type connectors, commonly used for TV signals.

You can, although during at home testing, the cable company has shown me errors that come up due to signal loss by going through a surge protector's coax in/out.

Yes. If the cable is terminated correctly at both ends, you can use the Ethernet ports, otherwise you can test using the supplied alligator clips on the signal generator.

To be honest I think you will have to try it or call the company about your location. By the way, I am happy with the product, I install in the attic of my house run coax cable to both of my TV.

i would not recomend it on a live circuit. but if you new it was a dead circuit, it would work. pervided you could get close to the wire you were tracing.

You'd have to take the output coax from the camera and put it into your recording device, then add a coax from your recording device to the main controller. As long as your recording device allows a pass-thru signal, you should be fine.

Probably has, why not? Coax is just an RF pipe. I'm using it for 0 - 30 mHz receive only.

Yes, you can split the cable and record using the coax cable input on this device and bypass the cable DVR box. The DVR coax output on cable boxes is analog; therefore, this unit will not record from the cable DVR box. In addition, only broadcast HD TV channels can be recorded with this device.

You probaably could use that cable, but i thinks its overkill, RG-6 coax would suffice

The dvr you choose must have the ability to record sound. The unit is wired and coax cabling must be routed to your DVR. If this answer doesn't help you entirely; just ask another question & you shall get more help ASAP...take care

Yes, as long as the Mag can be 1st on the coax in an OTA antenna or cable TV system, or on one leg of a 2-way splitter. The coax circuit is an amplified, built-in splitter that send the raw signal thru to a cable box or TV while sending it also to the tuner so both components can tune channels separatel... record one channel while watching a diff. channel with the cable box's or TV's tuner.

First of all, make sure that your cable signal isn't scrambled (requires a decoder box). If it isn't, what you are looking for is called "coaxial cable" ("coax cable" for short), and can be found for under $10 on Amazon.

I used a really old one at work almost exclusively for Coax (RG59 mainly, but 6 as well). A dedicated coax stripper might be better for you if you just want to do coax, but I use this for various wire types.
