TOP MAGNETIC LOCATORS FROM SCHONSTEDT INSTRUMENTS


Magnetic locators are designed to locate ferrous materials buried underground by using the Earth’s magnetic field. Surveyors and construction professionals can use them to find a variety of objects. Schonstedt’s oldest model is the GA-52Cx, and it’s still the most popular. It has two controls located on its underside — one for sensitivity and another for volume. And it can be operated by one hand. The GA-72Cd has both audio and video outputs, with an LED that shows polarity and signal strength. The GA-92XTd can be extended during operation and can be used with only one hand. It also has both audio and video outputs.


TELEPHONE AND CABLE APPLICATIONS FOR UTILITY LOCATION


You can use the conductive method to apply a signal directly to the conductive surface. You can also apply signal to the telephone with the inductive method, which can be done in several ways. But you must have a good ground for it travel down the cable path. For non-conductive or non-metallic materials, place the clamp completely around the telephone riser. You can also use the “leapfrogging technique” to find long stretches of telephone cable. Set the transmitter down and return to your original location, while making sure you’re on the right trace path.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of tools are needed for network cabling?

Some of the tools that are needed for network cabling can include but may not be limited to:
  • Punchdown Tool — It can be used to connect the wires that are inside a patch panel, punch down block, keystone module, or surface mount box.
  • Wire Stripper — It's designed to remove the protective covering from an Ethernet Cable, which exposes the inner wires.
  • Screwdriver Set — If there’s any tool that’s essential for network cabling, this would be one of them. And you should have a set of different kinds that you can use for various purposes.
  • Wire Cutter — It can be used to cut through cable and its wires. Higher-end models will often have an insulated handle, so you don’t get shocked from any wires with which you are currently working.
  • Cable Crimping Tool — It's used to connect two pieces of metal by deforming one (or sometimes both) in a way that it causes them to hold each other together.
  • Cable Tester — It can be used to test the strength and connectivity of a particular kind of cable. There are many different types, with each one being able to test several different kinds of cable.
Even if you don’t use all these tools, it can be useful to have them available in case you need to do some troubleshooting or need to upgrade an existing network.

What are cabling tools used for?

Cabling tools are used to pull or route cables and wires through walls, over drop-ceilings, and in almost any area that may be hard to reach. Most networking professionals have to use these tools to run long stretches of Ethernet cable, which are needed for a network installation.

What kind of tools are used by cable installers?

Cable installers will need a set of zip ties, so they can effectively manage cables and wires. They will also need a cable hider to protect them from traffic. The same thing can also be accomplished with cable raceways, which use a hinged conduit system that’s made of PVC. And every cable installer needs to have a set of cabling tools that can be used for anything from testing to termination.

What can I use instead of cabling tools?

DIY projects can be fun and even rewarding, but they can also be a complete nightmare. That’s why you need to have the right tools to make sure your project doesn’t go wrong. Ethernet cables (which are usually CAT 5e, CAT 6, or CAT 6a) don’t have a lot of voltage, but they also shouldn’t be attached to anything that can push a lot of current. So, working with these kinds of cables isn’t dangerous if they’re used as intended. But no matter what kind of tools you use, you should take certain precautions while you’re working around the AC power lines throughout your home or putting holes inside parts of its structure.

Where can I find quality cabling tools?

If you’re looking for a place where you can find Porter Cable tools or a product from some other brand, you can find what you need at Engineer Supply. We have a variety of tools that can be used for running cables and wires. So whether you need a cable crimping tool or some other product that can be used for that type of work, be sure to look at what we have in stock.
