It supports tracing of electrical, LAN, telephone, and multi-conductor cables with adjustable sensitivity and TrueTrace cadence shift for precise pair identification. Built for durability and ease of use, it includes overload protection, multiple tone modes, and a comprehensive accessory set, making it the trusted choice for electricians, network pros, and telecom technicians who demand accuracy and reliability in complex wiring environments. ## Description The Triplett Fox & Hound (3399) wire tracing kit consists of a versatile Fox 2 Tone Generator (Toner) and a high-performance Hound 3 Inductive Amplifier (Probe). Constructed with high-quality materials, this wire tracing kit is lightweight and easy to use. The portable design allows you to trace wires whenever needed. The Fox 2 is a battery operated handheld multi-function Toner that generates multiple tones (Pulse or Warble), performs some basic telephone line tests (loop mA, line polarity, and ringing voltage), provides a visual and audible continuity test, and integrates Triplett's own TrueTrace and TripLatch tests while providing overload protection up to 120 VAC. The Hound 3 is a battery operated handheld lightweight Probe, with a thumbwheel sensitivity control and signal strength indicator LED. It improves on previous designs with built-in LED headlights to illuminate dark areas and reduce fluorescent light noise, a bandpass filter to suppress 60Hz and unwanted high frequencies, an earphone jack for noisy or quiet work areas, and an easy access battery cover. Find non-energized wires in walls, ceilings, and floors. Inductive tracer with two probes indicates magnetic fields with audio and visual signals. This kit includes Fox 2, Hound 3, RJ-11 to RJ-45 adapter, plastic duck bill, metal duck bill, headphones, and a sturdy weatherproof carry case.

Review: Amazingly sophisticated product, with an amazingly well-written and educational 64-page manual - If you are looking for a product that was designed by an Engineer instead of a Marketeer, and with a manual that is written by an Engineer rather than a Technical Writer, then this is it! To be sure, it does have its flaws: The manual is the size of a credit card, with 62 pages of tiny text - I read the PDF on the web instead. The plastic housing lacks the finer fit and finish of more modern products. And, the spaces for the 9V batteries are cramped, making it very difficult to close the covers without a bulge remaining. I also have the $80 Extech 40180, and this product is in quite a different class, with the following additional features: 1. It is provided with a conductive metal probe tip, in addition to the insulated plastic tip. 2. Probe has a signal strength LED, in addition to the speaker / headphone jack. 3. Probe also acts as flashlight, allowing probing in dark spaces without having to turn on noisy fluorescent lights. 4. The injector box has a speaker, in addition to the speaker which is present in the probe. 5. Continuity test has an Audible Tone mode, in addition to Lit LED mode. 6. Tracer tone can be changed between Warble and Pulse without having to open case. 7. TrueTrace feature allows detecting which pair of wires signal is injected in to, by shorting at far end and listening for a change in the pulse rate. 8. It is designed to survive accidental connection across 120 Vac. 9. Injector can be connected to the base-station of a cordless phone, to wirelessly send its test tone to the phone's headsets. This allows you to use the TrueTrace capability at a distant location, even if the probe would not pick up an adequate signal, or would be overwhelmed by 60 Hz related noise. (Though not mentioned in its manual, the Extech can also drive the base-station of a cordless phone, however, without the TrueTrace feature, this is not of much use.) Jumpers inside injector's case also allow: 1. Disable speaker. 2. Disable TrueTrace. 3. Change tone to a higher pitch. 4. Change Warble tone to Continuous tone (The Extech does have a slide switch inside the case to do this). The manual is very clearly written, by someone with a deep understanding and considerable experience in using this product under a variety of difficult test conditions. It would be the envy of Hewlett Packard, which was once known for its excellent user manuals! Note, though, if you are not technically inclined you may find the manual overwhelming, and may prefer the Extech's 4-page manual instead. Review: Godfather of the Fox and Hound! - We work in the power plant industry, which has 10's of thousands of cables/conductors. These 'toners' are stellar in their performance. Triplett's price point may be a little above average, but you get what you pay for! Being trustworthy and durable is more valuable than the initial cost! Buy it! You'll be glad you did! ## Features - Quickly and easily traces various types of cable including electrical wire, twisted pair, LAN cable, multi-conductor cable, telephone cable, alarm cable and more - Fox 2 is a multi-function Toner that generates multiple tones, performs some basic telephone line tests (loop mA and line polarity), and provides a visual and audible continuity test - Fox 2 integrates Triplett TrueTrace cadence shift for definite ID of cable or pair within cable - Hound 3 is a lightweight Probe, with a thumbwheel sensitivity control and signal strength indicator LED - Hound 3 can detect trace tones up to 12" away and features LEDs to light up dark areas and reduce fluorescent light noise ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001ULPREW | | Best Sellers Rank | #136,252 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #253 in Network & Cable Testers | | Brand | Triplett | | Brand Name | Triplett | | Color | 3399 Fox & Hound | | Compatible Devices | Monitor | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 248 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00614395001124, 06143950011246 | | Item Dimensions | 10.5 x 5.75 x 2.5 inches | | Item Weight | 1.05 Pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 10.5 x 5.75 x 2.5 inches | | Manufacturer | Triplett | | Measurement Type | Voltmeter | | Minimum Operating Voltage | 120 Volts (AC) | | Model | 3399 | | Part Number | 3399 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Specification Met | CE, UL | | Style | 3399 Fox & Hound | | Style Name | 3399 Fox & Hound | | UPC | 614395001124 071030449886 072090490481 666673750781 999994741061 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Triplett - **Color:** 3399 Fox & Hound - **Item Weight:** 1.1 Pounds - **Power Source:** Battery Powered - **Style:** 3399 Fox & Hound ## Images ![Fox & Hound Premium Tone and Probe Wire Tracing Kit Generates Multiple Tones with Adjustable Sensitivity for Electrical Wire, LAN Cable, Telephone, and More (3399) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qstpM5GRL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazingly sophisticated product, with an amazingly well-written and educational 64-page manual *by H***I on January 6, 2017* If you are looking for a product that was designed by an Engineer instead of a Marketeer, and with a manual that is written by an Engineer rather than a Technical Writer, then this is it!

(Think "cheap Japanese" 1960) *by D***R on November 23, 2014* Does the job, but for the price I would have expected better engineered cases and better materials in the plastics. Each component takes a 9v battery (not included). Being clever I decided to go with the best and install Li-ion batteries. Would not fit. Exasperating, finally checked and sure enough, alkaline 9v batteries are smaller than lithium and fit more easily. Trouble is, the wires are a tangle in the Hound3 with the speaker perilously fixed between battery and electronics. With the Fox2 the back unscrews and the entire guts of the machine fall out when installing the battery, and it is tricky getting it all back correctly. For $2 more they could have had battery compartments and ABS plastic, and perhaps a smidge larger and easier to use. Funny, because the case is quite nice to carry them in, and even more funny because the box, although cardboard, is quite heavy and has magnets holding the flap down. The corners fall apart on the box but the flap is held with two magnets hidden in the cardboard.
