Super handy if you've moved into a house with random wiring that you don't know where it goes/what it does like we did

We just bought a new house and I have a feeling this will come in handy.

Nope. It can be used to trace many NON-energized cables. It won't last long if you try to use it on energized power cables.

Can I use it to find a dead end of a 110v outlet?

I've used my fluke toner to trace 120 vac wires that were disconnected from the power, so yes. In my case I was searching for with wire from a switch to find the end.

Do you think it can detect the signal through a thick tile?

I don't know about this unit, but the closer to the wire the better chance you have for finding the tone. Mine won't tone thru a conduit, but it will thru sheet rock if the wire is close to it.

How far from the wire can you be before it becomes unreliable? I'd like to map out a dead zone on a security system I inherited. I have no idea which sensors are involved so if the detector needs to be within, say, an inch that's probably going to be a non-starter for me.

It will work through tile or anything not metal. I tried a similar device through metal siding and the signal does not pass through the metal.

Usually about one foot away from the wire will get you a signal. Two feet away there will be no signal.
If possible, connect one wire to a good ground and the other to the wire you want to trace.

There's a really good video on YouTube about how this product works. A guy made a small version of a wall and showed how you can trace cables inside the wall with this tool.

I have a commercial property with hundreds of Ethernet cables, I have no idea where they are going. Will this help me find where they end up? How does it work? Appreciate any insight.
