Abstract
A cable tester for testing the individual conductors of a multiconductor cable. The cable tester includes a transmitter for connection to one end of the cable and a receiver for connection to the opposite end of the cable. The receiver includes a microprocessor having an EPROM memory. The receiver also includes an LCD display and a key pad for data input. In use the transmitter sequentially generates voltage pulses through each conductor of the cable and to the receiver. The receiver monitors these pulses at the opposite end of the cable and feeds this data into the microprocessor for processing and display on the LCD display. The cable tester quickly detects shots, opens, or crossed conductors within the cable and provides results of the testing on the LCD display.
