Overview
The CableMaster 500 is designed to test and measure lengths of
all common low voltage cabling found in today’s network, video or
telephone systems. It also maps the locations of cable ends by sending a
tone on the cable that can be traced with a tone tracer or by blinking the
LED on the port jack. The CableMaster 500 has a large, bright backlit LCD
display and glow-in-the-dark buttons to directly access each function.
The remote stores inside the main unit for ease of cable testing.
The CableMaster 500 is turned on by pressing the power button and
begins operating in the last mode used or the selected mode twisted
pair (DATA), coax (VIDEO), telephone (VOICE), tone generation (TONE) or
Port Link-Blink (LINC).
