Plug the cable into the appropriate jacks on the main tester and
remote tester. Failure to do so can damage the connectors.
CABLE TESTING GENERAL GUIDELINES
The CableMaster tests video, data, and voice cables to detect potential faults, shows a
cable’s wire pairing, and examines the physical properties of a cable.
Important Points to Note
• The RJ jacks for data and voice cables share internal connections within the tester
Only one RJ cable can be connected at a time for accurate cable test results.
• An RJ cable and a coax cable may be connected at the same time. In ID mode, all
connectors on the Tester may be connected at the same time.
• To easily toggle between cable test modes, press the desired cable type button.
IMPORTANT POINTS TO NOTE
The CableMaster is designed for use on unenergized cabling
systems. Connecting the CableMaster to live AC power may
damage the unit and pose a safety hazard for the user.
Poorly terminated RJ plugs, the head of a cable, have the potential
to damage the jacks on the CableMaster. Visually inspect the RJ
plug before inserting it into the tester to ensure you are inserting
the plug into the appropriate jack of the remote-end or tester-end
of the unit (ex. data cable plug fits into data jack on the unit).
The cable’s contacts should always be recessed into the plastic
housing of the receiving jack. Plugging a 6-position phone plug into
the 8-position data jack on the tester has the potential to damage
the outer-most contacts of the jack. Insert the cable into the
appropriate connector on the remote end or tester end of the unit.
