About Cable Testers

Cable testers are handheld, benchtop, or floor-standing electronic devices that measure the electrical and physical properties of cabling. They are used to certify cabling to published standards, and as a troubleshooting tool. Cable testers are used with many different types of cables. Common types of cabling include Category 3 (Cat 3), Category 5 (Cat 5) and Category 6 (Cat 6) cables; coaxial, triaxial, and twisted pair; RG6 and RG11; fiber optic, fibre channel, and IEEE 1394; parallel, serial, and universal serial bus (USB); small computer system interface (SCSI) and general-purpose interface bus (GPIB); and Ethernet and local area network (LAN) cables. Cable testers are also used to test cabling for proprietary interfaces and architectures such FireWire®, a registered trademark of Apple Computer, Inc., and Infiniband®, a registered trademark of the InfiniBand Trade Association.
