Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns
-
Does it test HDMI 2.1 cables?
-
Yes, it can test the continuity of the 19 pins required for HDMI 2.1, though it primarily verifies the physical wiring rather than high-frequency bandwidth protocols.
-
-
How do I know if a cable is "shorted"?
-
If two LEDs on the master or remote unit light up simultaneously for one pin signal, or if the sequence is out of order, the tester indicates a short or cross-wire.
-
-
Can I test cables longer than 50 feet?
-
Absolutely. The detachable remote unit is designed specifically to test cables that span across different rooms or floors.
