## Description

Cable Tester

Review: Very sturdy good assortment of connections - Great equipment sturdy not too heavy easy to use
Review: Great tester - I am a Audio Engineer and this cable tester works great for me. One concern though, the package says it will test 75 ohm bnc (video) but nothing about 50 ohm which is what RF audio antennas use. I haven't tried that connector yet. But it's great. I also like that it has USB A and B ports unlike others with only A ports. For me the only missing ports are 1/8, but that's easily rectified with the device's test cables. One other note: the device is a bit large for persons with small hands so if you wish to take it around, get a case.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Janky battery compartment.
*by A***M on May 21, 2024*

I'm not sure if I was sent an open box, of b stock but the battery compartment won't stay locked in place. I used some gaff tape to do the job, but it was still a bummer. Other than that it's great. Works as it should.
