Fast, snappy and easy to use, the HOSA CBT-500 Cable Tester is a breathe of fresh air when it comes to testing a range of cables commonly encountered on the music and professional audio scenes. Whether the user wants to test both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR cables, balanced or unbalanced phone cables, photo, speakON, DIN, Ethernet or USB Type A to Type B, this convenient Cable Tester is a must-have.

A front panel rotary knob and two rows of 8 LEDs - one of which is amber and the rest green - allow for simple checking of individual pins found in the cable types mentioned above.

The body of the device is made completely of metal so it is resistant to field abuse while protecting its standard 9-volt battery (which is included). The device also includes a battery check function to maintain it's own integrity and ensure proper working condition prior to use.
