Using the Cable Tester is simple: insert the cable into a connector socket and power on the device. Red and yellow LEDs will light up and blink, each representing a wire in the cable. If an LED doesn’t light up, that wire is broken. If the LED lights don’t match the wire numbers, the cable is poorly made. If all LEDs light up, there’s a short present. A push button allows you to pause the blinking.
