Frequent Asked Question

CCT-01 can only save only 1 connection in the device. It is easier to use when you need to save only 1 connection. There is no need for you to select any cable configuration to load, or save the learned connection to any particular memory. Less chance of human mistake.
You simply just need to keep one master cable in good condition for each type of cable you often need to test. Simply learn the master cable instantly and start testing other cables right away. There is nothing to select, which can be pretty abstract, especially for a new user.

The question asked if the cable connection that is scanned and learned, is there a way to store this connection matrix as a file on a computer for later use. You can copy out the cable connection matrix and save it as a text file for comparison later.

If you are keen to explore this option, you can go to this page to learn the various methods of testing cables without having to hold onto a physical master cable.

While this feature may sound powerful, and save place by allowing the keeping of the cable configuration in digital form instead of keeping the physical cable, the actual operation of the tester may not be as easy to use. Having worked with many customers, and listening to their feedback, we come to design this CCT-01 Cable Tester.

The team also needs to know the cable and load up the correct configuration of the cable under testing.
The operator also needs to know how the plug is connected to the tester. All these make the setup more complex and tedious to operate. All these are actually very costly, time-consuming, and prone to human error.

The CCT-01 Cable Tester is designed to be very simple to use.
So easy to use that learning to use is fast and easy.

We design it in such a way that even a layman knows how to operate it with minimum training effort.
The disadvantage of our design is that you have to keep a physical working cable as a master for learning.
Simply learn the physical cable instantly, and begin testing the rest of the cable immediately.
There is no need to look for cable configuration files to load and set up.
The process is fast and it requires no prior experience, training, or memory.
Anyone, including none technical staff, finds it easy to operate.

Simple to use is productive and efficient. Save time and money.

Yes. CCT-01 can operate as a standalone unit, it can also interface to a computer device to display more detailed information about the cable under testing.

There is no dedicated software needed to operate this device. You do not need to buy any software as well.
If you need to see a cable test report or more detailed information, you can simply download terminal software.
There are many terminal software available on the market. They are freely available for download onto your computer PC or even on your mobile phone. You can check out this page for some of the recommended free terminal software.

Yes. You can write your own program to interface with the CCT-01.
It uses serial communication (USB virtual serial comm port).
The Serial Com Port settings can be found on this page.

It is written for the human interface, but you can also write software to interact with the device.
If you have brought the device and need help with serial communication, you can email us for further guidance step by step.
It uses serial communication. Human readable Ascii text.

Yes. The tester will check for connection to the rest of the connected pins.
If there are 8 pins connected together on the same electrical net, the tester will be able to tell and map it.
If one of your 6 pins connection is disconnected from the net, the tester will be able to tell the differences.
The connection will be reflected on the test report (wiring mapping chart).

This is a very common question asked by new customers looking for a cable tester.

Many customers told us that they wanted a cable tester that could store all their cable connection profiles inside the tester. We had custom-designed this feature before and realised that the operator finds the tester more complicated to use. They had to select from a large list of cable profiles, to load and start testing their cable. While it seems a nice feature to have, there are more operating procedures which makes the tester much more complicated to use. The cost of the product is also higher.

Operators often forget how to operate a complicated tester and have to waste time referring back to the operation manual. The manual sometimes got lost and they had to reach out to us for technical support. The operator has to set up the wiring connection exactly to the saved cable profile for the test. The complex system requires more documentation. This takes time and is more tedious for the operator to handle.

We design CCT-01 with simplicity in mind. We want this tester tool to be very simple and intuitive to use.

Before testing any new or changed cable configuration, the operator simply gets the CCT-01 cable tester to learn the configuration of a working master cable. Learning the cable configuration is fast. It takes only about 2-3 seconds. The operator can then proceed with their cable testing.

The downside is that you need to keep a copy of the master cable on hand. The master cable will be used for tester re-learn purposes, as well as a verified original master cable for your production. Most customers have no issue keeping a copy of the master cable for their verification. In fact it is a good practice to keep a copy of a master cable.

Before any cable testing, the operator will use the CCT-01 tester to learn from the master cable.
They can simply plug the pin out to any termination point without referring to any documentation or user manual.
It is a consistent and brainless procedure that most operators will easily remember.
After learning the master cable (which takes only about 2 to 3 seconds of time), they can proceed to test the cable.

Many customers find this way much more productive.

We also have customers buying many of the CCT-01 cable connection testers, assigning one tester to each of their cable configurations. They want to keep their operation even simpler and more efficient. In this case, there is no need to relearn the cable as each tester set is assigned to test their specific cable part. The cable configuration is permanently stored on each CCT-01 tester.

For customers who are still not convinced and prefer the tester that can load and test for multiple cable profiles, you can check out this spreadsheet testing method. Click here for ideas of operating the CCT-01 Cable Tester without the need for Master Cable.
