Which tester do you need?
- Audio and stage leads: the Tenma 72-9966 tests XLR 3 and 5-pin, 6.3mm and 3.5mm TRS jack, Speakon 4 and 8-pole, phono, DIN, RJ45 and USB, and shows each conductor on its own LED.
- Network cables: the ANENG M469D steps through pins 1 to 8 plus shield on Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6 and Cat7 leads. Its remote slides off, so you can test a run that's already installed across a venue.
What a continuity tester tells you
Both testers show open conductors, shorts and crossed pairs: the faults behind crackles, dropouts and dead channels. Neither measures cable length or certifies network performance. EtherCON leads can be tested by removing the outer shell to reach the RJ45 plug.
Tips for the workbox
- Test spares and repaired leads before they go back in the case.
- Both testers run on a 9V PP3 battery, so keep a spare with them. See 9V batteries.
- Label faulty leads straight away with gaffer tape so they don't find their way back into the rig.
