What Is The Behringer Ct100 Cable Tester?

The Behringer Ct100 Cable Tester is a microprocessor controlled cable tester. It is an electrical device that is used to make sure that all the cables are working properly. It is used a lot in an audio industry.

The Behringer Ct100 Cable Tester accepts almost any kind of connector type such as XLR, mono, TRS phone, RCA, and MIDI. It will also show which input pin is attached to what output pin.

The Behringer Ct100 Cable Tester is mostly used by music and sound engineers. With all of the cables, usually cat5 that are used in live and studio situations, it is a necessity for the engineers to be able to pin point exactly where a power problem might be coming from.

The main features of the Behringer Ct100 Cable Tester is there are three modes which are the cable test mode, installed cable test mode, and test tone mode. It has continuity checks, intermittent detection, phantom power detection, grounded shield detection, test tone generation, and it gets its power from two AA alkaline batteries.

To explain some of these features, the cable test mode requires only one insertion of a plug and will check the cable for any short circuit or open circuit. A short circuit is a circuit that allows a current to flow along a different path then what it was intended for. An open circuit is a circuit that lacks a complete path between the positive and the negative terminals of its power source.

The installed cable test mode in the Behringer Ct100 Cable Tester also test the cable for short circuits and open circuits but it is a cable of an apparatus that is permanently installed at the network cabling site.

The test tone mode of the Behringer Ct100 Cable Tester which is a test tone generator that turns the PC into a functioning generator for testing demonstrations, sound tuning, and education.

The continuity checks of the Behringer Ct100 Cable Tester test for a continuous flow in the input resulting in a continuous flow in the output. The intermittent detection checks for a maintained average amount of power from the power source to the apparatus.

The phantom power source of the Behringer Ct100 Cable Tester tests the powers of such items as a microphone or amplifiers. The grounded shield protection of the Behringer Ct100 Cable Tester protects from magnetic electric interferences through the cables. And, the test tone generation of the Behringer Ct100 Cable Tester is the software.
