Portable multi-function cable tester

A method of assembly, comprising:

• fabricating a wire-configurable directional connector to couple with a plurality of wires at a second end of a cable under test comprising a first wire, a second wire, and a third wire;
• and
• fabricating a wire-specific voltage pulse generation main test unit to generate:
• a first voltage pulse to selectively enter the first wire of a first end of the cable under test, travel through the wire-configurable directional connector attached to the second end, and selectively leave at least one of the second wire and the third wire at the first end of the cable under test;
• and
• a second voltage pulse to selectively enter the second wire at the first end of the cable under test, travel through the wire-configurable directional connector attached to the second end, and selectively leave the third wire at the first end of the cable under test;
• wherein fabricating the wire-configurable directional connector further comprises:
• providing a plurality of diodes comprising a first and second diode each with first and second connector, at least the first and second diodes are adapted to only allow current to pass from each second connector of at least the first and second diodes;
• providing a plurality of conductive path structures comprising a first, second, and third conductive path structure;
• providing a connection interface section that is formed to selectively and respectively couple and electrically interface the plurality of wires comprising at least the first, second and third wires with the plurality of conductive path structures comprising at least the first, second, and third conductive path structures;
• connecting the first conductive path structure with the first connector of the first diode;
• connecting the second connector of the first diode with the second conductive path structure;
• connecting the first connector of the second diode with the second conductive path structure;
• and
• connecting the second connector of the second diode with the third conductive path structure.
