Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure involve a testing device or apparatus configured to test PTP contacts of user-specified cables capable of transmitting electrical signals along a particular path between two points, such as between a transmitter and a receiver.
Claims10
A testing apparatus for testing a cable comprising:
- a dial operatively connected to a housing containing:
- a first electrical connector, wherein the first electrical connector is:
- wired to a first wire of a cable;
- and
- operatively connected to a first visual indicator connected to at least one first resistor and a power source;
- a second electrical connector, wherein the second electrical connector is:
- wired to a second wire of the cable;
- and
- and operatively connected to a second visual indicator connected to at least one second resistor and the power source;
- and
- wherein, in response to manipulating the dial to identifying a first zone corresponding to the first wire and the first visual indicator, the first electrical connector is configured to illuminate the first visual indicator;
- wherein, in response to manipulating the dial to identifying a second zone corresponding to the second wire and the second visual indicator, the first electrical connector is configured to illuminate a second visual indicator;
- and
- wherein the cable is functioning properly when the first visual indicator and the second visual indicator both illuminate.
