Frequently Asked Questions - T040-001-HDMI Tripp Lite

How do I power the T040-001-HDMI tester?

Insert a 9V battery (not included) into the battery compartment before testing. Ensure the cable under test is not connected to the tester when inserting the battery.

What cable types can I test with this device?

The tester is compatible with HDMI versions 1.0 through 2.1 and supports Type A-A, A-C, and C-C connectors.

What is the difference between Continuity and Sweep modes?

In Continuity mode, all LEDs illuminate simultaneously for sync testing. In Sweep mode, LEDs light up one at a time for step-by-step verification.

How do I test an installed cable?

Remove the Remote Identifier from the Main Tester. Connect one end of the cable to the Main Tester and the other end to the Remote Identifier. Switch to the desired test mode.

What does it mean if all LEDs light up?

If all LEDs on both the Main Tester and Remote Identifier illuminate, the cable has a straight (proper) connection and is ready for use.

How can I identify a crossed connection?

In Sweep mode, if an LED on the Remote Identifier lights up out of sequence compared to the Main Tester (e.g., pin 14 on Master, pin 19 on Remote), the wires are crossed. Crossed connections cannot be tested in Continuity mode.

What does an open circuit look like on the tester?

If the same pin LED remains off on both the Main Tester and Remote Identifier, that wire is an open circuit.

How do I detect a short circuit?

A short circuit causes the Main Tester's LEDs to glow brighter while the Remote Identifier's LEDs remain off.

What is the maximum cable length I can test?

The tester is designed for cables up to 164 feet (50 meters) in length.

How do I clean and maintain the tester?

Clean the exterior with a dry, soft cloth. Replace the 9V battery when the LEDs dim or fail to light. Avoid moisture and store in the carrying case when not in use.

Product Features

- All-in-one unit combines a Main Tester with a removable Remote Identifier

- Compatible with HDMI versions 1.0 through 2.1

- Fast and accurate verification of HDMI cables with Type A-A, A-C or C-C connectors

- Displays 19 pin-to-pin wire map and shield connection status to ensure mapping continuity and proper configuration

- Two adjustable test modes available: Continuity and Sweep

Operation

Note: Before testing, insert a 9V battery (not included) and ensure the cable being tested is not yet connected to the tester.

Testing

Simply connect the desired cable to the unit, then switch the Sweep/OFF/Continuity button to “Continuity” for sync testing, or “Sweep” for step-by-step testing.

Note: During sync testing, all LEDs illuminate on the wire map at once. During step-by-step testing, the LEDs will illuminate one at a time.

When testing uninstalled patch cable, you can leave the Main Tester and Remote Identifier connected.

When testing installed cable, you will need to remove the Remote Identifier from the Main Tester. Connect one end of the cable to the appropriate connector on the Main Tester, and the other end of the cable to the appropriate connector on the Remote Identifier.

Note: Upon switching to the desired testing mode, the LEDs on the Main Tester and Remote Identifier will illuminate to indicate the results.

If testing HDMI A-to-A cables, use “A pin” side numbers found on both the Main Tester and Remote Identifier. For HDMI A-to-C and C-to-C cables, use “C pin” side numbers found on both the Main Tester and Remote Identifier.

Detecting Connections

Note: This product is designed to test cable lengths up to 164 ft. (50 m).

When a cable connection from both ends is detected, the LEDs will illuminate. Listed below are detected connection examples with diagrams showing which pins should illuminate for each connection type.

Note: When no connection is detected between the connectors of the cable being tested, the LEDs will not illuminate

Straight (Proper) Connection

When all LEDs illuminate on both the Master and Remote units, the cable is properly wired and ready to install/use.

Detecting Connections

Crossed Connection

If the wires inside the cable are out of order or crossed, the LEDs on the Remote Identifier will illuminate to show in what order they are wired. For example, in the diagram below, when the Master unit shows pin 14 illuminated, pin 19 on the Remote unit will illuminate, indicating those connections are crossed.

Note: Crossed connections cannot be tested in "Continuity" mode.

Detecting Connections

Open Circuit

If the same LEDs on both the Master and Remote units remain off, the corresponding wire is an open circuit.

Detecting Connections

Short Circuit

If a short circuit is detected, the Remote unit's LEDs will not illuminate, but the Master units LEDs will illuminate brighter.
