Product Features

• All-in-one unit combines a Main Tester with a removable Remote Identifier
• Compatible with DisplayPort versions 1.0 through 1.4
• Fast and accurate verification of DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort cables
• 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

Notes:

• Before testing, insert a 9V battery (not included) and ensure the cable being tested is not yet connected to the tester.
• Do not test live cables or any cable connected to an active device. Cables should be directly connected to the Master Unit, and then to the Remote Unit.

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 DisplayPort-to-DisplayPort cables, use "A pin" side numbers found on both the Main Tester and Remote Identifier. For DisplayPort-to-Mini DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort-to-Mini DisplayPort 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 49 ft. (15 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 the 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 in the cable are out of order or crossed, the LEDs on the Remote Identifier will illuminate to show in what order they are wired. 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.

Open Circuit

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