The CableMaster 500 is designed to test and measure lengths of
all common low voltage cabling found in today’s network, video or
telephone systems. It also maps the locaons of cable ends by sending a
tone on the cable that can be traced with a tone tracer or by blinking the
LED on the port jack. The CableMaster 500 has a large, bright backlit LCD
display and glow-in-the-dark buons to directly access each funcon.
The remote stores inside the main unit for ease of cable tesng.
The CableMaster 500 is turned on by pressing the power buon and
begins operang in the last mode used or the selected mode twisted
pair (DATA), coax (VIDEO), telephone (VOICE), tone generaon (TONE) or
Port Link-Blink (LINC).

SAFETY INFORMATION
To ensure safe operaon of the CableMaster, follow the instrucons
carefully.
Poorly terminated RJ45 connectors have the potenal to damage
the jacks on the CableMaster 500. Always visually inspect an RJ45
connector before inserng it into the tester. All the contacts should
always be recessed into the plasc housing of the connector.
The use of a Port Saver, a sacricial adapter with an RJ45 on one end
and an RJ45 jack on the other, is highly recommended to extend the
life of the jack.
Only insert RJ45 connectors into the RJ45 jack in the tester. Plugging
6-posion connectors (RJ12/RJ11) into the 8-posion jack on the tester
may damage the outermost contacts of the jack unless the connector is
specically designed for that purpose.
The CableMaster 500 is designed for use on
unenergized cabling systems.
Connecng the CableMaster 500 to live AC power
may damage it and pose a safety hazard for the
user.
Failure to observe these warnings
can result in severe injury or death.

Using the Tester
The corresponding connectors at the top end of the tester are labeled
the same as their mode switches. An icon for the currently selected
mode will appear or ash on the screen.
To turn the CableMaster 500 o when in one of the cable test modes,
press and hold the power buon unl the tester powers o.
The top line of numbers (Fig 2) on the display represents the connector
pins on the main unit. The second line of pin numbers represents the
connector pin numbers of the remote, normally being the same as the
top line for a one-to-one wired cable.
If there is a mis-wire (Fig 3), the pin numbers on the second line will
indicate the pin numbers detected and the “Fail” icon will appear.
Figure 3 - Mis-Wire
The associated pin numbers of a mis-wired pairs will blink in the
remote row. If no connecon was detected for some of the pins, the
rst and second line of pin numbers will be blank in those pin locaons.
If a short is detected, the second line (Fig 4) will have a dash ‘-’ in those
posions along with “Short” appearing.
Note that this tester will not determine which end of a faulty cable is
mis-wired, reversed, or split.
