Description
The dbx CT-3 is a cable tester for audio, network, MIDI and DMX cables, with RJ45, RJ11, MIDI, speaker twist, XLR, RCA phono, BNC, DIN, TRS, TS, DMX and banana connections. Its chassis splits into a sender and a receiver, so installed cables and long runs can be tested from both ends.
LEDs show the pin connections on cables with up to 8 pins, and a test tone generator with a level control checks the signal path. Cables with a different connector at each end connect directly. A banana-jack continuity tester has a beeper and an LED. The CT-3 runs on two 9 V batteries, one in each half, which are sold separately.
