multi cable tester

NEXUM is a customizable multi cable tester.

You can test cables with a maximum of 20 pins in three formats:
• 2.54mm  2x8 - 2x5 / 2x8 - 2x5 headers
• 2.00mm  2x10 / 2x10 headers
• 1.27mm  2x10 / 2x10 headers
At the bottom there are four sockets to test:
• TS cables  mono patch cables
• TRS cables  stereo ones

The connection is considered true - blue LED lit - only if there is no continuity
between the adjacent wire of the cable or discontinuity in that specific core1

There are also two LEDs indicators directly wired to the power lines that will let
you know if the -12 or +12 are misbehaving.
It’s a module for the mass-producing-cables-addicted but also for testing a single
one before powering up a new module.
Be sure that all the spaghetti are working before a gig. Just test them all!
