An "extended" tester designed to cover the essential field connections
The CT3 was designed as a versatile cable tester, capable of centralizing the verification of the most common connectors in audio, lighting, and installations into a single device. Its "multi-format" oriented design makes it a practical tool to reduce adapters and speed up diagnostics during setups, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Who is the CT3 for and when to use it?
The CT3 is aimed at sound and lighting technicians, stage managers, installers, studios, schools, and workshops who want to validate the condition of a cable before a performance or identify a break/inversion of conductors on an already installed line. It is also well suited for environments where network cables, DMX links, and analog audio connections coexist.
Quick checks and reliable diagnostics, even on pre-installed cables
Two-part architecture for long lengths
The CT3 separates into two modules (transmitter and receiver), allowing easy testing of a connection installed between two distant points without having to bring the ends together. An effective solution for racks, stages, bays, and technical passages.
Continuity test with visual indicators and alarm
The integrated test generator, LED indicators, and sound alarm facilitate continuity checks and verification of "pin-to-pin" correspondences according to the connector type. The robust construction is suited for regular use in field conditions.
