Kopul CBT-MF Overview

The Kopul CBT-MF is a professional-quality cable tester with a split-chassis design that allows users to test the continuity of a wide variety of cables with a single device. It quickly identifies connectivity and ground problems in some of the most frequently-used cables, and makes troubleshooting audio and studio setups fast and effortless.

The split chassis allows users to separate the two halves of the CBT-MF. This feature provides an easy way to test the continuity of long cables that have been run through walls or ceilings as well as cables that have been put into audio or home theater installations. LED indicators and tones verify that each pin on the cable is properly connected. For additional functionality, the CBT-FM generates a test tone, great for troubleshooting a variety of connections.

The CBT-MF can test cables with any combination of Speakon 4-pin, XLR 3-pin, XLR 5-pin, TRS, DIN 3-pin/5-pin, RCA, RJ45, RJ11, BNC, or TRS 3.5mm connectors. Two removable leads are included for testing any kind of wire or cable with jacks that are not included on this model. They also allow for testing connections when building or repairing cables or when wiring studios or audio installations.

The CBT-MF is ideal for home, project, and professional studio use. Constructed with lightweight and durable plastic, the CBT-MF is a road-ready tool for studio techs and install engineers.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. The inclusion of the continuity tester/probes is also nice. Great for theater/live production techs.

question

Does this tester serves for SDI HD cable? RG-59
Asked by: Anonymous
Yes, we use this tester to check HD SDI (BNC) Cables. Not it only tests continuity and not impedance.

Can this test cables with different connector types on each end? For example XLR on one end and TRS on the other.
Asked by: Kenneth
Yes, even with TRS to RCA or other mismatched balanced/unbalanced cables. You just have to recognize that the reason it is showing one of three wires faulted is because RCA has only 2 wires by design.

question

Will this unit test the shield on a shielded Cat6?
Asked by: Topher
I did not purchase this unit, I bought the lower unit dedicated to analog audio. Your answer may be best answered by the manufacturer. On my balanced audio cables it does not test the shield.

question

Does the tone generator send the tones on all of the connectors, including the RJ45? Can one use an inductive probe to trace wires with the generated tones?
Asked by: Anonymous
Yes it sends a tone on RJ45. The tone is only to signal 1st line as it cycles through the 8 lines of ethernet cable. The additional continuity is tested using the 8 led's
