Procedure
Step 1 Feed both connectors of the cable into the ports of the cable tester.
Step 2 After the connectors are properly inserted, turn on the tester. If the indicators from 1 to G turn
on simultaneously, you can infer that the pins work normally and the wires are correctly
connected.
NOTE
Turn the switch to the S position to slow down lighting of the indicators so that you can see the
indicators more clearly, as shown in Figure 9-39.
