Review: Great tester - I am a Audio Engineer and this cable tester works great for me. One concern though, the package says it will test 75 ohm bnc (video) but nothing about 50 ohm which is what RF audio antennas use. I haven't tried that connector yet. But it's great. I also like that it has USB A and B ports unlike others with only A ports. For me the only missing ports are 1/8, but that's easily rectified with the device's test cables. One other note: the device is a bit large for persons with small hands so if you wish to take it around, get a case. Review: Great unit, super bright LEDs. - This tool is fantastic to have around. It works well, but I had to put some tape over the LEDs so they weren't so blinding. Easy fix. I've used this a lot and it's holding up great. Made of good, solid metal. ## Features - USB Type A to Type B Connects - Cable Tester f XLR - 75-Ohm BNC - Ethernet - SpeakON ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0085GYT30 | | Best Sellers Rank | #18,792 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #347 in Instrument Cables | | Brand | Hosa | | Brand Name | Hosa | | Color | Original Version | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 317 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00728736053939, 30728736052162 | | Included Components | Hosa CBT500 Audio Cable Tester | | Item Dimensions | 11.85 x 5.95 x 3.2 inches | | Item Type Name | AUDIO CABLE TESTER | | Item Weight | 2 pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 11.85 x 5.95 x 3.2 inches | | Manufacturer | Hosa | | Measurement Type | Ohmmeter | | Minimum Operating Voltage | 9 volts_of_direct_current | | Model | CBT-500 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | HOS CBT500 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Specification Met | UL | | Style | Modern | | Style Name | Modern | | UPC | 728736053939 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Limited lifetime. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Hosa - **Color:** Original Version - **Item Weight:** 454 Grams - **Power Source:** Battery Powered - **Style:** Modern ## Images ![CBT-500 Audio Cable Tester - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61I7c77CyQL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tester *by N***Y on June 2, 2017* I am a Audio Engineer and this cable tester works great for me.

It works well, but I had to put some tape over the LEDs so they weren't so blinding. Easy fix. I've used this a lot and it's holding up great. Made of good, solid metal. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works *by J***T on May 16, 2017* Does as designed, didn't realize how large it was until I got it, it's pretty big for a small gig bag. I appreciate the continuity test probes for the possibility of testing rare or odd cables. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hosa CBT-500 Audio Cable Tester - SoundTools XLR Sniffer/Sender Microphone Cable Remote End Cable Tester - MFL. 15-Plug Audio Cable Tester Line Finder Black 15-in-1 Cables Checker 10-Way Switch Wire Tracker with LED Indicators, Rectangular --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/1353889-cbt-500-audio-cable-tester](https://www.desertcart.in/products/1353889-cbt-500-audio-cable-tester) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-09-02*
