ABSTRACT:
A coaxial cable testing device has a modular construction wherein the several pieces may be configured in different arrangements to fulfill the separate functions of a flashlight, a continuity checker, a cable identifier, and a bandit splitter detector. The pieces are provided with connector elements which allow each of the pieces to fit together and the pieces are small enough to conveniently fit in the shirt pocket of a cable television technician. In the flashlight configuration, a battery pack (10) and a flexible flashlight assembly (18) are interconnected. In the continuity checker or cable identifier configuration, the battery pack (10) is connected to one end of a cable (28) and the detector section (24) and shorting plug (26) are connected to the other end of the cable (28). In the bandit splitter detector configuration, the battery pack (10) is connected to the detector section (24) which is connected to the cable (28). An LED (32) provides visual signals to the technician when continuity is determined or bandit splitters are detected.
