How do I detect coaxial cable wiring faults and cable coaxial installing mistakes?

Detecting Coaxial Cable Wiring Faults and Installation Mistakes

You might not know from a visual inspection that you've made mistakes in your cable coaxial installing, or that your coaxial cable wiring is faulty. You might have used a poor grade of coaxial cable wire in your installation.

You can invest in a coaxial RF cable tester, an inexpensive gadget (around $50) that can test a wide range of coax cables and identify wiring faults by LED lights. A coaxial RF cable tester can test up to 4 different cables at one end. While it can't detect problems in cable connectors or help you correctly install coaxial cable connector, it can avert trouble. Before you start your coaxial cable installation, buy a coaxial cable RF tester.
