Nowadays, there are many possibilities for the users to check the performance of their computers or to identify certain problems that might affect the functions of the computer by using certain types of computer hardware test tools. In this respect, the idea of troubleshooting with cable testers has become more familiar among users. A cable tester is an electronic type of device used to verify he connections within the computer. The main components included within a cable tester are the source of electric current, the volt meter and the switching type of matrix used to connect the previous two components to the contact points within the cable. The cable tester might also contain a certain type of microcontroller and a display which are used to automate the process and to display its results.


The main use of the cable tester is for the verification of the connections existing within the computer and to see whether or not there are unintended connections present. The user can realize which of the connections are intended and which are unintended by the way in which they are displayed, open or short. An open connection is intended and a short connection in unintended. The user can also find a miswired type of connection, which means that the connection has gone to the wrong place. This type of computer hardware test tool is considered to be working in two phases. The first one is named the opens phase because it deals with the verification of the intended type of connections. The second one deals with the unintended connections and is called the shorts test.



computer-hardware-test-tools2

Both the intended and the unintended connections can be tested by flowing two common steps. The first way in which a connection is being tested is called the continuity test. This step deals with verifying whether a connection is good or not, by analyzing whether there is current or not in the connection. When there is current, the conclusion is that the connection is a good one. In the other case, the connection seems to be bad. In this test the technicians use a battery and a so-called light bulb that lights when the connection is good. The second way in which a connection is usually tested is called the resistance test. Within this test it is measured the developed voltage after passing current down the connection. By analyzing the current and the voltage the technicians can conclude that a connection is either good or bad.


In what the short connections are concerned, there are also two ways of testing them: by using a low voltage test or a high voltage one. In the first stage the current is being measured by connecting a low voltage type of source between the two types of conductors. I the technicians find that there is no current they can say that the conductors are pretty well isolated. In the second maintained way, the high voltage test a high voltage source is being connected between the two conductors. In this way, the technicians are able to find the connections that are considered almost shorted.


There are many computer hardware test tools present among the offers of the market nowadays. This is because they are needed to test the performance of the computers and to establish certain diagnostics of problems occurring within our computers. The users have become more familiar with these types of test tools in the last few years. They have also become more aware of the necessity to have their computer hardware components tested.
