Every Connection Matters

The CheckMate Cable Tester is a professional modular cable tester designed to quickly identify wiring faults, connection problems and insulation issues in professional cinema, broadcast and rental environments.

A faulty cable can bring an otherwise perfectly prepared setup to a standstill. Traditional continuity testers often tell you whether a connection exists – but not necessarily why something is wrong. 

The CheckMate Cable Tester provides a detailed view of the cable’s wiring and electrical characteristics, allowing technicians to identify faults quickly and confidently. From broken connections and incorrect wiring to short circuits, high resistance and insulation problems, CheckMate helps you find the fault before the cable reaches set.

Test a Cable in Seconds

Three simple steps from connection to diagnosis.

01 - Connect

Insert both ends of the cable into the appropriate connector modules.

02 - Select

Select the connector pair using the touchscreen interface.

03 - Test

The Cable Tester analyzes the connection and displays the complete wiring graphically.

Built Around Real Workflows

The CheckMate Cable Tester combines advanced electrical measurements with a simple touchscreen interface and a modular connector system. Choose the connectors you need, connect your cable and let CheckMate do the testing. The tester automatically recognizes installed connector modules and guides you through the testing process, while the high-brightness IPS display provides a clear graphical representation of every connection.

Modular by Design

Choose only the connector modules you need today and expand your system whenever your workflow changes.

Fast Fault Detection

Identify wiring mistakes, broken conductors and intermittent faults in seconds.

Detailed Diagnostics

Measure connection resistance and insulation resistance - not just continuity.

Future Ready

Firmware updates continuously add new connector types, wiring schemes and improvements.

Starter Kits

Every production environment is different.
Instead of purchasing a fixed cable tester with predefined connectors, CheckMate allows you to configure the system according to your own equipment inventory.
Every frame comes with four connector modules of your choice, a USB-C power cable and a quick start guide.
Additional connector modules are available separately and can be added at any time.
There are two available frame sizes.
