One of the most common problems in the studio affecting workflow is a failed cable. Yet because of the uncomplicated nature of an interconnect–no moving parts and simple construction–it often gets overlooked in day to day studio operations. That’s where having a cable tester handy can save the day, quickly pinpointing a problem so it can be fixed in short order. As part of on-campus extra curricular activities, students construct their own testers, polarity flippers and other handy studio tools to add to their bag of tricks.
