It does test Mono TRS - don't let folk tell you otherwise!
I'm afraid the 'review' from MisterMR (top review??) is incorrect. This tester does test 1/4" mono or TS (Tip/Sleeve) cables very well (Guitar cable if you like). So no need for MisterMR to cry out to Behringer to fix this so called problem! There is no problem!You will get an X shape with the LEDs if your TS cable is OK. This is because the ring and sleeve are effectively connected with a mono Tip/Sleeve plug, thus producing the X shape - see photo.This is a real bargain at around £15. It has handled pretty much everything I've thrown at it really well. A selection of what I have successfully tested so far:Mono or TS 1/4" jack to jack (Guitar Cable) - X shape from LEDsStereo (or Balanced) 1/4" TRS jack to jackStereo 1/8" jack to jackMono 1/8" jack to jack - great for Eurorack for example - again the X shape from the LEDs means all is well.XLR to balanced TRS1/4" jackXLR to mono TS jack (home made)XLR to XLRMidi DIN to DINPhono to phono.Every time it's just a case of reading what is connected to what with the grid of 9 LEDs.The only cables this couldn't test for me were stereo 1/8" jack to split mono 1/4" jack and stereo 1/8" jack to split phono - but I was expecting this, as there can only be one input and one output for each test.The tone generation is really useful too when prodding around in that jack bay and it's great to have the 3 different levels and two frequencies. The tones are emitted from any of the audio outputs. The 2 frequencies are selectable via the reset button.It tests for phantom power too (anything over 9v) on the XLR input.As others have stated, the belt clip supplied seems a little odd and rather flimsy - I won't be screwing that to mine. But that's a minor issue and it's nice they tried!A really useful alternative to sometimes awkward prodding around with a continuity tester when testing cables, and the ability to reset the test results and waggle cables to test for intermittent faults is great.Thoroughly recommended!

Unable to test 1/4” TS (unbalanced) jack cables.
I think Behringer really missed a trick here. This cable tester is unable to test 1/4” mono tip and sleeve jack cables. Just your average everyday instrument cable. Probably the most commonly used cable for gigging musicians. The jack sockets on the CT200 are tip, ring and sleeve... so plugging a mono TS jack cable into these TRS sockets will always come up as a ‘faulty cable’. Why didn’t they just make these 1/4” TS sockets and use XLR Combi sockets to cover both XLR and TRS 1/4”? As a work-around, you could use 1/4” to RCA adaptors and test using the phono sockets on it but this is potentially adding intermittent connectivity. This is a real shame about The CT200 because literally everything else about it is excellent. Well made, easy to use, can test USB Type A to B and Ethernet RJ45 cables and is good value. But if you forego USB and Ethernet and want arguably more useful (for the gigging musician) TS jack testing, you might be better going for something like the Mackie MTEST-1.Message to Behringer... please update this to allow the testing of 1/4” TS cables for it to be completely useful.

If you have even one use for it then buy it - it's a bargain!
When I was at the BBC we had a device called "Tony". It generated a reasonably pure 440Hz sine wave. Took a PP9 battery which needed replacement every few days. This is the modern version of that tester but it's also so much more. The test tone can be switched between 440 and 1k Hz at 3 different levels (+4, -10, -50 dB), it is NOT a pure sine wave but does the job well enough. There is an excellent cable tester which even toggles different LEDs if there is an intermittent connection - ideal for finding intermittent screens. Battery operated (2 x AA) so no hum problems but it would have been nice to have a setting for rechargables and a suitable socket to power them but I am being picky. There are connections for 3.5mm, phono, 1/4inch, XLR, TT and MIDI. Each can be connected to any other with indicator LEDs to show what is wired to what else. Ideal for sound engineers, home recordists etc. In short if you know you will use this for even one job then buy it for the things you haven't thought of! Has 16 led indicators plus two three way switches so comprehensive. What is missing? Well an F connector and Belling Lee might have been helpful for me to check cctv but I made up a couple of adaptor leads. For less than £20 it's an absolute bargain, I wish I had seen it years ago!
