{"product_id":"digitrax-2-pack-lt5c-tester-module","title":"Digitrax LT5C | 2-Pack LocoNet Cable Tester Module - Diagnose RJ12 Cables \u0026 LocoNet Bus Issues | Multi Scale","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"sectionContent\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Digitrax LT5C is a handy LocoNet diagnostic tool — it plugs into any LocoNet jack and uses an LED indicator to verify that the cable, the jack, and the LocoNet bus power are all wired correctly. The LED lights up only when ALL six pins of the RJ12 jack get correct signal — making it the fastest way to find a bad cable, a miswired UP5\/UP6 panel, or a broken LocoNet run before you spend hours debugging your throttles. This 2-pack gives you one to leave at the start of your bus and one to walk around with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eLooking for more DCC tools and accessories?

To narrow down which pin is bad you'd plug it into successive jacks along the bus to find where the fault starts. For pin-by-pin testing, Digitrax also makes the LT1 (more detailed but discontinued in some regions).\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need two?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo-pack lets you leave one at the command station to confirm the bus is alive, then walk the layout with the other to verify each UP panel and run as you set up or debug.
