Measure capacitance, inductance and resistance

Anyway simple way to measure the above parameters on interconnects and speaker cables?

Thanks

These two Fluke models will probably do a nice job, but they cost many thousands of $. Regards, -- Al

Try MCM electronics or parts express. I think they both sell these meters. As for me I have a digital multimeter and a dedicated capacitance meter. I do not have an inductance meter but I have seen them for sale in electronics catalogs. Hope this helps. Shay

Inductance will also be very low and will ask for a special technique or meter to measure it. Capacitance can be easily measured with pF resolution.
