Testing is automated through computer-controlled systems to maximize accuracy and repeatability. We have many environmental chambers including large walk-in chambers and several vibration exciters.
Following are some common types of cable testing we perform:
- Transmission line impedance
- Capacitance
- Dielectric constant variation
- Propagation delay
- Propagation delay skew
- Attenuation
- Near-end crosstalk (NEXT)
- Far-end crosstalk (FEXT)
- Cable insertion loss
- Return loss
- Tensile strength
- Cold bend
- Salt fog
- Mix flowing gas
- Temperature and humidity
- EMC shielding effectiveness testing
- Dielectric withstand voltage
- Insulation resistance
- Contact resistance
Standards we test to include:
- UL710
- ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B
- ASTM D 4566-98
- ANSI NCITS 336
- ISO/IEC 11801
- MIL-W-22759 series
Types of Cables:
- Coaxial
- Electronic
- Fiber Optic
- Voice & Data
- Computer
- Telephone
- Battery
- Marine
- Buried
- Aerial
- Stranded
