Test Cable Assemblies

Test Cable Assemblies

A wrong connector or wire usually shows up only in environmental testing or in the field. We select industrial or military-grade connectors and wire for the operating environment, define the pin-out and integration specification, then build the test cable. Country of origin: Taiwan.

Types

TypeTypical use
Signal test cableEquipment functional tests; signal links between sensors and controllers
Power test cablePowering the unit under test; current and voltage-drop measurement
RF coaxial test cableMeasurement connections for RF and microwave components and antennas
Adapter cableConverting between different connector interfaces

Conditions to confirm first

  • Temperature range: ratings of the jacket and connector materials
  • Vibration and shock: connector locking and cable strain relief
  • Salt fog and water: connector sealing and plating
  • Electromagnetic interference: shield type and grounding
  • Mating cycles: durability under repeated connection on test fixtures

Connector selection and integration specifications are also offered as a service under precision mechanics and test cables; for RF components, see passive microwave components.

What to include in a quote request

  • Connector models or interfaces at both ends
  • Length and allowed tolerance
  • Wire: conductor count, gauge, shielding and temperature rating
  • Pin-out or wiring diagram
  • Operating environment, and whether shipping test records (for example continuity and insulation) are needed
  • Quantity and required delivery date
