High-Frequency Testing Locked in the Lab
- The Challenge: Most handheld TDR and cable testers top out at a restrictive 3 GHz to 6 GHz. This makes the field verification of 5G mmWave feeds, 10GBASE-T1 automotive Ethernet, and advanced ADAS interconnects entirely impossible outside of a laboratory environment.
- The Solution: The 26G Handheld Adapter brings laboratory-grade 26.5 GHz capabilities directly to the point of installation, allowing for immediate in-line testing and real-time fault location.
Two Instruments Where One Should Do
- The Challenge: Engineers and technicians running both S-parameter sweeps and TDR fault-location have historically been forced to transport, set up, and switch between separate dedicated instruments.
- The Solution: The integrated dual-mode architecture eliminates equipment redundancy. By condensing both workflows into a single unit, operations cut down on kit weight, procurement costs, and valuable deployment time on the manufacturing floor.
Slow, Manual Fault Diagnosis in Cable Harnesses
- The Challenge: Interpreting raw, complex TDR waveforms requires a high level of specialized engineering expertise, which slows down the testing loop and increases errors.
- The Solution: The platform features a visual TDR event map, a streamlined “reference-against-known-good-cable” workflow, and pre-loadable per-job harness profiles. This significantly reduces the technical skill threshold required for technicians to isolate faults in complex automotive wire harnesses.
Manufacturing Throughput and Data Traceability
- The Challenge: End-of-line cable testing conducted without automated validation relies heavily on subjective operator judgment, resulting in inconsistent quality control and fragmented data records.
- The Solution: Fully configurable test limits and instantaneous PASS/FAIL indicators provide objective, repeatable metrics. Seamless integration with TestData Pro software guarantees automated, fully auditable results recorded at true manufacturing line rates.
Remote Site Monitoring Without Dedicated Infrastructure
- e Challenge: Monitoring sprawling or multi-site cable plants typically requires dispatching specialized field engineers to each physical location just to run diagnostic sweeps.
- The Solution: Built with an IP-addressable Ethernet interface, the tester can be polled, queried, and completely controlled from a centralized command center, enabling scalable, multi-site remote infrastructure monitoring.
