Performance and Saving
Combining blazing fast performance with a low cost per test and a rugged design, the Advanced Cable Tester v2 enables rapid spot-checking of cables, easy-to-understand reports, with 100% test coverage for lab and production environments at a fraction of the price, time, and labor versus other solutions. Whether your application is 100% quality control in a factory or statistical process control in a laboratory, the Advanced Cable Tester v2 will provide high precision and accuracy with thorough test coverage, without expensive scopes, custom fixtures, or highly trained personnel, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars.
It provides:
- Short testing - Dynamic visualization of test results
- Open testing - Dynamic visualization of test results
- Continuity testing - Dynamic visualization of test results
- DC resistance measurement for most wires, with milliohm precision on ground and power wires, ohm resolution on most other wires, continuity check only on high-speed data lines
- Signal integrity testing of data lines to 12.8 Gbps per channel
- E-Marker verification
- Lightning plug bring up/function (Apple MFi Lightning Cables)*
- Over-voltage protection (Apple MFi Lightning Cables)*
- Voltage recovery testing (Apple MFi Lightning Cables)*
- Quiescent current consumption (Apple MFi Lightning Cables)*
* Apple MFi membership required to run these tests
Technical Description
Continuity testing checks all pins for opens, shorts, and fundamentally correct wiring preventing dangerous situations like shorts of VBUS to data signals, VBUS/GND reversal, etc.
DC Resistance ("DCR") testing confirms that each power pin (VBUS and GND) is capable of carrying the required current to meet the applicable specification. For Type-C cables, each power pin is individually measured, then the cable as a whole is tested. Pass/fail criteria ensure that the cable will meet the specification requirements, such as Type-C IR Drop. If present, Type-C SBU and CC lines are also tested for DCR.
E-Marker testing reads the data from any present E-Marker, then validates the advertised data and power capabilities against the actual measured parameters of the cable. Additionally, fields such as Vendor ID, Product ID, Test ID, firmware and hardware versions can be set by the operator, for easy pass/fail determination of cables through a QA process.
Lightning testing ensures proper operation of the Lightning plug, including proper Lighting plug power-up, over-voltage, recovery, and quiescent current testing per the Apple MFi specification.
A REST API is available for integration of the Advanced Cable Tester v2 into a larger test infrastructure. This integration can be very high-level: taking just a real-time pass/fail indication; or much more integrated: retrieving all details for custom processing, analysis, logging, etc.
