Interconnect technology has a key role to play in test-and-measurement applications, whether you need to make a few connections on a benchtop or many connections in an automated test system.

A good cable testing program has many benefits. It can help you reduce energy losses, prevent unplanned production shutdowns, and avert catastrophic failures. We asked Ron Widup of Shermco Industries, ...

Testing cable assemblies for signal integrity usually requires connecting the cable assembly under test to a TDR (time-domain reflectometer) or to a VNA (vector-network analyzer) through some kind of ...

Interconnect cables play an important role in electronics testing. As high-speed signal communications continue to advance, cabling solutions will need to keep up with high-speed, multiport testing.

Most of the electrical power distribution infrastructure is static, and in many facilities, the mindset for electrical equipment and devices is “set it, and forget it.” However, much of the existing ...

A spectrum analyzer with a tracking generator can be a useful piece of test gear. This application note covers making a simple loss measurement on a coaxial cable with BNC connectors. Two N-type to ...

Our cable adventure is coming to a close. First we took our two $340 AudioQuest Vodka Ethernet cables to Las Vegas and subjected one of them to a live listening test; listeners were unable to tell it ...
