CableIQ finds common cable faults and data rate. Cables often fail in harsh industrial environments where cables are exposed to vibration, extreme flexing, moisture, expansion and contraction from temperature change. Failures result in costly production downtime so it’s important to quickly identify where the cable is broken so it can be replaced or repaired. CableIQ checks continuity on all wires displays results graphically so you can see opens, shorts, and cross wires and reports the distance to an open connection within the cable. It also checks if the cable can support data rates.
