Verifying Twist Pair Relationships with a Continuity Tester
We discuss testing of twisted pair cables and why a twisted cable that passes continuity alone is not a fail-safe indicator that wire twists are wired correctly. We show which twist errors can be detected with a simple continuity test, and which require a twist wire measurement. Read more (html)
Cable and Harness Manufacturing: Checking the Quality of Connections
Without performing these checks, you run the risk of releasing or accepting faulty product. It is important to know and understand the parameters against which your cable or harness has been judged to have “passed”. Read more (html)

Cable and Harness Manufacturing: Testing Medical Electronic Equipment & Devices
Testing continuity & HiPot using multiconductor cable testers is an essential part of the workflow. Thorough testing prior to and after installation reduces the likelihood of device failure including catastrophic events such as fire. It is simply not sufficient to rely on “glow-wire” specifications to prevent fire. In this article we introduce a basic understanding of what ‘thorough’ continuity and HiPot testing entails.
