Test Automation: Testing Cables

May 11, 2020

Cable Testing up to 10K

When developing and manufacturing receiver and transmitter devices, it is crucial to use proper test tools to ensure that they are designed according to standards and manufactured flawlessly. However, if the cable connecting the devices is not properly tested, there is no guarantee that the transmitter and receiver devices will work seamlessly together.

The presentation below gives a detailed introduction on how to perform automated tests on DisplayPort cables. All tests that you can automate are also available in the UCD Console GUI which is a common PC user interface for all UCD series products. Similar test sequences are also available for testing HDMI and USB-C cables.
