The cable fault tester under UHV power can help many power workers conduct various power tests more conveniently.

In our era, when many enterprises adopt structured network cabling, cable failures may raise concerns. With the development of cables and their functions, more and more components and names increase the likelihood of cable failures.

When discussing cable faults, many issues may arise. What are the potential causes or cable faults, and can they be eliminated or even completely avoided? What are the possible consequences of cable failure? Can they be repaired?

Network cables are made of stranded copper wires (the most common), which conduct electrical and data based currents and transmit signals from one end to the other. The twisted wire is shielded by a plastic sheath.

Faulty cables may not always be easy to diagnose. Bent or folded cables do not always affect signals or cause interference or noise. Cable design is used for signal penetration through complex structural designs, surrounding corners and crossing obstacles. However, when the cable is bent or folded in half, the signal quality will be affected. This may happen immediately or over time

A torn outer garment is another type of cable damage that may affect cable performance. Although the sheath is an external coating used to protect twisted wires, it plays an important role in protecting the wires and core of the cable from damage. The coat not only fixes the internal components of the cable together, but also protects them from various external environmental factors. Tearing in the jacket may expose the wire to changing temperatures and other changing elements, such as moisture, dust, and even animals. Undoubtedly, these uncontrollable external components will have an impact on the performance of the cable.

When a network cable fault is detected, the first step is to determine the location and cause. Undoubtedly, the next step is to analyze the damage and determine appropriate solutions.
