Prosol TCA

proSolTCAComplementing the TCT100, TCT200 cable testers and the recently released Cable Commander software, the TCA-1 cable analyser is for the cable manufacturer and the repair lab of the contractor who understands the need for tight QC of this costly consumable.

For the manufacturer:
  • quick test of connectivity and leakage on all conductors.
  • automated high frequency testing.
  • a low cost unit for final QC on the production line.
For the contractor:
  • efficient repair lab tool – includes break detection system.
  • logging of cable inventory data
  • statistical analysis to predict cable life - avoid premature replacement without the risk of production downtime.
Technical Specification:
  • Requires connection via parallel port to standard IBM compatible PC running Windows95/98.
  • Standard configuration: 8 pairs (all independently addressable as data or geophone pairs).
  • Extendible with plug-in modules to 16 pairs.
  • Geophone loading plugs controlled remotely from the tester.
  • Cable Impedance range: 100 Ohms to 180 Ohms
  • Leakage full scale 30 MOhms
  • Continuity resolution 0.1 Ohm
  • Geophone crosstalk 100dB
  • Geophone wiring polarity Good/Bad
  • Capacitance: (conductor to conductor and conductor to bundle) 300pF to 10uF
  • Data pair insertion loss (attenuation) 42 dB max.
  • accuracy:+/-0.5dB
  • Data pair crosstalk 58dB
  • Data pair return loss 25dB (All data pair tests at user selectable frequencies from 5.1MHz to 11.8 MHz)
Windows 95/98* software allows logging of results and exporting to Microsoft Excel* for statistical analysis.
