Can the connectors withstand frequent re-plugging on the test bench?

Mating cycle tests for durable connections are part of our mechanical testing. For network connections, there are screened Cat.6A field-installable connectors for more than 750 mating cycles. We select connectors to industry standard, as complementary types or as individual custom designs. Before series production, validation samples are built for testing in your specific application environment.

How are cables marked on the test bench?

To clearly identify every cable, we use labelling technology: printing, labels and laser engraving. The bulk cable itself can also carry clear and durable marking for easy identification. Marking follows your specifications, from small batches to large series – as a single cable, cable set or cable harness.

Test, Measurement & Sensor Technology

Precise data transmission in measurement, testing and sensor technology

Measurement and sensor cables that transmit signals without distortion, even after many mating cycles.

TTL Network develops measurement, control and power cable sets for test benches, test systems and sensor technology – from small batches to large series.

Galvanic isolators protect sensitive devices from potential differences – without impairing data transmission.
