Features
- Short testing - Dynamic visualization of test results
- Open testing - Dynamic visualization of test results
- Continuity testing - Dynamic visualization of test results
- DC resistance measurement for most wires, with milliohm precision on ground and power wires, ohm resolution on most other wires, continuity check only on high-speed data lines
- Signal integrity testing of data lines to 12.8 Gbps per channel
- E-Marker verification
- Lightning plug bring up/function (Apple Lightning Cables)*
- Over-voltage protection (Apple Lightning Cables)*
- Voltage recovery testing (Apple Lightning Cables)*
- Quiescent current consumption (Apple Lightning Cables)*
* Apple MFi membership required to run these tests
Continuity testing checks all pins for opens, shorts, and fundamentally correct wiring preventing dangerous situations like shorts of VBUS to data signals, VBUS/GND reversal, etc.
DCR Testing
DC Resistance ("DCR") testing confirms that each power pin (VBUS and GND) is capable of carrying the required current to meet the applicable specification. For Type-C cables, each power pin is individually measured, then the cable as a whole is tested. Pass/fail criteria ensure that the cable will meet the specification requirements, such as Type-C IR Drop. If present, Type-C SBU and CC lines are also tested for DCR.
E-Marker Testing
E-Marker testing reads the data from any present E-Marker, then validates the advertised data and power capabilities against the actual measured parameters of the cable. Additionally, fields such as Vendor ID, Product ID, Test ID, firmware and hardware versions can be set by the operator, for easy pass/fail determination of cables through a QA process.
Compatibility
Lightning testing ensures proper operation of the Lightning plug, including proper Lighting plug power-up, over-voltage, recovery, and quiescent current testing per the Apple MFi specification.
A REST API is available for integration of the Advanced Cable Tester v2 into a larger test infrastructure. This integration can be very high-level: taking just a real-time pass/fail indication; or much more integrated: retrieving all details for custom processing, analysis, logging, etc.
The Advanced Cable Tester supports testing a large variety of cables via a system of easily interchangeable modules. Each module is rated for 55,000 tests, guaranteeing cost-effective and accurate cable test results.

Why Do my Cables Need Testing?
Many USB, video, and Apple Lightning cables simpy do not function correctly. Let's delve deeper into each of these problems.
- Connection Issues:
- Missed or incorrectly wired joints: When manufacturing cables, there might be errors where certain wire connections are missed or improperly connected. This will naturally prevent the cable from functioning correctly. For instance, if a data line in a USB cable is missed, data transfer may be impossible.
- Damaged joints: Over time, or due to rough handling, the wired joints within a cable or connector can become damaged. This damage can interrupt the proper flow of electrical signals, leading to connection failures.
- Poorly soldered joints: In cables where soldering is required, a poorly soldered joint can be a weak point. It may break easily or may not maintain a consistent connection. Sometimes, excess solder or lack of proper solder can lead to a short circuit or interrupted connections.
- Issues Affecting Rate Speed:
- Poor quality connectors: A connector's quality is crucial. Cheap or poorly-made connectors might not maintain a solid connection. They could be misshaped, made of inferior materials, or lack necessary shielding. This can cause interference, signal degradation, or dropouts, affecting data transfer rates.
- Poor quality cable: The quality of the cable material itself is also vital. High-quality cables typically have multiple layers, including shielding to protect against interference. If a cable lacks these protective features, or if the conductive material within is of low quality, it can result in slower transfer speeds and potential data loss.
- Damage: Physical damage, like bending, twisting, or crushing the cable, can impact its internal structure. This might result in broken internal wires or compromised shielding. Such damage can significantly reduce the speed at which the cable can operate, or even prevent it from working altogether.
In addition to these factors, it's worth noting that counterfeit or non-certified cables, especially prevalent in the market for popular brands, often do not meet the specifications and quality standards set by the original manufacturers. Using these cables can result in subpar performance and potential risks to the devices they connect to.
