Reels of rejected multi-conductor and shielded cable sitting on the production floor are an expensive problem. Until now, finding opens and shorts with an analog cable fault locator took expertise and patience.

The digital FL-20A automates cable fault detection, greatly reducing the time and training required to find these problems. Opens, metallic shorts, or high voltage shorts between conductors or between conductor and shield are pinpointed quickly and with ease. The failure can then be cut out or repaired and the remaining good product salvaged, resulting in great savings to the producer.
