Ultra-Tech Enterprises Inc.

The MU Cable Tester is a microprocessor based, stand-alone tester that performs conductor resistance tests and short circuit tests for the standard 27 pin MU cable. This tester is intended for use in a shop or other wayside locations. The tester is housed in a rugged, water resistant and portable carrying case for added protection and durability, it also has the ability to be rolled on its wheels for added ease when transporting. Each unit will include wall mounting hardware for permanent/temporary installation in shops. Within the enclosure there is two MU style receptacles for mating to each end of the standard MU cable.The microprocessor will control all functions of the tester which include switching the test signals and signal measurement circuits between conductors and storing the test configuration files and test history. The design of this tester also allows for future updates as new functionality becomes required. The tester will give the details of any fault within the cable and/or within itself. Performing tests on multiple cables can be done with ease as it just takes the press of one button. This is an all in one tester for checking the performance and identifying faults of the Standard MU Cable.
