Cable/Harness Testing Made Easy. In a previous e-newsletter we pursued the question "can you detect broken strands?" Using a standard resistive continuity test we got the answer (Can I Test For Broken Strands?). If we want to detect poor continuity, why not turn up the current to find flaws in cables and harnesses? How much current does it take to burn out a few remaining strands of a wire when most have been broken? This month we search for more answers. We also introduce our CH2 adapter panel system. This is a test adapter that quickly and easily plugs into the front of our easy-wire CH2 testers to transition to mating connectors of your choice. Six years ago, we began our Cirris Connect newsletter, having never missed a month for 72 issues. With the beginning of our 7th year, I thank our dedicated team that puts them together month after month. Most of all I thank you, our friends and customers who open and read them, follow the links to our articles and web pages, and offer suggestions on topics you'd like to see us cover. Your interest helps keep our commitment high. We appreciate the many kind e-mails thanking us and encouraging us to continue. If you have any questions or comments, call us at 1-800-441-9910. Best Regards, |

| Will high current catch broken wire strands? | |
If weak connections have high resistance let's turn up the heat by turning up the current when testing. We experimented with wires having broken strands and hit them with higher currents to see what happens. We also added another of our online calculators to predict when wires burn out in support of our model. To learn more about the effects of turning up the current see: Will high current catch broken wire strands?Model of a Wire Fusing in Free Air |

| Easily adapt to your connectors, 800 Points at a time, using our new CH2 Adapter Panel System | |
We've made it much easier to quickly adapt our CH2 to your existing adapter cables. You may have standardized on a connector for your adapting cables that does not match those of the CH2. We now have adapter panels that snap onto the CH2, making up to 800 connections at once to transition to your connector of choice. Get an interface that mates to those DIT-MCO twin 50's, Military Circulars, D-subs, Mack, Virginia Panel, or Cannon DL-series ZIF connectors.
