Meeting measurement demands Beta LaserMike continues to meet the measurement demands of cable makers by announcing the latest solution in high-speed, low-frequency cable testing. The new DCM Model 3S-LF2000 measurement system effectively tests the low-frequency (LCRG) primary transmission parameters of twisted-pair communication cables. The DCM 3S-LF2000 by Beta LaserMike is suitable for testing data cables, control cables, instrumentation cables, and telecommunication cables. It is capable of testing very long cable lengths up to 30km (18.6 miles). Because of its compact and flexible design, the DCM 3S-LF2000 can be used anywhere on the factory floor. The system can be used alone or in conjunction with high-frequency transmission parameter measurement systems, such as Beta LaserMike’s DCM ES-2G (2 GHz) and SCS-350B (600 MHz) LAN/data cable testing systems. The DCM 3S-LF2000 consists of an LCR measurement apparatus and operating software combined with an automatic, solid-state switching (3S) system that provides fast, accurate and reliable test results. Up to four pairs can be automatically scanned and measured with the results normalised for length and temperature, and compared against pre-programmed test limits. The operating software is uniquely designed for cable testing, allowing the entry of cable length, conductor diameter, specification limits, and other administrative information. The automatic, four-pair, solid-state switching system includes insulation displacement clips that eliminate the need for removing the conductor insulation. The 3S-LF2000 also includes 5m extension cables for connection to short inner ends. Beta LaserMike – USA Website : www.betalasermike.com
