Testing &measuring for wire, cable & fibre optics

A thick electrical wire can be expected to transmit more current than a thin one. But not many decisions on comparative capability are that straightforward, even when the composition, diameter, length and condition of the wire are reliably known. Or when there is full visibility into fibre optic components, integrated optical devices and optical networks. Hence the necessity for the products and services for testing and measurement reviewed here. If the expression ‘Better safe than sorry’ was not coined in the wire and cable industry, wiremakers of long experience have made it their own.
