Patent ID: 11630163

Abstract:
A multi-core cable testing device is configured to specify a correspondence between ends of an insulated wire at both ends of a multi-core cable including insulated wires. The device includes a signal input unit for inputting a test signal by capacitive coupling into one end of the insulated wire as a testing object at one end of the multi-core cable, a signal output unit for outputting the test signal by capacitive coupling from each end of the insulated wires at the other end of the multicore cable, a correspondence specifying unit for measuring a voltage of the test signal from the signal output unit and for specifying an other side end of the insulated wire based on a measured voltage. At least one of the signal input unit and the signal output unit includes a signal transmission cable for transmitting the test signal and a substrate configured to be connected to the signal transmission cable. The substrate includes a first electrode to be connected to a signal conductor of the signal transmission cable on one main surface of the substrate, and a second electrode to be capacitively coupled to an end of the insulated wire on the other main surface. A transmission path for transmitting the test signal between the first electrode and the second electrode is provided within the substrate, and a shielding layer is provided at the substrate.
