Abstract
A device for testing pairs of wires in a cable which includes a testing console having known means for performing tests on the wires and having a test fixture with a plurality of pins extending through a mating surface, the pins being arranged and arrayed to enter holes containing wires to by tested in a terminal fixture, the terminal fixture having holes into which wires may be inserted and held by friction, the holes opening in a terminal fixture having the holes in the same array as the array of pins in the test fixture so that when the terminal fixture and the test fixture are brought together with the same orientation the pins extending from the test fixture enter the holes in the terminal fixture and make a circuit between the testing console and the wire, and the console includes a rotating switch arrangement to bring both ends of each wire into circuit with testing equipment consecutively and one-at-a-time.
