Collaborative Functions, Essential Project Management, and Security
Selecting connectors and cables for a test setup can be a complex process resulting in a significant investment in time and money. Cable design is probably the last challenge considered when developing a test system. Yet, it needs care and expertise because proper cabling is critical for the time-to-market of the products being tested.
Our updated cable design tool features a similar look and feel to the original but has many new features based on user feedback. One of these features is the Project Manager; its primary purpose is to organize designs in a project folder structure. These folders can be shared with other users, providing access to project communications, attachments, history, and other functions. The Project Manager also controls access to shared designs and manages the custom design library, which is the user’s design library.
Messages to other users and our engineers can now be sent and received within the tool. This improves workflow and helps with the approval process, providing traceability of changes and keeping all communications on the design in one place. The design submission process is greatly simplified, and, as well as being more collaborative, but also more secure; unauthorized users can only view and not edit the design, thus minimizing errors. Designs can also be locked.
The completed design can be submitted to our connection division or any cable supplier for manufacture. In addition, the connection division offers a range of standard high-quality cables to support many applications. And, our standard three-year warranty covers all your interconnection products.
