automatic cable tester Autes500

The AUTES-500 cable tester combines versatility, ease of use, and great
performance with a astonishing low price.
The brick upon which Autes-500 is build are two I/O-board which are available as
full-size ISA-bus expansion boards to be fitted inside of a PC or as single height
eurocard boards for rack mounting. This allows the building of low-cost system
using PC’s fitted with 5 boards for 320 test-points. If a greater amount of test-
points is required, the use of our extension units, with each up to 1280 test-points
allows building of systems with max 12800 test-points.
