Re: Testing DCC LocoNet Cables
|
I had a self-terminated cable that would test fine, but when placed in a Free-mo module, would take down the Loconet.? On close examination, one end had been overstripped, and the wires slightly damaged by the cutter.? If the cable was straight, it tested clean.? Bend the connector to loop it into the UP5, it would short two of the leads (don't remember the pair now).
Try that with a tester.? Connect it, watch the test device's result pattern as you flex the cable near each connector.? If it flickers or shorts, you have your culprit.
It's the little things that can drive you mad.
