Abstract:

Disclosed herein is a system and method for identifying individual coaxial cables in a bundle of coaxial cables. The system includes a coaxial cable header that is configured for receiving one or more coaxial cables and establishing electrical conductive contact with only a conductive shield on a first end of each cable. The system also includes an electrical tester that is electrically connected to the coaxial cable header such that the electrical tester is configured to transmit signals through the conductive shields of each cable. The electrical tester includes a test probe that is configured to be selectively connected to a second end of each cable. The electrical tester is configured to identify whether the second end of a particular cable that is connected to the test probe corresponds with the first end of a pre-determined cable that is within the coaxial cable header.
