Intermittent defects create a lot of frustration especially if these defects escape the production process. Here is what you need to eliminate intermittent defects:

A cable tester that:

Can catch short duration intermittent faults

Has a "continuous test" that quickly scans the cable

Has reliable fixturing

A process that:

Recoginizes intermittents as bad

Installs the cable and then flexes/wiggles it

Rejects cables with intermittent errors
