Conventionally, occasional breaks in communication cable lines (instantaneous and accidental incomplete contact at contacts or core connections included in communication cable lines) have been known to cause damage to the information signals transmitted through the communication cable lines. This device sends a constant frequency from one end of the line under test to the communication cable line, and receives the signal at the other end to detect sudden level changes or instantaneous interruptions. There are known devices that measure the presence or absence of level failure. However, this method simultaneously measures level fluctuations due to impulsive noise generated in the line under test due to crosstalk, etc., so the detected information (occurrence frequency, occurrence time rate, etc.) It is not possible to determine whether this is due to occasional disconnections caused by incomplete contact between contacts or core wire connections, or impulsive noise caused by crosstalk, etc. in this line, and therefore,
Sometimes it is not possible to accurately measure only the cut.

For this reason, it has not been possible to quantify the occasional disconnection problem caused by incomplete contact at communication line connection points and take countermeasures.

A signal generator that sends a constant frequency signal or a DC signal between the wires (referred to as L 1 and L 2 ) and the ground; an unbalanced voltage detector that detects the voltage between the cores of the line under test; It is equipped with an output signal control unit that detects the voltage between each core wire and ground of the measurement line and suppresses the output signal of the unbalanced voltage detector due to impulsive noise generated in the line under measurement due to crosstalk etc. Sometimes, the line under test is determined by using the sameness of the magnitude, waveform, and occurrence time of the respective core wire ground voltages appearing in L 1 and L 2 of the line under test.
If a wire-to-ground voltage higher than a certain appropriate level is detected at the same time in L 1 and L 2 , the output signal of the unbalanced voltage detector is suppressed to detect the connection part of the cable line under test, etc. This method is characterized by detecting only pure occasional breaks caused by incomplete contact of the contact point, and will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

The line to be measured is a balanced pair cable, connecting terminals 1, 2 and 3, 4 are connected to matching terminating resistors 5, 6 and 5', 6', and the transmission line is non-reflective and is connected to the ground. is in good equilibrium. The input impedances of the unbalanced voltage detector 8 and the comparison circuits 10 to 13 are sufficiently high and do not affect the matching of the line under test and the balance with respect to the ground. In this state, the signal generator 7 sends a sine wave signal or a DC signal with a constant frequency of 0 between the line under test and the ground. When the line under test is in a balanced state and no impulsive noise is generated in the line under test due to crosstalk or the like, the output signal of the unbalanced voltage detector 8 is not output. In this state, it is assumed that disconnection occurs occasionally at point P due to incomplete contact of the conductor connection. Sometimes, at the moment of a disconnection, the line under test loses its balance with respect to the ground, so that an output signal appears on the unbalanced voltage detector 8. At this time, the output signal control section 9 outputs an in-phase signal from the signal generator 7 to the lines L 1 and L 2 to be measured at an appropriate level (for example, the signal generator 7 sends out in-phase signals to the lines L 1 and L 2 under test, and detects the unbalanced voltage using a differential amplifier. In the case of the method, the common mode rejection ratio of the differential amplifier is
40dB, unbalanced voltage detector When the minimum level is 10mV, the positive and negative comparison level signals set to a level of 1V or more are connected to the comparison circuit by the positive and negative comparison level signal input terminals 14 and 15, respectively. 10~
13. This positive and negative comparison level,
Comparing circuits 10 to 13 compare the core wire ground voltage inputted from the connection terminals 1 and 2, and when the core wire ground voltage exceeds the comparison level, a signal is output from the comparison circuit. If a disconnection occurs occasionally at point P, the ground voltage at communication cable connection terminal 1 increases. If this ground-to-ground voltage exceeds a comparison level set to an appropriate value, an output signal appears from the comparison circuit 11 or 13, but since there is no change in the ground-to-ground voltage at the communication cable connection terminal 2, the comparison circuit 10 and 1
1, or the output signals from comparison circuits 12 and 13 do not appear at the same time. Therefore, the output signal of AND circuit 16 or 17 is not output. Therefore, since the output suppression signal is not output from the output suppression signal generation circuit, the output signal of the unbalanced voltage detector 8 is output as an occasional disconnection signal from the output terminal 21 via the output control circuit 20 as it is.

On the other hand, if the line under test is uninterrupted from time to time and impulsive noise of a certain level or higher occurs due to crosstalk, etc., the unbalanced voltage detector 8 will detect a signal as if the line under test had lost its balance with the ground. ,
An output signal appears. At this time, in the output signal control unit 9, the comparison circuits 10 to 13 compare the comparison level signal set to an appropriate level with the impulsive noise signal. Since the wire-to-ground voltage of this impulsive noise is generated in the line under test due to crosstalk or the like, its magnitude, waveform, and generation time are the same. Therefore, output signals from comparison circuits 10 and 11 or comparison circuits 12 and 13 are output simultaneously. Therefore, an output signal is output to the AND circuit 16 or 17, and an output signal is output from the OR circuit 18. In response to the output signal of the OR circuit 18, an output suppression signal is output from the output suppression signal generation circuit 19, and the output signal of the unbalanced voltage detector 8 is suppressed in the output control circuit 20. No disconnection signal is output.

In the above configuration, a constant frequency signal or DC signal is sent to the line under test between the line under test and the ground to detect the unbalanced voltage to the ground on the line under test. Even in the case of a working line, by detecting the core wire ground voltage and suppressing the output signal of the unbalanced voltage detector due to impulsive noise, only the occasional disconnection that occurs in the line under test can be detected as a transmission signal. It can be measured either at the sending or receiving end.
