Ensure Reliable Cable Performance in High-Temperature AUT Inspections

In high-temperature automated ultrasonic testing (AUT), cable performance is a critical—but often overlooked—factor in inspection reliability.

Many cables sold for high-temperature use are not fully compatible with the fluid couplants commonly used in AUT applications. Exposure to silicone-based fluids can lead to material degradation, compromised signal integrity due to connector dielectric and latching failure, resulting in premature cable failure—introducing unnecessary risk, unplanned downtime, and increased cost into your inspection process.

Echo Mighty Mite™ cables are specifically engineered to address these challenges. Designed for demanding AUT environments, they maintain structural integrity and consistent performance even under prolonged exposure to high temperatures and silicone-based couplants. This gives inspectors greater confidence that their equipment will perform when it matters most.

Here’s what one happy customer said after switching to Mighty Mite cables by Echo.  Just wanted to let yourself and the team know that the TOFD cables you sent to try out worked perfectly, no issues with melting, dissolving or fraying. Thank you for your support and the great product!”

See the Difference After AUT Use

The images below show the difference between a standard competitor cable and Echo’s Mighty Mite cable after exposure to demanding AUT conditions. While the competitor cable shows jacket failure, connector damage, and loss of conductivity, the Mighty Mite cable remains intact and inspection-ready.
