What degradation mechanisms or ageing mechanisms affect cables and their accessories? What is the rate of progression of these degradation processes? Do they all result in failure? What methods are available for diagnosing degradation mechanisms? Are these analyses and testing techniques only available in a laboratory or also in the field? And how effective are they? And what is the relationship of all this to safeguarding quality and reliability? Plenty of questions, but not every supplier of analysis and testing
