GR-1089 CORE Compliant Articulated Test Probe

The GR-1089 CORE Compliant Articulated Test Probe is a specialized safety assessment instrument engineered for telecommunications and data center equipment validation—including network cabinets, base stations, fiber optic transmitters, and server racks. Its 3-joint articulated configuration simulates natural human finger articulation, enabling navigation through complex internal pathways (e.g., around wiring harnesses or control modules) that rigid probes cannot access. Fabricated from conductive stainless steel (for live part detection) and integrated with a heat-resistant insulated handle, it applies a calibrated 10N thrust force to evaluate hazardous component accessibility (e.g., exposed circuits, high-voltage terminals). Fully compliant with GR-1089’s NEBS (Network Equipment-Building System) specifications, this instrument is essential for manufacturers to verify telecom equipment safety and satisfy global network infrastructure regulatory requirements.

Specifications:
Tool Type: GR-1089 CORE Compliant Articulated Test Probe (for telecommunications equipment hazardous part accessibility testing)
Probe Material: Heat Treated steel
Joint Characteristics: 3 pivot joints; maximum bending angle per joint: 90°; maintains structural integrity under 10N thrust force
Key Dimensions:
– Test Probe Diameter: 12 mm
– Test Probe Length: 90 mm
– Articulated Length: 30 mm
Applied Thrust: 10N ± 0.5N (standard for NEBS testing protocols; simulates accidental finger contact with telecommunications equipment)
Core Function: Navigates complex telecommunications equipment internals via articulated joints; detects accessible hazardous live parts; verifies GR-1089 CORE compliance

Test Procedures:
1. Inspect the articulated test probe for damage (loose joints, bent probe segments, cracked insulation) and verify conductivity using appropriate test instrumentation.
2. Power on the telecommunications equipment (e.g., network cabinet) and configure it to normal operational mode.
