Dedicated to High-Quality, Accuracy, and Efficiency in Testing

As a leading expert in cable-connector certification, Allion has invested millions of dollars in test equipment, facilities, and environment.

Allion has developed Allion Cable-Connector Multiport System (ACMS) for USB 3.2®, USB4®, HDMI 2.1 testing. ACMS is able to work with a network analyzer and Get_iPar(Intel) to automate high frequency tests.

Many A/V transmission interfaces face issues such as connection failure between products and attenuation due to adapters/extension cables. To combat this, Allion developed a total solution designed for the manufacturing industry: the Automated Digital Inspection Tester. It is capable running complete tests for all I/O interfaces—such as USB Type-C, HDMI, DisplayPort, and VGA. The tester can be used to verify the quality of cables, dongles, docking, adapters, VGA graphics cards, and various other A/V transmission products and interfaces.

Fixture Quality Trusted by Tech Leaders

Allion has exclusively developed a wide spectrum of test fixtures, many of which are approved by the USB, HDMI Forum, VESA, and other leading international associations. We have conducted 100+ projects of high-frequency and automated fixture design based on different standards and specifications. At Allion, you can find the customizable fixture that makes your product validation more efficient and cost-effective.
