Hi, This is off-topic, but the hardware hackerese on this list is tremendous so maybe someone knows whether such a device exists. I'm working on a project that cables several boxes together, which signal each other using "dry contacts"; i.e. by closing or opening a pair of wires. The interconnect cables all use D-sub connectors (DB9, DB15, and DB25). The signal wires are always adjacent pairs; i.e. pins 1&2, 3&4, 5&6, etc. For testing, I need to inject some hardware faults of the kind where such a pair of wires fails closed or fails open. I am looking for a little device that has, say, a DB15 male on one end and a DB15 female on the other normally connected straight through. I imagine also a set of switches (or jumpers) that will allow me to inject faults of two kinds: break the connection of any wire (fail open) or short any two adjacent wires (fail closed). I'm thinking of something like [1] but with switches; and I need one for DB9 and DB15, too. Thanks for reading this far, -Steve [1] http://www.national-tech.com/specs/db25-tester/31d3-44200.htm
