Case 818 ยท Public preview
Crimp Construction Defects Can Create Intermittent Cable Resistance
Returned cable assemblies exhibited noisy signals and high or variable resistance localized to receptacle-side connections.

What the evidence preview establishes
Loose or missing strands and potting ingress created unstable electrical contact within under-compressed crimps. Fractured barrels and misregistered bores added mechanical instability.
Why this case matters
Intermittent cable noise requires mechanical as well as electrical isolation. Section suspect crimps at multiple planes and compare strand count, compaction, barrel geometry, and polymer intrusion.
