TDR Cable Fault Locators

TDR Cable Fault Locators, also known as Time Domain Reflectometers, are essential diagnostic tools for identifying faults in electrical cables. These devices work by sending a pulse along a cable and measuring the time it takes for any reflection to return, which helps locate faults such as breaks, shorts, or impedance mismatches. This technology is invaluable in maintaining the integrity and performance of complex electrical systems, ensuring timely repairs and reducing downtime.
