Time domain reflectometers (TDR) & cable length meters
Time domain reflectometers for coaxial cables as well as multi-core and symmetrical cables from PANCONTROL, Radiodetection, SPRINGBOK and TEMPO Communications. TDRs and cable length meters support fault location and length measurement in copper and fibre optic cables as well as in district heating lines.
• TDR reflectometers for symmetrical copper cables and coaxial cable systems
• Cable length meters for copper and aluminium cables
• TDRs and OTDRs for FTTx and fibre optic links
• Combined instruments with TDR, bridge measurement, multimeter function and pair tester
• Instruments for cable fault location and leak detection in district heating and cold-water pipe networks

Typical applications
• Cable fault location in telephone, data, coaxial and power supply cables• Length measurement and distance-to-fault determination in copper and aluminium cables
• Testing and diagnostics in CATV and broadband networks
• District heating and cold-water networks with leak detection wires
• FTTx and fibre optic networks with optical time domain reflectometers (OTDR)
• Telecommunication and network technology with combined bridge, TDR and multimeter functions
Application sectors
• Telecoms and data networks• Cable TV and broadband operators
• Utilities and municipal network operators
• Operators of district heating and pipe networks
• Installation and service companies for building cabling
Selection criteria
• Cable type: symmetrical copper cables, coaxial cables, district heating lines, fibre optic cables or mixed networks• Task: cable fault location, length measurement, leak detection or combined network diagnostics
• Measurement range: from short in-building runs up to 15,000 m cable length (depending on model)
• Instrument class: dedicated TDR, cable length meter, OTDR or multifunction tester with bridge (RFL) and multimeter
• Storage & documentation: internal memory, data export via USB/Bluetooth and PC software for reporting
With the right combination of instruments you get a practical solution for fault location, documentation and long-term diagnostics in copper, coax and fibre optic networks.
