FaultCaster is a palm-top Digital Time Domain Reflectometer, Fault Locator, and Cable Length Meter designed to detect and locate faults on all types of copper cable up to a distance of 2000m (6,000ft). Fast-Edge Step TDR technology enables the FaultCaster to identify opens and short circuits, and directly indicate the fault distance on an alpha-numeric LCD, with better range and resolution than existing products. An internal library of standard cable types enables accurate measurements on cables without the necessity of entering Velocity Factor information.
