CableTool - Cable Length Tester with TDR for Fault Location and Measurement

Cable Length Measurement and Fault Location with TDR Technology

The CableTool cable length tester is a compact and reliable device for measuring the electrical length of all types of copper cables – including power, network, antenna, and telephone lines.

Using integrated TDR (Time Domain Reflectometer) technology, the device precisely measures:

• Total cable length 

• Distance to fault locations such as interruptions or short circuits 

This makes the CableTool an ideal solution for cable fault detection and length measurement in electrical and network installations.

 

In addition, the integrated voltmeter measures voltages up to 250 V, providing an important safety feature that is automatically activated before measurement begins.

The integrated audio signal function allows cables in walls or ducts to be clearly located using an optional cable probe, supporting efficient cable tracing in complex environments.

 

The CableTool is an indispensable tool for:

• Installers

• Service technicians 

• Electrical planners
