Cable fault location TDR (T906)

CABLE FAULT LOCATION

Cable fault location TDR (T906)

Time-domain reflectometry for cable fault pre-location

OVERVIEW

About the Cable fault location TDR (T906)

The T906 TDR unit is used to pre-locate cable faults by measuring reflected signals and calculating the approximate distance to the failure point. It is a useful part of a cable fault location workflow, especially when combined with higher-energy surge and pinpointing methods.

In field operations, TDR provides a fast indication of where a cable is damaged, allowing crews to narrow the excavation or inspection area and improve fault restoration efficiency.
