The Biddle CFL800E is a
multifunction instrument combining several fundamental tests in one
practical, field craft test set. Integrated voltage meter, insulation
tester, time domain reflectometer and automatic resistance bridge, provide
the test functions for basic cable verification and fault locating on
twisted pair, quad and coaxial cables.
Traditionally, cable installers and splicers have been able to use time
domain reflectometers (TDRs) to find cable features, impedance anomalies
and low resistance faults only (<1000 Ω for telecom cable; < 200 Ω for
power cable). Additional pieces of test equipment have been required to
more thoroughly test and verify performance of installed cable. Installers
and splicers are then required to carry multiple instruments, learn
multiple product interfaces, and make multiple cable connections to handle
a single job. The CFL800E provides a more simple, practical approach that
can address a wider range of cable verification and cable fault locating
issues. |
