AEMC CA7027 Cable Tester

The Fault Mapper Pro® Model CA7027 is a hand-held graphical  TDR (Time Domain Reflectometer) designed for identifying and locating faults on  power and communication cables, given access to one end only.

The Fault Mapper Pro® measures cable length and  indicates the length and distance to cable faults to a range of 9 ft (3 m) to  19,000 ft (6000m) on virtually any type of cable. It injects a series of pulses  into the cable under test. The velocity at which the pulses travel is determined  by the type of cable, which is known as the velocity of propagation (Vp) of the  cable. The Velocity of Propagation (Vp) is adjustable between 1% and 99%  enabling accurate calibration to the cable under test.
