Technology
Well proven Long used technology Electrical, telephone and CATV industries. Increasing in use
Provide information on cable status much faster than other methods. Some industry commentators suggest that a TDR will be built into many instruments in the future

Product Uses
TDRs are typically used to find existing faults on cables and have more applications in related areas such as:
Defining and proving a cable installation Establishing a benchmark for future comparison Cable length measurement (installed and on reel) Locate and evaluate events such as splices and joints Detect Bridge taps

Additional Uses
Also research by NASA suggests that Aircraft Maintenance can be aided by regular TDR measurement TDR may be used to identify chafing of electrical wires on aircraft

TDR Overview
TDRs locate and identify faults on metallic paired cable TDRs look for a change in impedance on the cable
Cable damage, water ingress, taps and slices, flaws, etc.

A pulse of energy is transmitted down a cable

When the pulse reaches the end of the cable, or a fault, part of the energy is reflected back The reflected pulse can identify the nature and location of the fault

Used in Electrical, telephone and CATV industries.

Provide information on cable status much faster than other methods

Typical TDR Reflections

TDR used to locate cable faults and determine length Shape of reflected pulse indicates fault type Knowing VOP for cable allows distance to fault to be displayed Length of cable on drum can be determined Variable pulse widths enable location of near and far faults
