CA780 CABLEIZER Metallic Cable Analyzer
The CA780 is the affordable answer to equipping the Installer, Service Technician, Trunk Technician and construction personnel. Never has such a complete cable analyzer as the CA780 combined the ease-of-use with high accuracy and portability
Overview
The CA780 CABLEIZER Metallic Cable Analyzer — Quickly and easily locate defects in all metallic cables with a highly sensitive analyzer and easy-to-read LCD display!
The CA780 locates even minor faults due to superior sensitivity. Broken or damaged shielding and loose or corroded connectors can be easily located. The CA780 combines the ease-of-use with high accuracy and portability.
The CA780 is a TDR (Time Domain Reflectometer); measurements include: cable length, VOP (velocity of propagation), impedance, VSWR (ratio of maximum voltage to minimum voltage on the cable), Delta distance and Delta return loss. Cable signature displays may be stored in memory and later recalled for reference or printed directly to your serial compatible printer.
Features
Minimizes downtime by accurately pinpointing cable faults or shorts Automatically determines the length of a buried cable or spools for accurate documentation and verification Automatically determines the VOP of a known length of cable with no calculations or interpretation errors Positively identifies the exact distance to cable faults, the first time, every time Stores all types of cable signatures for system documentation and future system troubleshooting reference The CA780 is built tough to stand up to field operation Specifications
