Tektronix 1502C Metallic Time Domain Reflectometer (MTDR)
The Tektronix 1502C is an advanced Metallic Time Domain Reflectometer (MTDR) designed for professionals in the telecommunications and electrical industries. This state-of-the-art device transmits an impressive 200 ps rise time step pulse along the cable under examination, enabling precise fault detection and analysis.
Featuring a high-resolution LCD display, the 1502C visually presents reflected energy data, allowing users to effortlessly identify types and locations of cable faults. When testing standard 50 ohm cables with a velocity of propagation of 0.66, the device can effectively detect cable faults as low as 0.5 ohms. Remarkably, it can resolve multiple faults situated as closely together as 0.6 inches, making it an invaluable tool for troubleshooting.
Key Features:
- Menu Selectable Ohms-at-Cursor Function: This feature provides a direct readout of impedances, streamlining the process of identifying faults.
- Adaptable to Various Impedances: While the 1502C is optimized for 50 ohm cables, it can be employed with other impedance cables through adjustments to the front panel vertical scale control or by utilizing optional impedance adapters.
- Maximum Measurement Range: Enjoy a remarkable measurement span of up to 2000 feet, offering flexibility and efficiency in a range of applications.
- High Resolution Fault Location: The 1502C is specifically engineered for high-resolution fault location, particularly effective on shorter cable lengths.
Investing in the Tektronix 1502C means equipping yourself with one of the best tools available for reliable and accurate fault location in metallic cables. Its combination of speed, accuracy, and ease of use makes it an essential piece of equipment for those who demand quality and performance in their measurements.
