The TelScout TS90 handheld time domain reflectometer allows network operators to install and maintain twisted pair plant or deploy new digital services including ISDN and ADSL. Outside plant technicians can use the instrument to identify and locate faults in twisted pair cable. Users choose the cable type to be tested, and the instrument automatically selects and adjusts the impedance, Vp, gain, pulse width and vertical position. The TDR also provides advanced filtering and signal processing to ensure measurement range up to 45,000 feet and clean waveforms. Pricing starts at $1495. Tektronix Inc.
