Description The 1205CXB is a Time Domain Reflectometer, also known as a Cable Radar. Electrical pulses are transmitted into a cable, and a portion of the pulse energy is reflected back from cable imperfections. These can be discontinuities (eg cable joints, changes in cable type or the far end of the cable under test) or faults (typically short circuits, open circuits, high resistance joints or water ingress).
