Product Description:
Tektronix 1502C Metallic Cable Tester
The 1500C Series is designed to quickly and easily locate opens, shorts, crimps, and other defects in metallic cables. The 1502C can measure up to 2,000 feet (625 meters).
Using a process similar to radar, the 1500C Series transmits electrical pulses down the cable under test. Impedance changes in the cable reflect some of the pulse energy back to the MTDR. The reflections are displayed on a backlit, HyperTwist, high-contrast nematic LCD display. The characteristics of the displayed trace allow the user to determine the nature of the cable fault.
When testing 50 Ohm cable with a Vp of 0.66, the 1502C allows the determination of 0.5 Ohm cable faults. Multiple faults can be measured as close as 0.8 inch. The 1502C measures 50 Ohm impedance only. Amplitude - 300 mV nominal into 50 Ohm load
System Risetime - 10% to 90%, 200 ps (1.15 in./2.92 cm)
Electrostatic Discharge Protection - 1 kV/500 pF/1 kilohm
Noise Filtering - 1 to 128 averages
Vertical Scale - 0.5 mp/div to 500 mp/div
Distance/Division - 0.1 ft./div to 200 ft./div (0.025 m/div to 50 m/div)
Digital Filtering Reduces Displayed Noise, Resulting in a Cleaner Waveform Display
Vertical and Horizontal Delta Modes Allow Easy Delta Measurements
