Device for determining cable lenth
Device for determining cable lenth
(OP)
Does anyone know of an instrument on the market that can be used to determine the lenth of a cable. I have to re-design a PLC remote I/O system and I am limited to 10,000 feet per channel. This is a large sytem and remote racks are very far apart. I need to determine the lenth of my run before I cut the system loose for conversion.

Some high-end oscilloscopes have this built in, but you are generally better off with a dedicated instrument.
They are available for rent, or if you know a telephone linesman, you might persuade him to do it for you.
Riser-Bond is one of the leading brands of TDRs.
