The AEMC Fault Mapper Pro CA7026 telephone/coaxial/parallel cable tester is a handheld, graphical TDR (Time Domain Reflectometer) designed for identifying and locating faults on power and communication cables when given access to one end only. The CA7026 measures cable length and indicates the distance to cable faults and terminations to a range of 11,700 ft. or 3500 m (user selectable) on virtually any type of cable of two or more conductors.

The AEMC Fault Mapper Pro CA7026 shows a reflection profile of the cable under test as an oscilloscope- like trace on a 128 x 64 pixel graphical LCD. A movable cursor can be aligned with points on the trace-- the distances displayed will automatically update to the cursor position.

The AEMC Fault Mapper Pro CA7026 has a selectable impedance facility allowing it to be matched to the cable under test. This automatically eliminates the transmission pulse from the display enabling easier identification for short range faults and terminations.

The Velocity of Propagation (Vp) is adjustable between 1% and 99% enabling accurate calibration to the cable under test. The AEMC Model CA7026 incorporates an oscillating tone generator that is detectable with a standard tone receiver, for use in the tracing an identification of cables.

Applications for AEMC Fault Mapper Pro CA7026 Cable Tester:

  • Determine length of cable runs
  • Find cable faults and the distance to them
  • Determine degradation of cables due to moisture and other contaminants
  • Trace and identify cables
  • Determine telephone cable connections and the length to them

AEMC's Fault Mapper Pro CA7026 Cable Testers ship complete with:

  • Soft carrying case
  • BNC pigtail cable w/alligator clips
  • (4) 1.5 V AA batteries
  • Manual
